HOLD JUBILEE
LODGE REJOICES IN DOUBLING
OF MEMBERSHIP
INCREASE MADE DESPITE PERIOD
OF HARD TIMES
Union VIII Turn Election of Officers
Into Rejoicing Over Prosperous
Growth of Body in Two
Years

Los Angeles lodge No. 311, Interna-
tional Association of Machinists, Whlcn
will hold it's annual election Monday
night, will have a jubtlatton meeting In
connection, as it has doubled its mem
bership in the last two years. This has
been in spite Of the intervening finan-
cial depression, which had its effect
upon the machinists and similar labor
organization and severely felt as by
any business.
I'VE have kept pace with the growth
of the international, and we are GER
tainly proud of it, said c. N. Hughes,
business agent of No. 81, yesterday.
"Our local membership has increased
from about 300 to over 600, and in TINS
increase we have secured the best ma
chinists in Los Angeles who did not
already happen to be in the union.
'fUnionism in Los Angeles has been
going steadily forward, and all the
unions are confident that the coming
year will record a still further growth
The machinists intend to keep up with
the best of them. We shall probably
keep our reduced rate in initiation and
reinstatement fees of SO and So re-
spectiVely for a while yet, but from
present indications this can be closed
before long,"
The annual meeting tomorrow night
promises a large attendance, according
to Business Agent Hughes, who says
the members of the lodge are taking an
unusually active interest in the choice
of officers for 1903.

Lexington County Fair.

The officers of the Lexington County
Fair Association held an important
meeting yesterday at the law offices
of Messrs. Efrd & Dreher. Business
of routine nature was transacted.
All the old committeeman were re-
appointed, and everything, SO far,
points to better fair next fall than
ever before. The fair last year was
indeed satisfactory; after paying all
expenses surplus was added to the
treasury, which will be used in max
ing improvements on the buildings,
etc. The management is to be con-
graduated for their excellent work
and every person in the county should
take pride in the association and
make it the best of the kind in the
State.

other collapse and do not want
to risk themselves from falling

Vulnerable cases of insanity
among the survivors, many of
whom, it is feared, will never

news from scores of small
towns makes the number of
dead inaccurate. Investiga-

with the larger places. 1t s
estimated one hundred thous-
and refugees have embarked on
warships from Messina, Sicily

ships and cruisers are now on
the scene. France has started
five additional battleships from
Toulon. The ships navigated
the straits Of Messina today
without difficulty.
The extent of the second ser
les OF shocks is not yet an

the estimate of the dead has
given rise to the fear that
shocks may have been more ex-
tenslve than was at first believ-

reference is made other than to
say the tottering ruins fell. 1t
is believed the only additional
deaths there are in the ruins
where the pinned-in victims

Death List Will Never be Known.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31-Referring
to the earthquake country, Baron Des
Planches, the Italian ambassador. said
today, They will never know the num-
Der of the dead" Although he had
no relatives, in southern Italy he had
many friends and acquaintance there,
many of whom he fears have been
killed. The loss of life is greater than
it would have been if more of the
buildings in Italy had been constructed
of timber. Stones and brick are used
almost exclusively.
