This Association shall be known as
the Railway Conductors and Engineers
Mutual Benefit Association, home office
at Devils Lake. North Dakota. NJ
The object of the Association is to
pay to its members the sum Of $4,000
in case they are discharged or pen
stoned in accordance herewith. We
all know that after putting in the long
years Of hard work and worry neces-
sary to be able to secure a position as
Conductor or Engineer, we could not
afford to lose it through any careless
ness or misconduct on our part, and
many times a position is lost through
no fault Of our own, and $4,000 avail
able at that time would be a Gods
blessing to many family. We have
) started this Association in order tc
help it's members in the time of need
when. by the aid Of a few hundred
! dollars they will be able to care fol
}, their loved ones until such time al
they are able to secure another posi-
ton or engage in some other business
We are meeting with grand success
: and we expect the members to render
> us every assistance in their power tx
keep the personnel of the Association
), up to standard, and prevent the unde
/ sirable one from getting on our books
i We know Of none who are better quail
fed to judge as to whether an appli
cant is entitled to membership or no
( than the men among whom he may b,
: employed. It seems to us that ever,
railway employee who is eligible il
membership should hasten to avail hin
4 self of the protection offered, and afte
81 receiving it to induce his friends to d
s. the same. This is a grand organization

a member eligible and each one shout
