The National tribune., 1883-05-31
OHIO.

General Order, No. 5, issued at Columbus, on
the 21st inst, by command of Charles t. Clark,
Department Commander-David Lanning, A.
A. G-contains the following: The censoli-
dated reports for the first quarter of 1888 show
total gains in membership 2,465 losses by trans
fer, discharge and death 146, and by suspension
LOOP. The rules and regulations require all
comrades whose dues are unpaid for six
months to be reported suspended The total
membership in Ohio at the end of the first
quarter was 16,600 and according to the reports
one out Of every sixteen comrades was in ar
rearS for dues An examination of the reports
show many of our most jealous and prominent
comrades to be among the number. No doubt
they would be greatly shocked if notified of
their standing. The evil ought to be remedied.
Post Commanders will Immediately, on receipt
of this order, adopt effectual measures to re-
duce the suspended list to the minimum, and
are enjoined to have the dues collected promptly
hereafter. In every case, when a comrades
circumstances make it proper to do so, he should
be excused by vote of the Post. Attention to
this matter and continued effort in recruiting
will enable us to report 10000 comrades in good
standing at the National Encampment. The
indications are that our gains in the current
quarter will be greater than in any previous
quarter.
