Matters of Interest in Savannah and
Elsewhere,
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men, although it suffered losses during the
time when Debs and the A. r. U. were
meeting with some announcement in their
efforts to break up the old railway organi-
cations, is still a strong body. A statement
by Grand Master Sargent at the biennial
convention, now in session, places the
total membership, including those en-
ployed as engineers and hostlers and those
not now in railway service, at 1856. OF
these, ASH are employed as engineers, of
whom LIP are members also of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers. De-
Quoting the members who are engineers
or hostlers, those who are not in railway
service and those who are out of employ
ment-a total of 6,5S7-it appears that the
number of members actually engaged in
firing in road or switching service is H.
26S. AS the number of locomotives in the
United States Is over $1,000, 1t would seem
that about one-third of the men employed
in firing are at present members of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen Mr..
Sargent gives one rather surprising rea-
son for the falling off in membership in
these words; There is springing up among
the members of our lodges in certain local
tiles a bitter feeling on account of the re-
ligious views of some of the members. 1
am very sorry to say that 1t has come very
near running many of our lodges. This,
to me, is very deplorable. had hoped the
organization would always steer clear of
such disastrous results; that the members
would be broad-minded enough to allow
each member to worship God as he saw
fit" The Insurance department of the
brotherhood shows a membership of a.
461, of whom 20.076 carry beneficiary GER
tFficates for 81 500, the remainder being
for S, 900 or $500. This feature of the organ
iaztion has done very large amount of
good, as is indicated by the statement that
since its organization II has paid to
widows orphans and disabled brothers
SO, So, 621, Like all assessment insurance
associations, however, it has had many
short-lived contributors, and the report
covering the past two fiscal years emu
merates 5,169 explosions and $3.50 with
drawals Mr.. Sargent, however, states
that the expulsions have decreased, while
the Invitations have increased, and reports
for the past year 40 new lodges organized,
while 80 lodges surrendered their char
ters.
