Juuior Order of American Mechanics,

This fraternity, which is coming into some
what prominent notice just now in connection
with its efforts to preserve the celebration of
Washingtons birthday, was organized in Ger

on a celebration on the 22d in this city. There

assertion that the natal day will be appropri-
ately remembered.

Scarce week passes but news is re-
ceived from some lodge OF the presence of i'm
posters who have either formerly belonged to
the order and been expelled or who have in
some manner obtained possession of receipts
belonging to members and use them as evil
denees of membership. Klamath Lodge No.
Al of Crescent City during the past week has
notified Grand Secretary Shaw that party
calling himself Harvey r. Temple has beer
travelling extensively III Dakota, Montana and
Washington claiming TO belong to said lodge
and receiving aid at many points. He man
ages 10 visit localities where telegraphic COM
munication is difficult, and before being de-
Ieeted moves away TO another point Sald
lodge believes that the parties who has been
working the lodges under the names o. Reed
Montgomery and Clark are all the same per-
son, as they ali claim to belong to said Klamath
Lodge, when the fact is that no member of
either of those names belongs there.
Deputy /. T. Coffin writes that although the
members in Dutch Flat have been mostly snow
bound during the last month that two candi-
dates have been admitted to the encampment
and two propositions more received. This
shows an improvement in this locality.
Grand Junior Warden Doran of Tulare reports
work in the camp and also that u relief COM
mittee has been formed of the two lodges there
to care for stranger sick and distressed breth-
reu. They are looking forward to visits from
the grand patriarch and grand master during
the ensuing term.
San Andreas had a reception and entertain
ment for its members after installation; agood
time.
Past Grand Franek is pardonably proud OF
the handsome emblem presented to him by
Heeker Lodge; this new subordinate is doing
Well.
The Veteran Odd Fellows of New York, an
association formed upon the model of the

The Rebekah contest for the gold-mounted
gavel at Oakland, on the 30th and 31st ult,
attracted large audience. Among those
present were the grand master Grand Presi-
dent Mrs. g. f. Moreland, Grand Warden War
boys OF Santa Rosa and many eminent officials.
The prize was won by Absit-Inyidia Rebekah
Lodge. The work by Fair Oaks, Brooklyn and
Sunset lodges was remarkable. Every indi-
yidual lodge presented some special excellence,
and il was only by close and exact judgment OF
every minute point as a whole that the award
could be determined. Although the prize
could be given to but one, good judges concede
that the work OF each was unusually brilliant.

A Distress Call.

In reply to letters upon the subject, it may
be remarked that it is a principle of American
justice and law to presume every citizen who
is charged with an offense to be innocent until
he is proved guilty and it is also principle
of offraternity if a suppIcant is naked, thirsty or
hungry not to inquire at the time by what
means said supphcant came to this miserable
position but to relieve his wants first and
make inquiries afterward Good advice is worth
but little provided physical wants go unre-
Heved.
1t is very true that there are at this time in
this city large number OF persons belonging
to various fraternities who are here as wit
neSSes and some as principals under charges as
offenders in matters connected with the recent
great railway strike. 1t is stated that these
men are without means to properly defend
themselves in the suits against them; and they
also state that some of them after losing their
positions upon the railways here and securing
positions elsewhere have been followed up by
the influence of former employees and deprived
of their situations, preventing them from
maintaining their families and placing them
in actual poverty.
With the statements, pro or con, fraternities
as such have naught to do, but with distressed
brethren and their families they do have. The
fact exists that there are many men now in
this city and elsewhere who are out of work
and find it impossible for some reason TO OBJ
tain or retain a situation if obtained for but
little while, and that these men and their
families need the practical assistance which
the legitimate orders guarantee to their mem
bers.
1t is not question whether they have been
prosecuted for conspiracy against railways or
some other offense, but it is fact that
they are members at present in good
standing in various orders and that they and
their families need aid; and on this ground
and this alone aid has been, will be and should
be extended to the extent that none should go
hungry or suffer for the necessaries of life.
And for this purpose, and this only, as far as
our knowledge goes, has aid been extended
and sympathies expressed by orders for those
&c QirrY1O mir
can formally adopt measures in case like this
but members, from an individual standpoint,
can and have presented the case to the sub
ordinates to which they belong, and individ-
tlal action has obtained tangible assistance for
this, as it would for any other recognized
charitable object.
