When Mr.. Neal took charge of the
endowment rank he at once began an i'm
vestigation and started out to bring about
a better state of affairs. Instead Of the
investigation being demanded by the In
surance department of Illinois. ii was
asked for by Mr.. Neal. who desired that
nothing be concealed. but that the order
and the public generally should know the
exact condition of the endowment rank.
n whatever there is about it that should
not be, the past management. and not
the present management. is responsible
for, and the Investigation is due to the
honesty of MIR. Neal. who desired to do the
right thing.
There has never been any talk of abol-
ishing the endowment rank, and there will
be none. That organization has already
paid N6.ooo,ooo in benefits 80 the widows
md orphans of knights of Pythias. and it
wifi not die now. but will continue in its
good work despite the fact that 1t has
~ u lQttS&itttUit C&tcHl III ZIG
past from bad management.
1T was said in the News article re-
ferred TO that many old men were be-
ing carried on the list. that one policy
was carried by a man eighty years of
age and another by a mar ninety. This
is doubtless true, but it is tru OF every
organization, and the endowment rank
doubtless has as few old men as any other
insurance organization.
'The old men we have now are men who
Went into the rank in the very beginning.
and. of course. we could not kick them
out il we would. n would not If we
could, but the order of Knights OF Pythias
is largely made up of young men. and so
the endowment rank is necessarily made
up of young men. A man can not become
a member of the order of Knights of
Pythias after he is fifty years OF age
without a special dispensation. and there
is absolutely no way by which he can be-
come a member of the endowment rank
after he has passed the half century mark.

endowment rank need be uneasy about the
value OF his policy. II he dies. those who
are dependent on hin for support viii re-

for dollar and will continue to be as the
years go by. for what the insurance de-
partment thought should happen has al
ready happened. A new management has
taken hold of affairs. new life has been
infused into the organization, the Increase
in membership has been greater during
the last Ave months than in any five
months in the history OF the organization.
New sections are being organized every
where; young men are coming to the rank
in droves; the Supreme Lodge stands be-
hind u with all its power; the mistakes
that have been made will be convicted
and set right, and within a year from

Steel and rim Plate Workers in adopt
ing the new pudding scale will demand
a great increase on existing prices
There is no doubt that the men feel
that they can earn every dollar they
can get for their arduous labor. Work.
ingmen as a rule never think of market
condition, however. The revolution in
steel making has made 1t a cheaper pro-
duct than wrought iron, and in many
instances has displaced iron. If wrought
iron could be made as TNply as steel
there are many places where iron would
have the preference. The puddlers, if
successful in having the scale adopted
by them enforced, may make more mon
ey, but in doing so they will drive many
consumers of metal into using steel be-
cause of the lower price at which it
can be produced and sold. The end will
be that many puddlers and fnishers
will have to turn their jobs over to
steel makers.

until about 1890, and then 1t was not
much good. Their large tent was not
yet completed at 1870, and this held
the performance back. The perform
ance was medium. The tents looked
like a cyclone had struck them, being
torn in numerous places, and would
not have been in the least way water

Indianapolis News, May %, 1901.
Union B. Hunt, Supreme Representative
in the order of Knights of Pythias. says
every p~olicy-holder in the endowment
rank of the order will be paid in full.
From reports. he says, the public might
be led to infer that the institution is
now under bad management, and thai
the insurance authorities of the State
believe there should be a change OF man.
agement. whereas, he says. In fact, there
has been a change of management and
since this change a general renovation
and clearing of the atmosphere.
Il am glad to see that Auditor Hart ex-
presses his opinion that the endowment
rank will pay its losses. and that 1t will
be licensed to do business in Indiana. AS
will be discovered, he expresses his con-
fidence in the buiness ability of Charles
F.. s. Neal. the new president. The News
said Friday that the report of the en-
dowment rank showed that it had $500. 600
invested in the Lexington hotel, Chicago.
and sos, 900 in coal lands In Texas. and
that a feature of the report was the fact
that the furniture. the original cost of
which was s44, $50. is said to have appre-
ciated in value Until 1t is now worth
$Ss,55o. TIL truth about 1t is that the
hotel furniture was bought at a bargain.

innings was pretty fast, but after that

: The fact that Wheeling captured the
NEXT session of the ~Amalgamated Con-
vention was a matter for congratula-
tion among the labor element yester-
day. as well as business men. A big
effort had been made to land this i'm
portant gathering of representative
labor men, and the successful out
come of the joint endeavors of the
Board of Trade committee and the
representatives of the Wheeling Lodges
is something to be proud Of. The fact
will result in bringing about two hun-
dred and fifty men to the city, and as
the session lasts three weeks, the adj
vantage can be readily appreciated.
The improvements at the Benwood
plants are being hustled along, and
additional men have been put to work
on the Riverside improvement at
Boggs' run.
The McMechen strike was satisfac-
torily settled the first of the week. to
the great glee of a large ele-
ment of the community, and at pre-
sent there is no labor disturbance in
this district, everybody being at work
on both sides of the river.
Some difficulty was experienced in
several plants the latter part of the
week, occasioned by a shortage of nat
ural gas. Mill e. at the Riverside
has been off, the cause being the plac-
ing of new boilers, and the skelp de-
partment of the Wheeling Steel and
Iron Company has been off since last
Sunday, the cause being a shortage of
metal.
The building trades are unusually
active, and this condition may be ex-
pected to be maintained until late in
the fall, giving steady employment to
q large number of men in many
trades.

from office He has succeeded in dis
gusting the orderly element of the com

gained any of his lost popularity by an
order addressed to his political oppo-
nents and personal critics, directing
them to appear before him and be

count of his course, and the inadequacy
of the force at the disposal OF Sheriff
Mckinley, Of Allegheny County, Nc
Keesport yesterday was practically in
The hands of a mob able to prevent
the resumption Of operations at the Ma
tional Tube Works. That there was no
blood shed doubtless is due TO the fact
that the steel company and its en-
ployes bowed to the storm and refrain
ed from active resistance to the strik-
ers.
What is to happen pext will not be
long in developing. The bare truth is
that a large number of men have Sc
ceded from the strike, and returned TO
work in the tube mill for the few days
the strikers allowed them to. They
are anxious to resume their old places,
the company wants them to do 50, and.
under the law they are entitled to lib
erty of action, and must be protected
by the State authorities in exercising
the right. If the mayor win no. and
sheriff cannot protect them. then it is
competent for their employers to call
upon the Governor for troops. and there
is no reason to doubt that they will be
promptly furnished.
Archbishop ireland has well said that
the right to strike is unassailable, but
il is not more sacred than the right to
work ii one desires to, free from inter-
ference. The MoKeesport strikers have
made signal mistake in attempting to
invade the latter by preventing the
entrance of workers into the tube
works. The strikers have assumed an
attitude defiant of law and order, and
will have themselves TO thank for the
consequences
