common council from ward four and served on the highway committee. When the city took over the public water system from the Putnam water company Mir. Hawkins was elected chairman of the board of water com missioners, a position he has since held.
 Whatever Mir. Hawkins undertook to do he did well, putting his best efforts to the task. 1t was due to his conscientious attention to duty for the city that he lost his life while working for the eity's interest. He always wished to have first hand informa- tion of what was being done in the department he served and was often on the job as many hours as were the workmen. He showed the same in terest and gave the same attention to his duties as a member of the high way committee.
 MT. Hawkins was the most widely known Mason in northeastern Wind ham county. He was also the best versed of any member of the craft in Masonic law. His counsel and advice was often sought and his decision was generally taken as final.
 A Mason Since 1887
 MT. Hawkins was raised a Mason while living in Thompson. There being no lodge in North Grosvenor- dale at the time he came under the jurisdiction of Putnam Lodge, No. 46, of Woodstock, which he joined, May 2, 1887.
 It was shortly after this that he came to Putnam and then became affiliated with Quinebaug Lodge No. 106, November IT, 1887 and was veteran of the blue lodge at the time of his death. He had been secretary of the lodge for twenty-five years.
 Mir Hawkins was 32nd degree Ma son. Besides the blue lodge he was a member of Putnam Chapter, R. A. NJ, becoming a member December s, 1887. He was also a veteran of the Chapter and had been it's secretary for twenty three years. He was also member of Montgomery Council. No. 2, K. X $. NJ. of DanielsOn, and Columbia Commandery. Knights Templar. of Norwich, since December l3, 1899. His membership in the Scottish Rites bod ies of Norwich made him a Sand de- gree member.
 Much of his life's interest was een- tered in Masonry. and during his near ly quarter century as secretary of the two local bodies he seldom missed a meeting. It was always his expressed wish that the organization which he so loved should have charge of the last rites when anything happened to him.
 In keeping with his wishes the fu- nera! service will be held at Masonic Temple, Sunday afternoon at 2.30 O. clock, officers of the lodge assisted by Rev. N. B. Burton, officiating. Burial with Masonic rites will take place in Grove Street cemetery.

If we were to call such working
mems clubs branches of the Workers
Party we would be wrong on two
scores. First of all, we would be CIV
ing the impression that this club con-
tanning non-party members is a unit
of the party. Secondly, we would be
narrowing the basis of organization
for these workingmen's clubs. These
clubs are not to consist only Of those
proletarians who are Communists.
The constitution of these clubs is to
be much more inclusive, much
broader. Any worker who accepts,
in general, the idea of the class strug-
gle, regardless of how little he knows
about or how unready he happens to
be at this time for party member
ship, is eligiblewfor membership in
these clubs. In fact we must strive to
draw as many as possible such nom
Communist workers into these clubs
so that we may have the chance to
propagate Communism amongst them.
Obviously it is impossible to call
publicly such workingmen's clubs par
ty fractions of particular nationality.
Such methods will not draw to us the
non-party elements we must have in
these clubs. How can we ask non
party member to join party frac-
ton? If worker is not a member
of the party he cannot be a member
of the party fraction. The principle
of Communist fraction work APP
piled in the trade unions, in the
benefit societies, in the cooperative
societies, and in other working class
organizations is to be strictly adhered
to in the work of the Communist frac-
tons in these workingmen's clubs.
