How the Management Rxpccts to
Conduct Ir , Together With Other
Interesting Facts For Pa
trons of the Grip.
The I'ythlan Ofllcrra.
Several erroneous statements have been
made regarding the state of affairs in the
Uniform Rank K. of P. , and It has been
deemed advisable to give the facts in the
case.
Some time ago considerable dissatisfaction
existed with regard to the regimental offi
cers , and a general agreement was entered
into , in order to satisfy the sir kuights ana
to build up the dlvoront divisions , whereby-
each of thcso oftlcors agreed to tender his
resignation , thus compelling another elec
tion.
Naturally , ' the first resignation ex
pected was that of Colonel Bur-
roll , but It was not. forthcoming.
The colonel was absent from the
city without leave from brigade headquar
ters. Weeks having passed and nothing
having been heard from him , it was learned
through hearsay that ha was In Oklahoma
and Intended to malco his residence there ,
which would , of necessity , uobar him from
command of the Omaha regiment. Nothing
being hoard from him onlcially regarding
Ills resignation , it wits deemed advisable to
enforce the by-law of the regiment , which
provides that any ofllccr absenting himself
from three consecutive meetings without ,
reasonable excuse may be suspended/
Lieutenant Colonel Brown had also been
absent three consecutive meeting , ilnd bu-
ciimo I'ons'jiiuontly nubject to the same dis--
clplliic , tha command of the regiment thus
devolving on Major Donnelly.
When the action ol the regiment was for-
worded to Major General Cariinhnn for ap
proval , n protest was also sent in by the
friends of Lieutenant Colonel Urown. This
pretest disclosed the fact that the colonel had
baa no oDIclal notification of the absuncu of
tils superior ofllcor , Colonel liurroll , ulnco ho
himself had been absent from the city on
business , and the statement was aUo made
that ho had had no opportunity to offer an
oxouso to the regiment for his absence.
Taking those statements Into consldora-
lion , the major general refused to approve
the action of the reglmenf , and directed that
the two onlcora bo reinstated , on the ground
that Urown , at least , had had no opportu
nity to offer un excuse. Thu dcclsloii'in tha
case of both otlloora waa rendered because
the original action had been taken on both
cases together.
As it in undoubtedly the deslro and inten
tion of 'ho regiment to Ifuvo the ofllcaof colonel
nel declared vacant , tha present Incumbent
will bo given thn alternative of resigning or
having clmreea rrnferrai against lilin which
will probably result In n court martial.
In the iiWnco of Colonel Hurrcll , the
coiilmmiil of the regiment devolves upon
Lloutonant-Colonol Brown , who 1ms declared
his intention of building up the regiment and
Drinking it to a high degree of perfection.
Thora is no doubt the Oinuha regiment con-
talus lirat-clnss material and only needs a
little concerted action on the part of the
ofilcors in command to revive Interest in
drill , and glvo the uniform runk a etsady
and healthy growth. . . . .
Hcuunontul dross parades will bo had once
n month , and the Union Purillo band will
turn out each tlmo with tno rcgimeut , 'Jhu

Tbu resident stockholders of the Nebraska
Masonic homo arc actively engaged in in
creasing the number of subscribers for stock
in that Institution. The grand lodge , ut its
lus t cession , advised that the fund bo in
creased to ? 50,000 hcforo any nttouipt bo
made to begin operations , and that only the
Interest bo utcd. While the grand ledge , us
a matter of fact , has no immediate control
over the homo , that function resting with
the stockholders , Its wishes will bo complied
with aa far as possible. The various lodges
la the stuto have been asked to subscribe for
ono or more shares ot stock. This matter
was discussed In the grand lodge nnd the
delegates all expressed the view that ovary-
ledge would subscribe , although they did
nut feel empowered to bind their respective
lodges by an absolute promise.
The fund at present Is about $30,000 , and
it is expected that when nil the lodgi-s shall
bo heard from this will be increased to
nearly the desired point.
It Is tlio wish of the .dlrcclom that the cii-
izons of Omaha , mason * and others who fool
BO disposed , raise n fund of about S,000 or
310,001) for thu purpose of erecting the llrst
building. It Ii thought by the directors th ; > t
enough interest in tills matter exists In the
city to raise this amount without any dim-
culty , and nn active canvass will bo made
with this end m view.
It Is thought that thu homo will bu built
and conducted un the cotingo plan , although
this point has not boon dolinitely decided on.
It is the Intention to erect ono or more cot-
tugos at first , and inci-ousotho niuubnr as the
needs of the institution may require. ' .

