were proposed, and they all evoked con-
siderable discussion. The following
amendment in relation to charters was
the first to be adopted:
Article II, section q (a) Chapters thus formed
shall send to the secretary of the council their
names, locations, dates of organization, list OF
officers and chapter members. and certincatlon
that the constitution has been adopted, to-
gether with registration fee of so cents per
capita of the charter members. In return the
chapter shall be granted charter and num-
ber be enrolled among the chapters of the
order and each member shall receive a copy
of the constitution and form of admission.
OBJ The same amount shall also be sent to the
secretary of the council or before the date
of admission for each new member enrolled
after the charter has been granted In return
the new member shall receive a copy of the
constitution and form of admission
The increase in the membership of the
order has been so great that the free dis
tribution of the Royal Cross, the official
organ of the order, caused a big loss. 1t
was found necessary to amend section 8
of article so that a subscription fee of
twenty-five cents a year can be charged.
1t was determined hereafter to hold tri-
ennial conventions. Article was added
to the constitution. 1t reads as follows:
Section 1. The order shall have a convention
to be held triennially.
Sec. 2 Said convention shall be composed OF
one delegate from each chapter and one dele
gate from each diocese. which delegate shall
be empowered to voice all chapters in her
diocese which are not otherwise represented
There was no definite settlement as to
the place of holding the next convention.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Right Thingl Wrong Time
.rom the Philadelnhia Recor1.


In introducing a Delaware River I'M
prOyement bill at Harrisburg Repre-
sentative Jones has done a right thing
at the wrong time. The legislative ses-
sion is hanging on by the eyelids at
the pleasure of the Machine; many
jobs and steals remain inchoate as
yet, and the predatory politicians who
run the entire outfit are at their wits
end to stretch the treasury cash so as
to cover appropriations already pro
vided for or promised. None the less
IL should be possible to make a demon
stratiOn SO strong in favor of the
Jones bill that the shipping and mari
time interests would obtaid al least \
fair hearing and announcement for
the future Everybody, almost, fav-
ors harbor improvement in the alb
stract; but when ways and means fo1
its accomplishment are under consid-
eration some new method OF obstrlic-
tion is usually disclosed. The Jolly
Roger boulevard scheme Of q few
City Hall pirates is slated to cost Sc.
600, ,000-quite enough to cut a 30-foot
channel to the sea. Yet who dreams OF
inducing the land pirates to abandon
their wasteful scheme in favor of the
most important project Of public i'm
provement that has ever been pre-
sented for municipal consideration?

General Cailles, one Of the most ac-

in the Philippines, has given up hope
OF accomplishing anything practical in
opposing the United States, and is
gathering his forces preparatory TO
surrender. As a condition preliminary
10 such surrender he asks a guarantee
that his men be liberated as soon as
they take the oath OF allegiance. This
general has been declared an outlaw
by the American military authorities
but this fact, according to advices from
Manila, will not deter him from
placing himself and his followers In
the hands of the Americans, for he says
he is not afraid of the result OF an in
vestigation of his acts in the field. He
repudiates the charges that he has
violated the laws OF war and declares
that he always showed proper consid'
Grafton for his prisoners. If he can
prove these things he has nothing tC
fear, for the disposition on the part OF
the Americans is to make surrender

SUCCESS on MACHINTsTs

Skilled labor has a big advantage
over unslSllled labor in strike. and
that is one reason why the striking
machinists are meeting with such sue
cess in all sections OF the country in
their demand for a nine-hour day. The
disposition on the part OF the en-
ployers Is to refuse the demand and
employ new men to take the places oi
the strikers, but that is impossible be-
cause, in these busy times. few skilled
machinists are in need Of employment
and those few are In sympathy with
their striking brethren, and the pickets
have little to do in the way OF per-
suasion or coercion.
Our local machine shops are exceed
ingly busy at this time. Many con
tracts are In hand and many more are
coming. THIS condition is an element
OF strength to the strikers and an ele-
ment Of weakness 10 the employers
j. The former know that the latter can
not afford to close down their shops
and that is one thing which makes
them so firm In pressing their de
mands.
Everything indicates that by Mon
