The Ancient Order of United Workmen,
commonly known as the a o. U. W., was
organized on October 9th, 1868, at Mead
vile, Pa. 1t is very strong organization,
having at this date 250 900 members, dis
tributed over the United States and Can
ada. There are over 400 subordinate
lodg and four and one-half million dollars
per annum is distri outed to the widows
and orphans of the deceased members, be-
sides large amounts expended for other
benevolent purposes.
The lodge system of the order is essen
italy Democratic in principle.
The subordinate Lodge is composed Of
the members of the Order, is the sole chan.
mel Of admission, and is the medium through
which the various funds are collected and
6isbursed and the detail work of the order
performed.
The Grand Lodge is composed of repre-
sentatives from the subordinate lodges
meets annually or semi-annually, and is
the legislative body for the territory over
which its jurisdiction extends.
The Supreme Lodge is composed Of
representatives from the grand lodges has
legislative Jurisdiction over the entire
order, and is the court of last resort in the
order.
1t will thus be seen that the society i.
controlled absolutely by the mem bers, an(
J its policy dictated for the good of the whole
and not in the interest of few designing
persons.
