THE EVENING STAR, WASHiNGTON, D. C. TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1924. " FEARS DECADENGE OF FRATERNALISM Head of Benefit Insurance Congress Here Warns of Possible Dissolution. Attacking the “fundamental weak- nesses” of fraternalism with a bold- ness that surprised the National Fra- ternal Congress, in session at the Raleigh Hotel, its president, W. R. Shirley, in his 2nnual address today. declared that “gradual decadence and ultimate dissolution” faced frater- nalism unless societies took the “nec- eps to correct them. The fact,” said President Shirley, “that fraternal societies have placed themselves in direct competition with the commercial insurance concerns has led to a thoroughly organized and nation-wide movement to tax frater- nal societies. “This movement, supported by pow- erful and resourceful enemies of the fraternal benefit system and backed by almest unlimited funds for _|h€ purpose of stimulating opposition and obtaining adverse legislation, constitutes a grave menace to fra- ternalism and must be fought with all the energy and resources at our command if it is to be defeated Linex Not Always Drawn. *“So long as our societies were weak and wrote a relatively small volume of business no attention was paid 10 us But when our membership zrew into millions and our volum. of insurance ran into billions, when the supremacy of the old-line in- surance companies was once reall challenged, then came the ruthles. effort to embarrass, cripple and, if possible, destroy societies. fraternal “Failure of fraternal societies to work unselfishly, whole heartedly and eympathetically together has mini- mized their prestige, influence and power not only for constructive build- ing and development, but for pur- poses of defense. We have permitted petty jealousies, small personal and EToup inter s to drive us apart, etir up suspicions and engender bit- ter hatreds. The result has been a grave weakening of our forces.” Urges Campaign of Education. President Shirley said that the fra- ternal societics must embark on a campaign of education to renew pub- ‘lic confidence, take immediate steps to prevent antagonistic legislation to tax fraternals, harmonize any serious ‘differences that may exist among the societies and work out plans for vitalizing local lodge units, What he declared was his most im- portant recommendation was for the establishment of central headquar- ters for the National Fraternal Con- gress. These headquarters for the centralization of national fraternal work, he thought, should be located in Chicago or some ther city near the center of national population. E. F. Colladay Welcomes Delegates. An appeal to the 300 delegates, representing organizations in every State in the union, to help obtain suffrage for the District of Columbia was made by Edward F. Colladay, president of the Board of Trade, in his address of welcome to the convention. Mr. Colladay pointed out that the delegates each exercised the right of citizenship. “We do not,” he declared. Explaining the amendment now before Congress to the Constitution, which would give to the District voting representation in national affairs, the speaker asked delegates to take up the matter With their representatives and SPECIAL NOTICES.

Lack of street lighting and sewer improvements, as well as inadequate public school facilities, are hindering the development of Manor Park, a special committee of the Manor Park Citizens' Association has advised Dis- trict and school officials. The committee pointed out that the failure to improve the streets and extend the water mains in the com- munity has retarded building opera- tions, while many parents are plan- ning to keep their children out of school this year unless better ac- commodations” are provided. Principal among the requests of the committee were the erection of at least one portable school building on the site at 5th and Sheridan streets, the cut- ting through of Sheridan etreet from 3d to 8th street, at 4th and 5th streets from Rittenhouse street to Takoma Park, of Tucker and Whit- tier streets from 3d street to Georgia avenue and the installation of water mains on streets upon which building operations are planned. An eight-room school building will be crected at 5th and Sheridan streets, it was explained by the committee, but it will not be ready for occupancy before September, 1926." The portable building s desired by the opening of the schools in September in order to avoid the necessity of the children of the com- munity traveling long distances to the schools of contiguous neighborhoods. The committee which urged the im- provements was composed of Ernest H. Pullman, president of the association; H. S. Bryant and Mrs. Earl B. Smith. HUNT SEA ELEPHANTS.