widows and orphans they have dependent
upon tlioui , In order that the directors limy
know I iow ai any to muke provision for at the
outset.
rlho operations of the homo will probably
be confined to relieving tno necessities of
the survivors ot uioinburs ' of Nebraska
lodges , as itvould \ baritly be within the
soopo of thii ( Onus and intentions of the
btoukholders to make tlic Institution national

Hamilton C/'uunty Trouble.
A telegram was sent out from Cincinnati
last week , stating thut the A. O , U. W. wai
In danger ot disruption , owing to the action
of the supreme ledge in setting apart Hamil
ton county as n separate jurisdiction.
The facts in the matter arc as follows : For
Bpvorul years'the lodges in Cincinnati , or
Hamilton county , luivo been admitting to
membership in their bodies , a class of people
who are addicted to tbo use of intoxicating
liquors , which is directly contrary to ho
laws of the sunremu aii'l subc rMnnto lodges
and against the repented wartimes of tno
supreme lodge. As n consequence , the do > th
rate has been abnormally high. Jno ? maxi
mum limit of assessment in tlo Oh o ju 1s-
dietion is thirtv per year , hut in t'm Hum
ton county district , the death rate was s v-
onty-four in 1S35 , and ImJ u e . -i. n r ,
number for four or flvn v arpror o y.
The result has been that the Ohio jur. uic-
tion has been calling upon ino Miiruuu | ioj o
relief board for assistMinc" under the law
which piovidos tliaL all assess nnnts aver tbo
limit fixed by the snprem odai nlm'l I'D
paid by an assessment upon all jal sliclic us
of the order.
A resolution was finally referred to the
relief board instructing it to consider the
propriety of "applying the principles upon
winch the maximum rates I ? comput3d , to
different sections of the same jurisdiction. "
After duo consideration , the board recom
mended that the laws bo amended so as to
protect different sections of the same juris
diction "from the injurious results of an ex
cessive cost owing 10 a continuous excessive
iportality in ono or moro sections , " and to
iruard It from loss of tnomlier&hlp in healthy
sections la consequence of suuli oxcnssivo
cost , and providing that any Jurisdiction maybe
bo subdivided into not more than four dis
tricts by the supreme ledge ut any stated
mooting.
The report of the relief board was adopted
nnd the la\vs wen : so amended by a vote of
251 ayes and 32 nays.
A resolution was then Introduced , declar
ing It to bo for the good of tlio order that the
jurisdiction of Ohio bo subdivided Into two
districts , ono to consist of the lodges and
members nf Hamilton county , and tlio other
to comprise tne remainder of the jurii > di -
tion. The rate of assessment in the two
districts was fixed us'follows : In the Hum- ,
lltor. county district , 55 ; la tbo other dis
trict , 1 > 8.
This icsolutlou was adopted by the follow
ing vote : Ayes 'J I , nays 05.
It was stated In the supreme ledge that
this action would huvo a tendency to
strengthen the order outside of Hamilton
county , and the hopu was expressed that it
would result In weeding out the undeslraolo
material In Hnmllton county.
The rate of assessment In this district is
now ) Ked ut 5. . par annum , and oven this Is
not in any wuy extortionate , as it represents
an assessment on u policy ot $3,000. The
osbtssuioiit. rate fn the balance of the Juris
diction H lowered to 23 pur annum , which
\vll ! undoubtedly result In a baalthy growth
in that section.
In this connection , the following communi
cation on thu subject will boar reading :
Ou.uu , July 12. To the Kditor of TIIK
lii'.is : An itrtlulo appeared on Thursday In
the Omaha World , purporting to bu a
'Vpcciat'1 from Cincinnati , to the effect that
thu A. O. L > . W , was in tiimtrer of disruption
on ntxount of Hamilton county , Ohio ( In
whli-li Cincinnati is situated ) , having been
cut off and made a jurisdiction by Itself.
Now , let us have the truth of this matter.
The supreme ledge A. O. U , W. at its last
icsslon , after a long und serious dls.
cu&cion , came to the conclusion
that , owing to tbo uaso manner
punitatcil In by the Cincinnati lodges of tak
ing in undeslrablo material , ntuithoy haven't
neglected several warnings on the subject ,
Hamilton county should bo made pay tor its
own inulseretlonland its own losses. This ,
inutoad of being un injury to the order , is
really the strongest point thut can bo urged
In its favor , The laws of the oriler nro dis
tinct and specific as to who shall bo admitted
to membership , and If any ono city or dis
trict persists in willfully disobeying and dis
regarding such laws , surely It is but just that
they should pay the penalty. The fact Is
that the whisky atomcnt unfortunately in tbo
past obtained control ia Hamilton county ,
and It Is now one of the strong points oj the
A. O. U. W , that anyone engaged in the
liquor 'business Is ineligible to membership
la the ordor. It is , however , almost Impossi
ble to get rid of a member as long as he con-
tlnucs to keep himself la good standing and
the saloon element in that county is making
the most of this condition of affairs ,

