condition OF humanity in every possible
manner; to stimulate moral and mental
culture; a nd, by wholesome prccepts, fra
tcrual counsel, and social intercourse,
elevate the membership ana advance it
toward higher and noblcr life
The organization OF the order consists
of supreme, grand, and subordinate castles.
PRECEPTS OF THE ORDER.
The order is based upon the most liberal
principles consistent with future prosperity,
and is especially adapted for all, be they
rich or poor. 1t has for its motto Fidelity,
VaIor and Honor"
The ritualistic work consists OF three
degrees, viz: First, or Pilgrims; Second,
or Knights, and Third, or Crusaders de-
gree. The three degrees are symbolic OF
soldier battling for his faith. He is first a
pilgrim, thena knight, and finally crusader.
The social feature is one of the character
istics OF this order, and has greatly assisted
in increasing its membership. Castles gen.
orally confer one degree at a session, de-
voting one meeting each month to social
entertainments, for the Improvement of the
members and the development OF the prin
ciples upon which the order is founded.
Families are thus brought into closer rela-
tiOnship with each other, whereby the
bonds of fidelity, Yalor and honor are
more widely extended.
Although it is not obligatory for the mem
bers of the order to connect themselves
with the military branch. the young men
in the order look upon it as worthy OF
being encouraged. These communicates
are separate organizations, formed after
the style of mil itary companies, and
equipped with regulation or fatigue uni
form as they prefer.
The death benefit fund is composed OF
members in good standing of subordinate
castles between the ages of eighteen and
forty-five and members of subordinate
temples between the ages of sixteen and
forty-fivc, who must pass a medical ex-
animation previous to their admission.
WOMEN AMONG THEM
Temples are composed Of ladies not less
than sixteen years of age. Members of
the order are also eligible to membership.
The regulation uniform consists of black
coat and pantalOons, black chapeau
trimmed with gold lace and appropriate
emblems, with three ostrich plumeS-
white, purple and yellow. BaIdric OF
royal purple velvet trimmed with gold
lace, bullion fringe and escutcheons. Belt

The panic of 1898 extended into 1894,
and affected The electrical industry prob
ably more than any other branch of bHSi-
ness. Thousands of electrical workers were
thrown out of work, and under such con
dition it was rather difficult to organize
new unions. However, siRe the third con-

TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION.
Among the topics which win engage the
delegates two are OF great importance
One OF these is a proposition To establish
Rneudowncnt insurance for the members Of
the unions and their families. The other
relates TO making some regulations for the
examination OF electric wiremen, and a

He left st. Louis, and, on his own re-
sources, by working ia different cities, or
ganiZed unions in Louisville, Evansville,
Indianapolis, Chicago and Milwaukee. Dur
ing the same time the st. Louis union ap
pointed an organizing committee, which
was in correspondence with the different
unions, and sent out invitations for a ma
tiOnal convention. st. Louis was the city
selected, and the call was issued for con-
veDtion to meet on November /, 1891. On
that date St Louis, Evansville, Indianapo-
lis, Toledo and Chicago were represented
by delegates and Philadelphia, Milwaukee
and Duluth by proxies, making ten dele
gates present, representing eight unions and
about 800 members.
The convention was in session for one
week, aud organized the National Brother
hood OF Electrical Workers, prepared con-
Stiultiou, ritual ana all other paraphernalia
necessary for q national organization.
Henry Miller, who was so active in estab-
fishing the organization, was elected the
first president OF the brotherhood

dent Miller went TO Birmingham, Ala, to
attend convention of The American Fed

for affiliation with that body. While in

This convention was very successful, ants
before its close the Electrical Union of New
York city, known as No. BAGS. "A. F. of l.,
made application TO the convention for
charter, which was granted, ard the union
took place as No 3 in the brotherhood.
At this convention the death benefits for
both members and their wives were doubled,
and the executive board was increased froI-
five TO nine members 1t was also decided
20 start an official journal at the beginning
OF the year 1898.
At this convention Henry Miller was re-
elected grand president. During the Sec
ond year of the brotaerhoOd's existence
the grand president was on the road all
the time organizing unions, and at the
time the third annual convention met in
Cleveland, Ohio, there was total OF sixty
five unions owing allegiance to the National
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
A number OF amendments were made to
