Omaha daily bee., 1889-07-14

Workman, the organ Of body OF men in
,his state claiming to belong to the A. o. U.
w. order, is noted particularly for its lack
of ability to state facts as they are even
when the facts have been, for years, mat
ter of record. In it's June issue it makes this
remarkable statement: 1.-THE supreme lodge
meets in June at Omaha. 1t has been seven
y,.rs since Iowa was represented in the ma
tiolal A. o. u. W. council, and the prospects
are that 1t will be at least seven more before
she will again be represented"
II that paper means to say that the body
which it represents is the state of Iowa, or
that IL represents, in the remotest degree,
dl cc'iy or indirectly, the order in Iowa, it
ca well sly that it will be not only seven but
seventy times seven, and still fail of secur-
l e representation in the supreme lodge
TIE body which this paper represents did
bell s once TO the order, but proved recre-
ant t. the trust imposed IN them, violated
lneir obligations and suffered the penalty of
suspension, seven years ago, since which
time II has been debarred the opportunity of
again dishonoring the supreme lodge as it
had formerly done. On the other hand the
A. .. U. w. fraternity in Iowa has been reg.
ularly represented in the supreme lodge
every year, and at the last session OF that
body in Omaha, received the honor of hav-
ing one of her citizens elected supreme mas
ter workman, the highest gift in its power to
bestow. And yet, Iowa. in the language of
that paper, was not represented.
