TO PROVE THAT Everything comes if
a man (woman) will only wait" the
members of East Pittsburgh, Pa, Lodge
141 will sponsor Banquet Sunday, Nov
30, of more than passing interest.
Honored on the festive occasion will be
the Lodge al quint which returned from
st. Louis, Mo-, last May weighed down with
the Women's Division Team Handicap
Championship end of the Croatian Frater-
nal Unions Oath Annual National Tenpin
Tournament, the first such bowling honor
in the Lodges long history.
The team was manned" by Kassy
Sardoch, Mary Hydock, Pearl Bobich, Freda
Pribanic, Violet Stifura, and Pauline Pri-
banjo, all of whom will be the center of
attraction during the Nov. 80 recognition
of their conquest of last May. ,..
The festivities will be preceded by
matches involving keglers representing
East Pittsburgh Lodges 141 and 736, neigh
boring Wilmerding Lodge AZ, and outside
Canton, Ohio, Lodge 514 and Johnstown,
Pa, Lodge s. Those interested in these
inter-Lodge battles can take in the show
by visiting the Sokol Hall in North Brad
dock. Firing time: - 1:30 pm. sharp.
This sort of thing - this honoring of
tourney champions and meetings between
bowlers hailing from widely scattered
Lodges - is good for the members of the
Croatian Fraternal Union.
We need more such gatherings, be they
grandiose or of lesser rank.

10000 In 1859

WYE BELIEVE that the Delegates to the
w Society's 10th Natl Quadrennial Con-
vention, which is to be held at Detroit in
September of 1859, will have many reasons
to view with satisfaction the progress of
the Croatian Fraternal Union.
1t is now entirely possible that one of
those reasons will be the standing at the
time of the Junior Order Department, which
- barring a great national economic up
heaval - should soar to phenomenal
record high of 10000 members prior to the
convening of that Convention.
The Oct. 81, 1858, standing of the
Junior Order was IS, 8,4O9 youngsters, very
gratifying increase in strength over the
Jan. 1, 1858, figure of 37,325 members.
But to reach the magic total. of 10000
by September of 1859 will take some con-
centrated work afield, for it will be neces-
sarv to show an increase of at least 1881
new juvenile members during the months
ahead to scale those heights.
Nothing to worry about until one re-
members that the Junior Order Depart
ment's transfers to the adult ranks and
other normal annual terminations repre-
sent a standing headache.
However, nothing is impossible; not if
the second 1959) half of the Society's
current two-year, Membership Campaign
measures up to it's pace of the moment.
Which it should in view of the fact that
1859 will afford many recruiters their last
chance to lay claim to one Of the two Grand
Prize Awards being offered in conjunction
with the Campaign, either trip to Yugo-
slavia or a leisurely cruise in the Caribbean.

South Chicago

THERE is MUCH more to the celebration
Nov. 20, 1858, of the 5th Anniversary
of the CFU's United Lodges of South Chi
cago, ILL.,, than meets the eye
For one thing, the 6 Lodges in this
group - Nos. 9, II, 80, 118, 275, and 948
- are not standby organization good
for one social or other whirl a year. Nor
are their mutual interests preceded by the
dollar ($) sign.
On the contrary, thanks to a militant
leadership and determined membership,
these United Lodges are year-round en-
terprise boasting of their own quarterly
publication, 'The United Lodges News"
Women's Club a Bowling League, Kolo
Club, and other undertakings Of interest to
old and young alike.
They are also good annually for two
social gatherings of the first magnitude:
- u midsummer "CFU Day" celebra-
ton, and p Junior Christmas Party said
to be out Of this world.
All of which isn't done with mirrors:
or with the wave of hand
1t takes great deal of work
Here then - in So Chicago - is what
u meant by "Fraternalism In Action"
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1958-11-26

Which is precisely what this dynamic
man of the cloth did the evening of Tues
day, Nov. 18, 1858, during his off-the-cuff
banquet speech before the delegates to the
47th Annual Session of the Pennsylvania
Fraternal Congress, held in Pittsburgh's
Pick Roosevelt Hotel.
We can only regret that Father Gal
lagher did not prepare what is known in
the trade as "press handouts of the STIR
ring address he delivered that night.
. Choosing as his theme "He Amt
Heavy Father, He's m Brother - the
symbol of Father Flanagan's famed Boys
Town, Nebraska - Father Gallagher took
q long, hard look at the same time at the
fraternal side Of the world.
Stressing the fact that none of our
brothers are so heavy that we cannot help
Duquesne University educator wondered
why fraternalists at times violate the high
est principles of their respective Houses of
Brotherhood by choosing to stoop to the
heights of pettiness.
He wondered why such things as
"cliques' must infest fraternal orders when
even the blindest of members can see the
evil they wreak in their organizations.
He wondered why these "cliques" are
tolerated when they are exposed for what
they are factions pulling in opposite
directions and sowing in their wakes suspi-
cion, distrust, bitterness, malice, deep
rooted hatred, destruction.
He wondered, too, why such divisive
"cliques' are permitted to exist when many
fraternals have long since learned that
they are slowly but surely bringing their
members to their knees by subjecting them
to outside ridicule and inviting suspicion on
the public level.
All of which aroused us.
Not because the fraternals have fallen
on evil days, for each can clean it's own
house, but with the feeling in our heart
that Father Gallagher did his listeners
great service Nov. 18 by alerting them to
their enemies.
Certainly his message didn't bounce
over our head, for - from bitter experience
- we know only too we'll what divisive
"cliques" have meant to our own Society.

