THE OMAHA DALLY BEE EEN PAGES, 11 THEWEEK IN THELODGE ROOM. Pythisn Memorial Meoting in Honor of Dr, Dinsmoor, ~TRUE TEMPLARISM EXEMPLIFIED, Chicace Knights Voluntecr to Yield Tlomselves to the Surgeon’s Knife to Bave a Brother's Lifo—News and Notes. A memorial service in honor of the late Dr. C. M. Dinsmoor was held in Pythian hall in the Paxton block Wednesday evening. The doctor was an_enthusiastic member of N braska lodge No, 1, and was also surgeon on the staff of Brigadier General Dayton. Dur- Ing his lifetime he was a zealous Pythian and an ardent supporter of the uniform rank, The meoting Wednesday evening was un- der the auspices of Nebraska lodge and the uniform rank. The hall was appropriately decorated for the solemn occasion, the char- ters on the wall being draped in black and the station pedestals beinz covered with black and white. The altar was tastefolly draped in black and white cloth and crepé, and on the open bible rested a wreath of im- mortelles, The swords, which usually lie crossed upon the holy book when the lodye is in session, were resting at one side of the altar, draped in black, About the altar chairs were arranged to form a doubie trian- gle. On gne of the chairs were placed the sword and helmet of the deceased brothur, 1 The members of the Uniform Rank pre: were in full umform and occupied seats “@tie side of the triangle and members of the lodge mot in uniform occupiod th seats, Among those present as spe were Colonel Harvey of Boston, on the b gade staff, and Mrs,” H: A number of the wives of members were also present, During the progrese of the oxercises brief sses were made by P aa Chan- cellor Goss, Dean Whitmarsh, Colonel Harvey and Mr. Isaac Adams, a member of praska lodge, At the conclusion of these addresses the o past the sof ever- Tho real spirit of Knightly chivalry filustrated at the conclave of St. Bernard commandary, No. 35, of Chicago, held last Wednesday evening, better than ever befors, when 150 of the mombers offered to yieid themselves to the surgeon’e knife for the purpose of saving, 1t possible, the life of an aged and honored officer of the commandery, says the Chicago Times, Sir John O. Dick- erson, whose name is a *household word’ in overy Masonio body in the city and state, was recently prostrated by a cancerous growth on his leg, which rendered nm totally unfit for business aud unable to discharge the dutiesas recorder of St. Bernard com- mandery, an office which he had held for many years, The members of the comman- dery insisted on an operation being per- forined, and Dr. Leonard, who is a member of the' commandery, and Dr. Fenger, a specialist in such cases, undertook the opera- tion, which proved successful, so far as re- moving the tumor was concerned. But in orderto heal thewound it was found, after numerous experiments, that only a transfer of sufficient human skin trom beaithy bodies to cover the wound would effect tho necessary cure, This condition of affairs was roported ja ke commandery at i rogular con- claygeome weeks ago, and 1t was at once wGjosed that the members of the comman- dery, to the number of 150 or 200, if required, should each contribute a portion of skin, making in the aggrogate enough to cover the wound. A personal civcular was sent to each member of the commandery last Saturday, in which the eminent commander, Jesse Mead, saysi ‘Our brother has made a gallant and he- roie struggle for life, has undergone several surgical operations, and has now been con- g:nudlol.\ln bed for nearly three months very means kuow to science has been em- ployad save one. His aiscase has been con- qGuered, but there remains an operation yet to be performed which his eminent surgeon, Dr, Fenger, states will save his life and re- store him to us 1n_perfect health. Thero is no way tosave him but for his brothren to do it. One hundred and fifty men must come forward and help bim or kiis life is lost. It is the earnest request of the eminent com- mauder that every member of this commana- ery be present at” this meeting to hear a re- port of tho case and assist in carrying out a plan to render this necessary service. You will reconize the fact that this is no_idle matter, but one of serious import, and one ho liko of which has_never before appealed to abody of men or Masons, and its success will go upon record as one of the most noble and commendable deeds of love and affection ever done by mau, and restore onr brother to us and his family.” In resporso to” this appeal the asylum of the commandery at Corinthian nhall was crowded with templars last Wedn, oven- ing, and when the commander stated the ob- ject of the meeting the volunteers were Jrompt and numerous, It has been decid that the operation will tuke place on the LEmergeucy hospital Sunday, January 18, un der the direction of Drs. Leonard and Fen- ger. A. 0. U, W. vz S, R. Patten, P. G. M. W., installed the following oficers of Fremont lod, week: 8. L. Cleland, master workman; J. ‘W. Forbes, foreman; H. C.

