 wv. W. DISTURBERS
Never More Than Now, the Need for Fearless Patri-
 ealsm, Says Hughes.

Dfverging for a moment in bril- nant tribute to the memory of the deceased members of Bridgeport aerie of F,raternaI Order of Eagles. Grand Treasurer Frederick Hughes of New York. last night bitterly denoupced the band of the I. W. W. who recently in .vaded a New York church.
 ..F1aunting the red flag of anarchy.'s said the speaker, .tand under the les1d- ership of ignorant and 1awles9 men these people even dared to enter the church of God, and there boasting that they feared no God and honored neither our country or our flag. which 100000 members Of our order are pledged to defend, they attempted to tear the sacraments from the altar of the church tell you there never was 8 time in this country when strong and fearless patriotism was needed more.
 Grand Treasurer Hughes then de- clared that every member of the or der was pledged to defend the flag from insult and that the members in every state in the union were pledged to an effort to have passed a work nenss compensation act
 The annual memorial service which was heId in Eagles hall in Madison avenue was both impressive and beau 9ffuf. The stage and balcony was draDed with heavy hang1ngs of black back of the stage and -reress at the side were hidden in black drapery- An altar d9raped in mourning and covered by tho American flag occupied the center of the stage The officers sta tions also were hung with nourning coIors On one side of the stage hung the charter of the serie and on the other the list of deceased members draped with crepe.
 Palms and pottsd plsnts placed around and in front of the stage re- Ifeved the souhr eness of the draper stretched wings was placed in front of the a1fa1. The first three rows of chairs in the audience were reserved for u1ourners for deceased members Every seat on the main floor and in fte balcony was filled and hundreds stood during the service
 The officers of the aerie, all in even ing dress occupied seats on the stage when the SefgicE began worthy President D. J. O'Connor began the servace. saying in part:
 s<once again we meet to pay tribute to the memory of our brofhers who have gone eterna4ly to sleep
 One of the most impressive parts of the service was the calling of the roll of tte dead by the secretary, Thomas M Mcfxamara- One by one the lights iu the ha1I were extinguished and then the black dfapery at the rear of the stage was thrnwn hack reyealing a. number of stars formed of glowing incandescent lights, each light repre- senting a deceased member As the secretary called each name a light was extinguished and in a far recess of the haiI the mournfu1 to1Iing Of g. bell was heard
