...loyal. He is loyal to all to whom loyalty is due: his Scout Leader, his home and parents and country." Aside from the fact that loyalty to employers is not mentioned in the U. S. version out of deference to such organizations as John L. Lewis' United Mine Workers, who at one time looked askance at the Scouts, the difference is typical. Otherwise the parallelism is perfect through all the first nine Scout laws (Trustworthiness, Loyalty, Helpfulness ["at least one good turn every day"], Friendliness, Courtesy, Kindness to Animals, Obedience, Cheerfulness, Thrift).

...virtually the entire political background of the man who rates today with Governor Murphy of Michigan as one of the two most famed pro-Labor Governors of the U. S. That distinction does not rest on the fact that he has Tom Kennedy, secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers of America, as his Lieutenant Governor. It rests on George Earle's own popularity with the miners and steelworkers of Pennsylvania, on the fact that he was able to go out and effectively stump his State last autumn, helping to bring Pennsylvania into the Democratic column for Franklin Roosevelt...

With the United Mine Workers demonstration looming over the week end, Governor Earle had asked Bethlehem's President Grace to close down the Cambria Works in the interest of domestic tranquillity. Mr. Grace refused on the ground that "to close the plant would involve the admission on our part that the forces of law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are powerless to protect our men in the exercise of their right to work. We cannot assume the grave responsibility of making such an admission." If the plant had to be closed, said Steelman Grace...

...everywhere during the last eight years. . . . What Mrs. Simpson and the Duke did is not the sort of thing we would stand for in the White House. No American President has ever put to the people the question: Can I take another man's wife and make her mine?
