History Of 81. Peter And Paul Lodge 80

CHICAGO April oath 1885 the writer of this re-
view had the distinct honor of addressing a group of pros
pective members of the Croatian Fraternal Union, and act
as the chairman of the organizational meeting Of st. Peter
and Paul Lodge 80.
This first meeting took place in the parish house To-
Gated at the corner of Escanaba and Goth Streets. Present at

were Is applicants for men,
bership, augmented by nine
members of an existing lodge,
one of which was this writer.
As chairman Of the gath
ering we were expected to say
something in respect to the
benefits and advantages of
membership in the Croatian
Fraternal Union. DESTROYS Of
sharing our knowledge as well
as the benefits Of the society,
we pointed out these benefits
in detail, and in doing so we
also pointed out their impend-
ing responsibility to the So
ciety in return. We wished
them success in their new
venture, into our society. We
welcomed them to our fold
of genuine Fraternalism un-
der the banner of the Croa-
tan Fraternal Union.
At this meeting, Temporal
ry officers of the lodge were
selected, and a decision made
to hold meetings regularly
every third Tuesday of each
month. With this action, the
business being concluded the
meeting was adjourned.

sons for the formation of a

feasible. The past years,
from which we learned that
no advantage was gained by
being apart are better for

bend every effort to gain a
better understanding and pro-
noting Fraternalism and Bro
therly Love. This in turn vii
result in growth and success
in our lodges, for the Croatiar
Fraternal Union, and for thu
Croatian population in Soutl

val, no serious crime or vio-
lence had taken place in the
county. Their entry was the
beginning of much lawless-
ness and bloodshed.
Their first display of force
and brutality was the shoot
ing up of a Croatian boarding
house at Painsdale, occupied
by husband, wife, children,
maid and 7 or s boarders.
Four imported strike break
ers, so-called guards, and two
local deputies went to this
boarding house, late one af-
ternoon on a warm August
day of 1913, to arrest two
boarders who were accused
of trespassing on company
property when they walked
over a path which went by
an engine house. eo.
Early that morning, two or
three Putrich boarders went
to town., to the post office,
over a path which they and
others used for a long time as
a short cut in going to and
from town. When they were
returning, late that after
noon, they saw the path was
roped off and their mine boss
was standing on guard at the
engine house. He told them
they could not use the path
but to go around the main
road. They laughed at him
and one of them said, "Oh
Boss, we make no trouble
and jumped over the rope and
walked along the path by the
engine house.
A few hours later, the
Mine Boss reported this Incl
dent at the Deputy Head
quarters of this mine district
which was in charge of a mar
named Reilly, a bold, brazer
and tough New York guard
When Reilly heard this report
he Immediately said, "come
on boys, let's arrest and show
these damn strikers they car
not ignore the orders of oul
deputy"
Four New York guards
two local deputies and the
mine boss, all armed, walked
about a half mile to this
boarding house. When they
reached the boarding house
they saw a number Of board
ers playing "Boci Ball. in the
yard. After the mine boss
pointed out the two trespas'
sers, Reilly and another New
York guard jumped over
low picket fence and attempt
ed to arrest the two boarders
In attempting to make
these arrests, they first
dubbed and tried to subdut
these two men, but both, be-
ing strong, young and husky

after them. One of the guards
stopped at the kitchen doo1
and the other three and a 10
cal deputy lined up along
narrow walk, at the side o,
the house.

and not to make any trouble
for his boarders. While he
was talking to one of the
New York guards nearest
him, someone, in the rear of
of the kitchen, threw a
small piece of stove wood at
the guard who was talking to
the boarding boss, knocking
off his hat. This guard i'm
mediately fired a shot into
the stomach Of the boarding
boss, who stood two feet a.
way from him, killing him
instantly. The four imported
guards and a local deputy
then lined up in front of four
open windows and emptied
their guns into the kitchen,
dining room and bed room,
killing a boarder and serious
ly wounding another and
slightly wounding a child or
maid. tes ,
After they had emptied
their guns, they all calmly
walked back toward their
headquarters. Before they
got there, it must have dawn
ed on some of them, that they
would be arrested and tried
for murder and that they
had better find a defense for
this killing. So, in about 10
or Is minutes, they were all
back at the boarding house,
to search for weapons. They
went through every part of
this boarding house, while
the dead and wounded still
lay there, unmoved; the wife
and children crying hysteri-
cally, over the body of her
husband and their father.
The only weapon they
found was an old unused re-
volver, which was found in
the bottom of one of the
boarders' trunks. They took
his gun and walked away, I'm.
molested, despite the murders
they committed, only a short
time before. Their defense
now was that someone in the
house shot at them first and
they shot back in elf-defense.

orders they all worked, re.

fer charges against any OF
them and accepted the excuse

Chicago. They were accompa-
MED to this historical meet
ing by the late Brother Mato
Brkljacich who at the time
had the honor of serving as
a member Of the Children's
Home Board.
At the conclusion of the
administration of the Oath
to the new members, there
were expressions of good
wishes for the progress and
future of the lodge by the
three distinguished officers,
adding that their progress
would reflect throughout the
Croatian Fraternal Union.
The record shows that the
lodge cooperated with other
lodges from it's very incep-
ton, in every effort where
the welfare of the Croatian
Union or the South Chicago
people was concerned.
The lodge strived to carry
out fraternal services and
live up to the highest princi-
pies at all times. It contribu-
ted financially and otherwise
to the Croatian Church. It
helped financially, striking
workers in their struggles for
better wages and working
! conditions. 1t gave to it's
members every benefit to
which they were entitled as
prescribed by the bylaws.
Last, but certainly not least,
it always strived to help the
unfortunate with donations
according to their financial
ability.
The membership of the st.
Peter and Paul Lodge look
back upon the past II years
of their existence with pride
and the certain knowledge
that their work in the fra
ternal segment Of their COM
munity is recognized.
AS a result of their mer-
ger with st. Joseph Lodge
200 the name of the lodge
now becomes st. Josephs, but
the number remains as al
ways so that now the two
merged groups will operate
as st. Josephs Lodge 80. The
name has been changed, but
the membership is the same,
and they will continue to
work as always for the ben
eft of the Croatian Fraternal
Union and it's members.
We the undersigned officers
for 20 years in succession,
of st. Peter and Paul Lodge
80, on the eve of our celebra-
ton hailing the merger OF
our two lodges and the Fiji
tieth Anniversary of our new
haven st. Joseph Lodge, wish
to express our thanks and
sincere gratefulness to the
members of st. Peter and
Paul lodge. We thank them
for their confidence in our
leadership by electing and re-
electing us as president and
secretary for 20 consecutive
years. Our efforts were ex-
erted in serving them to the
best of our ability, for the
benefit of our lodge, the Gro
attain Fraternal Union, and
our Croatian people in South
Chicago.
AS officers of st. Joseph
Lodge 80, created by our re-
cent merger, we prmise to
continue the same as in the
past.
Hoping that our merger
celebration is successful and
!, joyful and our coming years
fruitful for our members and
friends. Long live the MEM
bership Of the Croatian Fra
ternal Union all over the
United States and Canada.

Dromond seemed both the
