,NEW HAVEN, Oct. 19.~——Consldera-
tion of the reports of the grand officers
formed the chief business of the open-
lngsesslon of the grand lodge of Con- t
necticut. Ancient Order of United
Workman, in this city, today. Partic-
ular interest was manifested In the re-
port of Asaph H. Hale, grand masher
workman. who made an appeal for
more funds and more workers for ad-
vancing the interests of the order In
this. state. Mr. Hale’s report said:
“Another year has passed and let.
us hope that its experiences have been
profitable to us; certainly they have
been plentiful and varied, and the ice-
scns they have or should have taught
us are invaluable.
“Perhaps the most important of
these lessons is the one In regard to
the age of members. Too much care
cannot be taken In regard, to having
the age of‘candldatcs. upon their ad-
mission to our order stated with ab-
solute correctness. The errors made
have caused beneficiaries and ofiicers
of both supreme and grand lodges as
well as subordinate lodges. an almost
infinite amount of trouble.
"Another lesson that has been om-
phasized is the futility of the attempt
to retain membership in our order by
members who engage in prohibited
occupations, more particularly the trai~
do In intoxicating liquors. Our lawn
croplaln in this matter as are the
laws of most fraternal societies, and
attempts to retain as members those
engaging in this business can result
in no good to any. and is bound to
cause much trouble to many.
“The number of deaths from Sep-
tember 1. 1904. to September I. 1905,
was 107, and the amount raised by
our twelve assessments was sufficient
to pay these claims and our reserve
already accumulated amount to more
than the entire amount of our unpaid
claims today,
"Financially the year has been a
success. By that i mean that we
stand hotter financially than we did
a year ago. But in some respects the
year has been a failure. We have neg-
lected to grasp opportunities and have
lost a year that should have been
profitable. There have been no work-
ers in the field to gather the harvest
that should have been ours. The .sol-
smn affirmation made by representa-
tives'at the lust grand lodge session
that our membership could be depend-
ed upon to do the extension work, of
the order have proved unwarranted;
and the equally solemn promises that
certain lodges would db their part
have not been kept. Little or no
works of this kind has been done. i
have conscientiously tried to carry out
the instructions of the lust grand. and
have conducted the business as oco
nominally as possible, but i fool now
as I did then. that our policy was is
mistaken one. and that we could not
afford to economize in certain dircc-
tiona that were proposed.
' "i will particularize two economics
socailod that I consider after a year's
trial to have been very disastrous.
These worn the cutting of the appro-
priation for district deputies and the
failure to provide funds for extension
work. Had it. not been for appropria-
tions for extension work in the past.
we would have no lodges in the state
of Connecticut, and consequently no
grand lodge and many of the thousands
who are now looking to us for their
protection, would be unprotected.
"There is an economy that ruins
those practicing it. The past your
we have lost two lodges, and several
other lodges are in very poor condi-
tion. These lost lodges could have
been saved and the weak parts mater-
ially strengthened had we provided
means to keep an agent In the field to
attend to this branch of oilr work."
James A. Knox. of New Haven. the
grand recorder. reported a total luemv
berallip of 6.256 on August 81, 1905.
as compared with 7.232 one your ago.
There were 2.048 suspensions. ion
deaths and ii withdrawals during the
year. Fifty-one persons were initiated.
ten joined by card and there were i.i3l
reinstatements. Twelve assessments
amounting to a total of 6242.285 were
called during the year.
The report of James R. Sloane. of
Meriden. grand receiver, for the fiscal
year ended August 31. 1906. showad
the condition of the various funds as
follows: Cash on hand. beneficiary
fund, 03.635.52; general fund, 801.13;
guaranty fund. accuses: interest
fund. $70.42; total cash on hand. 37.-
135.60.
The finance committee. consisting
of Charles F. Curtis, E. ('liurencn Bis:
sell and Edward E. Mix, in their re
port declared that the need of more
strenuous extension work was never so
apparent as at present. ilntil the pol
capits tax from the subordinate lodges
was fixed. the committee felt it use»
less to make recommendations for its
expenditures. The death claims paid
during the year amounted to 0168..
531.00,
Dr. Frank w. Wheeler. of New Hav-
en, the grand medical examiner» re.
ported that. ill new applications for
lmomhorship had been received during
the year. This number he declared
‘io be "far below what‘it would have
been had the pledges made by the
representatives at the last grand lodge
session been fulfilled. 'l‘hey refused
to appropriate any money for grand
lodge work and In lieu thereof made
solemn promises that they each and
every one would work as individuals
to build up the order. Not a single
one of these promises has been kept
As a result the order. youss members
and your families as beneficiaries. have
been injured. As an experiment the
method has proved a fist failure.

It was in 190%. “if it does on the
number of assessments would not be