To the Editor of Taa B ; The

of ability to state facts as they are , even
when the facts have been , for years , a mat
ter of recorJ. In its Juno issue it makes this
ramnrlrable statement : "The supreme lodge

yj srs inco Iowa was represented in the na-
tii ml A. O. U. W. council , and the prospects
are that it will bo at least suvon more before
Hho will ag-ain be represented. "
if that paper meaus to say that the body
which it represents is the state of Iowa , or
that ic represents , in. the remotest degree ,
di cc'ly or indirectly , .the order in Iowa , it
ia i weilsiy that it will bo not only seven but
u-voiity times seven , and still fail of sccur-
I g a representation in the supreme ledge
T10 body which tlua paper represents did
bell ' { j once to the order , but proved recre
ant t ) the trust Imposed m them , violated
iiiuu- obligations and suffered the penalty of
suspension , seven years ago , since which
time u has boon debarred the opportunity of
again dishonoring the supreme ledge as it
hud formerly done. On the other hand the
A. O. U. W. fraternity in Iowa has been leg-
ulnrly represented in the supreme lodge
every year , nnd at the last session ot that
body In Omaha , received the honor of hav
ing ono of her citizens elected supreme mas
ter workman , the highest gift in its power to

that paper , was not represented.A .

of the sidewalk. The head was sur
rounded by lighted candles , belled corn ,

seeing the money took it in charge , and
shortly after Ofllcer Davis came along

Union Carpenters Demand a Com
pliance With Their Rules.
CONTRACTORS MUST COMPLY.
Or Thorn Will Be n Strike The MUII
Want Better Hours and Better
1'ny The Plumbers' Strike
- -Labor Notes.
AVnnt Bettor Treatment.
A strike of all the can > cntors in the city is
imminent. The union rules call for nlno
hours' work a day at 30 cents au hour , and ,
In cuso extra time is put in , 45 cents an hour
for such extra tlmo. The carpenters claim
that many contractors in the city nro forcing
their men .to work ton hours and paying
thorn only UO cents for the extra time , and
others still are only paying 27H cents per
hour throughout the day. The unions have
taken the matter In hand , and within a few
days will innko a demand upon the bosses ,
but whether that demand shall bo for a com
pliance witn the rules as they now stand ,
nine hours a day at 30 cents and 45 cents for
extra time , or for eight hours a day and nine
hours' pay , has not yet boon de
termined , but is now being care
fully considered by the supreme council
and the different unions. If the journeymen
make a demand , they declare that they will
cither got what they want or strike. They
claim that out of the 1,301) ) carpenters in the
city , over one-half belong to the dlfferout
unions and a nutllclcnt number are controlled
by them to bring the number of men who
would walk out In thu event a strlko was
ordered , up to fully two-thirds of all the car-
pouters employed in the oity. "There are n
good many carpenters in the city , " said Mr.
Tuft , n prominent member and un ofllcer of
Union 71 , "who were driven out of Iowa by
the dullness caused by prohibition , and these
have como to Omaha. They are , for the
most part , a class of men who wont Join tlio
unloiiH , and , la the case wo make a stand , It
will bo with these men thut we will bo ob
liged to contend , but as wo have a
large majority und the best , financial
