THE U. o. A. M.
Inside Facts Con cerning the Organization
Run by Pollard and Patt.

Inside Facts Con cerning the Organization
Run by Pollard and Patt.
A few days ago the TRIBUNE referred to
the society known as the United Order OF
American Mechanics which has many
members In this vicinity and Is run by
Henry &. Pollard and Andrew J.Patt. Since
then one of the TRIBUNE men has been
further investigating and reports as fol-
lows:
The PRINCIPLES of the society, taken
from its constitution and bylaws, are |:
"As American Mechanics and Business
Men, having for years, and more particu-
larly OF late, felt the peculiar disadvan-
tages under which we labor and
believing from past experience and frcm
present appearances OF the future, that in
stead OF the evil abating there Is a strong
belief, il not certainty, of its incrcas-
ing, we feel ourselves bound by the duty
we owe to our families and our COUNTRY
to provide for our own protection by
forming ourselves into an association to
advance such objects and carry out such
principles us shall best promote the inter
ests, elevate the character and secure the
happiness of the body OF Mechanics and
Business Men Of this country"
The principles" then 70 on and tell Us
OF
"BLiGI5iLfff ron Membership"
which let "Every WHITE male citizen,
over eighteen years Of age, HAVING BEEN
BORN IN THE UNITED STATES or TERRI
ha int Of 4 ka
flag, and having good moral character,
Is eligible to membership therein"
The reporter vas rather delicate in the
matter Of "moral character" and did not
ask which of the ten commandment
were considered immoral because Pollard
and Patt are members, and he does not
know which OF them they have or have
not broken.
After the principles" comes the "pre.
amble," which Is, In eject, the charter
granted to the State Council by the Ma
tional Council and is of the verbose style,
a regular law document.
Then comes the State Council Constitu-
tion and is, as a matter OF fact, only set
OF rules founded upon the general style
OF the constitutions of similar organiza-
tions and based upon the "principles."
Each State Council has q seal.
General Law XXI contains among
other things In section 8 a law which
says: "Each suboI dinatc Council be and
they are hereby required to observe the
laws, ceremonies, ETC., adopted and fur
nished by this National Council"
The grammar Of the above might he ex-
cused by such men as Pollard and Patt,
but what are the "et ceteras" furnished
Then follow several forms, ci which
"Form No. 8" Is the most important, be-
cause 1t relates to the formation of new
Councils wherein the applicants assert
they are good and true-born Americans,
&c.
This society may be very good in It's
way, but 1t raises a smile when the citi-
ems are told that Pollard and Patt run 1t.
