THE IRISH STANDARD
Irish Catholic Benevolent Union
Prepared for by Daniel Duffy National President

since in the forefront in support of
federation among Catholic societies
and as a result call was issued for
a conference of representatives of
National Catholic organizations
which was held at Philadelphia on
Sept. 10th, 1900. This was the first
conference or gathering held by that
splendid organization known as "The
American Federation of Catholic So
cieties," and was attended by the
representatives of seven National
Catholic organizations, the I. c. B.
U. being among the number.
A call was issued for meeting to
be held at New York on Thanksgiv-
ing day 1900. The following resolu-
ton defining the object was adopted
and shows the thought in the minds
of the promoters: 1.-THE cementing
of the bonds of fraternal union
among the Catholic laity and the
Catholic societies of the United
States, to foster the works of re-
ligion and piety. to improve by edu-
cation and charity the condition of
our social life, and the dissemination
of truth" The success of the Fed
Grafton is we'll attested by it's splen-
did work.
In times of public calamities the
I. G. B. U. has been prompt in giving
help to the distressed. The princi-
pies of the Union are Catholic in
thought and Catholic in action, it's
test of membership being practical
Catholicity and good citizenship, and
at all times to give support to all
worthy movements and to make our
nations welfare our chief earthly in
terest.
In the wide agitation now preva-
lent in so many sections of our coun-
try in the dissemination of vile litera-
ture by skunks and bigots to poison
the minds of the American people we
might refer to similar conditions in
1898, prior to the breaking out of the
war with Spain, when the same vile
measures were resorted to and many
of the self-esteemed patriots ques-
toned Catholic loyalty and tried
hard to create the impression that
Catholics on account of the nature of
the war would not support their own
country. Believing that the time
was ripe to give expression in a pub
lie manner to the base charges so
frequently made, the executive Off
GERS of the I. c.. B. U. issued the fol-
lowing address to the members:
st. Clair, Pa, March 80, 1898.
To the Members of the Irish Catholic
Benevolent Union of the United
States.
Dear Members: The gravity of the
situation in our national affairs ap-
peals with especial force to the men,
bers of the Irish Catholic Benevolent
Union, and we take this means to
reiterate the cardinal principles of
our Union and publicly express our
answering loyalty and unceasing de-
votion to our country and it's laws,
and to particularly emphasize that
our every effort will be exerted to
stimulate our common citizenship
with true and patriotic feeling in
obeying and supporting every meas
ure advocated by our national rul-
ers in UNFOLDING the honor and dig
nifty of our country. We believe the
time has come when every patriotic
citizen should declare in clear and

Ties or the country into a union, but
the movement did not meet with sue
cess until June 9Th, 1869, when a
number of local societies participated
in the rehabilitation of St. Mary's
church at Piqua, Ohio, and decided
to issue call for a convention of
'All Irish Benevolent societies to be
held at Dayton, Ohio, Aug. 18th,
1869, to take the initiative steps to
secure more perfect union amongst
them" The convention was held on
date named and remained in session
two days. Hon. Dennis Dwyer presid-
ed and in his opening address ex-
pressed the hope that "the fruits of
our labors just begun would ripen
into one grand organization extend
ing throughout the country" The
name, "The Irish Catholic Benevol-
ent Union of the United States" was
adopted, and by resolution declared
cts basis and spirit to be essentially
Catholic.'
The next convention was held at
Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 10, 1870, at
which the insurance idea was adopt
ed with view of increasing the
utility of the Union, that we consti-
tute it a Mutual Life Association to
classify the memb ers into four class
es according to ago, each class to be
assessed for death of it's own men,
bers, and to pay $500 to $4,000"
The insurance feature has since been
adopted and carried out successfully
by several national Catholic organi-
cations.
In order to more fully appreciate
the advantages gained by concerted
action through the union of forces
in an exchange of opinions and the
pooling of thought, we can easily
realize that the pioneers in this great
work were constantly abreast of the
times and lead the way by pointing
out the necessity of cooperation
among our people. At the Louisville
convention of 1871 a resolution was
adopted stating, mot while men,
Der of the Union to admit, knowing
ly. into their body any other than
practical Catholics" also, "all dele
gates to the convention of this I'M
ion must be in practical connection
with the Catholic church." It also
resolved "that it is the duty of every
officer, or body of officers of this I'm
ion, in issuing an address, circular
or other official document, to express
the word Catholic, in giving the
name Of the Union" At the st. Louis
convention Of 1873 an immigration
committee was appointed to ATTEND
to the wants of destitute Catholic i'm
migrants arriving in this country
and in the Rochester convention of
1875, an immigration committee was
appointed to establish Catholic COL
onies." At this convention plan of
union was also adopted for an inter-
change of cards between the I. G. B.
U. of the United States and the I. c.
B. U. of Canada. Early in the his
tory of the union plan to federate
"the various Catholic Benevolent So
cities" was urged and in the Rich
mond convention of 1877 an agree
ment was entered into with the Ger
man Roman Central Verein for an
interchange of travelling cards. The
federation thought was expressed in
several of the early conventions and
at the Trenton convention. of 1900
committee was appointed ito request

AMBIGUOUS RAISED
AND IN DRY DOCK


New York Nov. 27.-Passengers ar
irving here To-Day on the steamer Lu-
sitania from Liverpool say the dread
naught Audacious, reported sunk off
the Irish coast, has been raised and IS
now In a Harland and Wolff drydock
at Belfast, undergoing repairs. Ac-

passengers, this report is current IN
Liverpool and Is accepted as true, al
though the same secrecy is maintain
ed as 10 salvage operations as was the
case regarding the sinking of the bat
tleship and the attendant rescue OF
her men by the steamer Olympic.
The report says the steamship Au-
dacious did not sink in the spot where
she was left by the Olympic but that
other vessels succeeded in drawing
her into shallow water wnere the hole
in her bottom was patched sufficient
ly TO permit her TO be towed TO Bel
fast.