backbit ; . I can sco but ono result , and that
Is victory for us , " In tbo event of a strlko
the local unions expect tbo aid of the union
men in South Omaha , notwithstanding the
fact that their rules now provldo for ton
hours n day at 80 cents , The union men say
that the carpenters employed by Mr. Hose-
water , personally , on Tun Jim : building- are
the only ones in the city , who now receive 45
cents an hour for extra time.
" .
The journeymen plumbers' strilto has boon
on nine weeks to-night , and there Is still no
indication of a settlement. The bosses ,
seemingly , arc but iHUlo troubled about the
situation and declare that they are doing
very well , indoeit. A canvass was made of
the principal shops .vestordny and the bosses
reported plumbers und gastlttors at worlc as
follows ! Jolm Howe 7 , Hussoy & Day 8 ,
Milton Free 2 , James Hamuclu 4 , John Han-
nigan 4. Graham Purlc U ,
Tlio bassos also declare that thnro are as
many non-union mtui employed ir. the city as
there are union zuon , and that tha ctrlkors
cannot affect them or Induce them to leave
worlc. The journeymen , on the other hand ,
declare the entire statement of ttio bosses as
to the number of men they l\avo \ employed ,
and that thcro are as many uou-unlon men
in the city , false.
* .
"Wo i have the bosses when wo want
them , " bald ono of a knot of the strikers ,
gathered near their hull yesterday morning.
'There Is not a day goes by , " ho contlnuml ,
but what wo tuko men away from thorn ;
during this strike wo have increased the
membership in the union considerably , by
initiating non-union men whom the bosses
brought from the east to work for them.
The men they have ut work now are mostly
Incompetent jobturs. "
* *
It Is possible that there is a misunder
standing as to the causu of grelvanco now
existing , The bosses § uy they donotrofuee to
recognize the journeymen's union that they
bcliovo the union to bo a good thing , as far
as it goes toward maintaining wages
and securing suitable hours but they
refuse to bo governed by thq
uuiun rules In forming which they had no
part. Thorn is a general impresstpn abroad
that the right kind of arbitration committee
might succeed in bringing about a settle
ment of the difficulties. Quito a number of
tbo original strikers have recently received
employment in the union shops.

The manager of ono of the leading employ
ment offices in the city was asked yesterday
as to the demand for hired help. "There Is
but very little just now for men , " was the
reply , ' "but I can handle any number of girls
willing to do housework nnd cooking. I
think that without doubt Omaha is the host
city in the west for girls wbo want to do do
mestic work to como to. I could plac ono
hundred moro girls to-day than I have on
hand at wages running from & ) to ? 5 a week.
Girls wbo have worked m the city a while
take a strong dislike to going out
Into the suburbs , and families living
out from the business centers must nay from
ono to two a week more to girls than these
living closer ID , and even then It is difficult
to got them to go. Tnoro Is a gentleman sit
ting in the ante-room now , with no ono in his
family but himself and wife , who has offered
f5 a week to a. dozen different girls , but can
got none to go with him , all because ho lives
about throe miles from the postofUco. But
there is a steady demand for girls at good
wages and In good places. "

It-Is not true , as Las been published in
