Is Taking In Many New
Members

The campaign for new members in
augurated by Butler Aerie Fraternal
Order of Eagles, is proving a wonder
full success. The goal fixed at the
start was 500 new members, but this
goal is approaching so fast that the
members say that it will be doubled
before the campaign closes. At the
meeting of the committee in charge of
the campaign held Wednesday night
more than $50 applications were re.
ported having been received.
The unusual small initiation fee be-
ing charged at this time and for thi,
campaign only, is attracting many
men of the city to this popular or
ganizaticn.
The initiation of class of about
$50 will take place on Sunday, De-
cember 21, when it is expected that
Past Grand Worthy Presidents Conrad
H. Mann, who is chairman of the Ma
tional Campaign organization, and
Frank E. Herring, editor of the
Eagles magazine will he present and
address the new members.

LABOR TEMPLE
Considered BY Trades And
Labor Council

At the meeting of the Central body
Tuesday night the proposition of
new meeting place for all the affili-
ated locals was considered. For the
past few years the delegates of the
council realized that the present quar-
ters has been entirely too small to
accommodate all of the growing or
ganizations and many Of the smaller
ones who are obliged to meet else
where. A committee was appointed
to find out if building could be Sc
cured that might be remodeled to suit
the needs of the Hamilton labor un-
ions. Hundreds of labor temples
throughout the country are being
maintained by the labcr unions and
some of them not near the size of
Hamilton and not as many of the
trades unionists.
If building suitable for a labor
temple cannot be secured the commit
tee may submit plans to the Central
body for an entirely new building.
If the proposition for new building
is approved, one can rest assured that
it will be temple that it will be a
credit to the city and to every trades
unionist also. There is no question
as to the labor unions aeeding a build
ing of their own, and one that will
house the entire affiliation and then
some. Of course the committee will
have nothing to report for some time
because the labor temple proposition
is a big undertaking and the financial
end of the same will need careful con-
sideration In the meantime if any
member of the labor unions has any
thing to suggest, the committee will
gladly receive such suggestions.

Trade union circles received a shock
on last Monday when 1t was learned
that Henry Otto Krieger died as re-
suit of injuries received when a scat
fold on which he was working col

high and was constructed for the

pany. After the accident occurred he
was removed to Mercy hospital where
everything possible was done for the
injured man, but he died in less than
three hours of the time when the ac-
cident occurred
Scott" as he was called by his
friends, was known to thousands of our
citizens and was well liked and popu-
lar with all. Brother Krieger was a
union man of the old school. He was
a union'st in all that the word inn
plies. Ever holding to the principles
of the organization of which he was
staunch and faithful member. He
was member of the international
Bricklayers and Masons' local union

est in all its affairs.
To the children, brothers and rela-
tives surviving him, the sympathy of
a large circle of friends is extended.

LICHTLESS NIGHTS
Coming Again For Hamilton
In An Effort To Conserve
Fuel. Water Economy AL
so Urged BY Service Di-

Public Service Director F. j. ].
Sloat has issued an appeal to all citi-
zens to assist in everv way possible
to conserve the fast shrinking fuel
supply. Owing to the general coal
shortage, it is very much feared that
the operation of the electric light plant
and the water works may be effected
and in order to avoid this Mr.. Sloat
requests all to practice the strictest
economy in the use of water and cleo
tricity.
In order to further the conserva-
ton of fuel, Mr.. Sloat ordered that
beginning Wednesday, ornamental
street lights will be discontinued. All
electric signs and special outline
lighting of building should be discon-
tinued, he further added.
Mr.. Sloat says: eve are again op-
Grating under war time regulations
for the conservation of coal, and all
store and residence lighting should be
curtailed to a minimum and | hope
that the citizens in general will assist
in this conservation to such extent
as to make compulsory orders unnec-
essary"
And everyone should assist Mr..
Sloat in his effort to conserve fuel
that our municipal plants may con-
tinue running. 1t is better to do with
a little less light and water for time
than 70 do without it altogether.