Whatever else may be said in fayor of Masonie institutions in Illinois one thing 1s settled and certain, and that is the Prairie state has the leading Masonic veteran associ- ation of the world. A rather novel Mesonic complication has arisen in some of the eastern jurisdictions which will furnish a subject for Masonic diplomatic correspondents in the near future, The French Masons have alveady established several lodges in Now York and Pennsylvania under charters granted airectly by the Grand Orient of France, and it is said that the work of orgauizing these lodges is to be pushed with vigor in this country. It is not necessary that applicants for membership in theso lodges should havea belief ina supreme being. Hope lodge, No. 29, of Nemaha City, has adopted the plan of preserving the photo- graphs of itsinembers among its archives and a large album has been securea for that purpose.

In 1850, at the triennial session of the grand encampment held in Chicago a design was adopted for a national standard of the order, but from that time to this no #reps were taken to procure one by that body. /‘t the session of the grand encampwent held Wuhlutwu in October, 1850, George M. Moulton, then only deputy grand commander of lllinois, was signally but deservedly hon- N m"h:“belnl wppointed grand standard the grand encampment of the United States, Tho fact that he was a bearer without a standard naturally struck the distinguished templar as rather peculiar and he concluded to provide a national stan- dard. The standard, which is unique, sug- gestive and gorgeous affair, has boen pre. sented to John P. S, Gobin, grand master of the grand encampment, and by him accepted on behalf of that body,and for the first time in tha history of tiwe great gathering of templars at the triennial meetings a banner representing the entire order will be carried in line at Denver in 184 K P Major General Carnahan has just an- nounced the following appointments: The Rev.

Reports are coming in rapidly from the dis- trict deputies all over the state showi marked improvement in the order in tious, A new system of appointing deputies had obtained with the new administration and a deputy has been appointed for each lodge. The plan has been found to wori ad- mirably as each deputy has only his own lodge to look after instead of having several lodges under his care as has formerly been the custom, As aresult all the feeling of jealousy between lodges, because one hap- pened to have a deputy among its members, has disappeared.

Employes in Manufacturing Establishments Prefer it to the Wage System. PARTNERSHIP OF LABOR AND CAPITAL. The Cooks' Union—Active Englncers ~Painters and Decorators—Let- ter Carriers' Ball Local and General Labor News. Ina number of the manufacturing est lishments in this city the employes are try ing toinduce the employers to adopt the plan of profit sharing instead of paying wages as under the present system. That is, the mea put their labor against the capital of the firm and thus become partners. N. 0. Nelson of St. Louis, who runs one of the largest manufacturing establishments in the west, has tried the plan, and in speaking of its workings, to his employes, says: “Five years ago we bogan sharing profits between capital and wages, Thers had never been any trouble between us, The houso has been prosperous since its foundation. Its policy was satisfactory to you and us. We had, ~ therofore, no busincss reasons for adopting the ' co-onerative system. We did not then, nor have wo since, impressed any conditions or restrictions, We have not ~asked longor hours nor harder work, We never inquired whether you belonzed to unions or favored protection or free trade. Most of you under- stand the method of division, but for new- comers it may reiter- ate it. The bus directors and officers, like any_other corporation.

During the tive years in which the system has been in operation we have paid 43 per cent in dividends on wages, besides the considerable amounts paid out by the provident committee and the amount of surplus fund accumulated to meet further contingencies. Those of you who have taken all your dividends in stock have received, as interest and dividends thereon, 64 per cent on tho first year’s amouut, 47 per cent on the second, 32 por cent on the' third, 16 per cent on the fourth, besiaes compound dividends on the first three.