italian Liners Down
For Dubroynik Stops

NEW YORK - The Yugo-
slav port of Dubrovnik has
been included as an East
bound port Of call on five 1859
sailings from New York, of
the "a, 500 ton motor vessels,
Saturnia and Vulcania, Ital-
ian Line reports.
The five sailings are Sa-
turnia, February 21, arriving
at Dubrovnik March 8; Vulca-

April 20; Vulcania, May 1,

irving at Dubrovnik June 6.
At each call the two ships will
stay in Dubrovnik for two
hours, en- route to Venice and
Trieste.
The Italian Line adver-
tises extensively in the "a
jednicar.
The decision to make the
call at Dubrovnik on these
five voyages was motivated
by the increased interest of
Yugoslav residents Of the
United States and Americans
Of Yugoslav descent, who will
thus be able to avail them
selves of the direct service
from New York to Dubrovnik.
The two ships will also pro-
vide regular year-round SER

But the real story - al
though censored by most Of
the American newspapers of
the time - revolves around
Mr.. Hughes refusal to re-
spect a picket line thrown up
by the Hotel and Restaurant
Employees Alliance (AFL).
The setting was San Fran
cisco, then a growing, bust
ling, brawling city.
A Fateful Decision
This is the true story, one
which is now a matter Of po-
litical history.
At the time, the San Fran
cisco Chamber of Commerce
announced that it would spon-
sor a banquet for the Repub-
lican presidential candidate
(Mr. Hughes) during his
campaign visit to that city.
A bitter strike involving
the culinary unions - COM
prised largely of Dalmatians
- was in progress at the
same time.
Mr.. Ernst, then secreta-
ry-treasurer of the union,
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1958-11-26

wired Mr.. Hughes at once
to acquaint him with the
non-uniOn character of the
banquet and urge the Re
publican candidate for
President to respect the
unions picket line.
Mr.. Hughes chose to ignore
the advice and went through
the picket line, Mr.. Ernst, as
a newspaperman and union
leader, was quick to retaliate
by publicizing very widely
what Mr.. Hughes had seen fit
to do.
The result was that the
Democratic plurality in Cali
fornia was 1906, enough to
give the presidency of the
United States to Woodrow
Wilson after Mr.. Hughes had
gone to bed confident that he
was to be the next tenant Of
the White House.

just about the same problem
and that we are not alone in
our struggle.

we were most pleased and
honored to have with us the

Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson have
attended several Indiana Fra

and we sincerely hope to have
them with us again in the fu-
ture, as his address always
leaves those present imbued
with "a spirit of enthusiasm

Story Of Croatian Newspaperman, Union Leader
Charles Evans Hughes In History
Snubbing Picket Line
Cost Candidate Dearly
BY John G. Sciranka
- Author, Writer -
Passaic, New Jersey

DAY fuckers article
~ Graveyard for Politi-
cians," which appeared in
many American newspapers
Monday, Nov. 10, 1858, dealt
at length with the recent
downfall of the Republican
Party in the State of Califor-
MIA.
Mr.. Tucker at the same
time also recalled another his
toric COP setback in that
State, Gov. Charles Evans
Hughes downfall in 1916 at
the hands Of Woodrow Wilson
for the presidency of the Uni
ted States, a loss inflicted by
the California voters as the
punishment for a chain of
events in which a Croatian
played a very prominent part.
Mr.. Hughes was at the
time the Governor of Cali
fornia and had retired early
on the evening of the cleo
ton day confident that he
was Americas next Presi-
dent.
But he did not reckon with
his own people, the voters of
California, whose startling
switch to Democratic candi-
date Woodrow Wilson buried
overnight the hopes of Mr..
Hughes and the Republican
Party as a national power.
Real Story Censored
The Croatian who played a
prominent role in that 1916
presidential election was the
late Hugo Ernst, a fearless
newspaperman and union or
ganizer.
I first got acquainted with
MIR. Ernst through my good
friend Vlaho S. Vlahovic, New
York City, an American Yu-
goslav journalist whose son
is now secretary to the Uni
ted States Ambassador in
Poland.
Since 1916, many have been
the explanations made for Mr..
Hughes loss Of the presiden-
cy to Mr.. Wilson.