Tailors' Troubles Ended. Forseveral weeks the manufacturing tail- ors of New York and the members of the tailors’ unious have been at war. The tail- ors have been locked out, and they have in turn boycotted the manufacturers, Matters had reached the poiut where many of the largest shops had closed down and were rap- idly becoming bankrupt. The journeymen were in eveu a worse condition, as they were out of work and_their childven were crying for bread. At last the difficulty has beon settled, by the signing of the following agree- ment by the clothing manufacturers and the executive board of the National Tailors’ as- sociation : Clothing manufacturers, called employer membors, and clothing cutters, 3, bushelmen and apprentices, 'called em- ploye members, shall form an association for lo protective aud benefit purposes. The words ‘“employer members” aro intended to include the firm and each partner thevein. Where partnership exists, the firm only,and not each partncr, must pay the dues of employer mombers} but_oa shall be ontitled to_ the privileg ts of members hereinaf- ter provided for, in like manner as if such firin was composed of but one person, For every cight employe m>mbers, on the ave age, ‘in the employe of the firm, but one em- ployer member of such firm shall be entitled to the benefits hereinafter provided for, Em- ploye members of this association shall have preference over other laborers, not wmembers, by which is meant that employer members shall give worls to members of this ussocia- tion, if equally skilled, in preference to la- borers not member Benefits shall be accorded members to alle- viate the conditions of thosa to whom sick- ness or misfortune may come, to protect them in thew just iights ' without in- fringing on the just rights of others, to make sucli provisions as will obtain for'them de- cent burial, aud to relieve the fawilies of members in distress, 1t shall also be the aim and object of th ciation to croate a healthy relation between the employer and employe, for which purpose all differences appertaining to trado matters shall be ro- ferred to the arbitration board, to be known as tho executive committee, which shall con- sist of six members, three of whom shall be employer members ‘and_three of whom shall be employe members, They shall decide all matters brought before them, and their do- cision shall be final, In ease no decision can be arrived at by them they shail have the power to select a seventh person, whose decision shall be binding. 1f either parties— namely, the emplover or employe members — shall refuse to ablde by the décision of this board, or shall interfore with the decision of this board, they shall forfeit the guaranteo fund in favor of the parties abiding by the decision, and shall also lose their member- ship in the association. The guarantee fund shall be established on the following plyn: The employer member shall pay 50 cents per month for each mer- ber of this association in his employ on the last day of the month, the dues of the em- ploye members shall be 50 cents per month, all of which shall be deposited to the credit of the guarantee fund with the treasurer. All current expenses shall be charged to the guarantee fund. The following benefits and payrents shall be charged to the guaran- teo fund: In caseof sickness the weekly benefits shall be 810 for fourteen weelks or longer, at the option of the board of direc- tors, In the case of death, the heirs shall be paid £00. In case of the death of a wife of a member, the member shall be paid 0. Mem- bers who fail toabide by the decision of the arbitration board must be expelled oy the as- sociation, and shall forfeit their claims and Tights to the benefits of the guarantee fund. The Cook's Unlon, While it is not generally known to the pub- lic, one of the most prosperous labor organiz- tions in the city, is that maintained by the male cooks of the hotels and restaurants, Something like two years ago a few of the cooks of the Paxton and Millard hotels met one evening and discussed the advisability of organizing, For the next few days they put in their spare moments visiting other estab- lishments where cooks were employed, andat the end of three weeks, fifty-nine had sub- scribed as charter members. Corrcspona- ence was at once opened with the National cooks’ assembly, that has its headquarters in New Yori, and authority was granted to go on with the work. The originators of the movement then commenced to hustle and soon increased the membership to 200, where it has since remained. Sessions are held in the spacious hall on Douglas, between Twelfth And Thirteenth streets every Suunday after- noon, This society, unlike all others, has but one object’ in view, and that is g supply the trade with first class cooks, "The method of doing this the hatels and restaurants and whenever a vacancy occurs, they work one of their mem- bers into the positfon: TH this they have been so successful, that whenever the mana- ger of a hotel or restaurdnt wants a first or second cook, instead of golng to an employ- men t agency,he merely turns the matter over to the man in charge of tho kitchen and in & short timo the necessary help is supplied.
