present. At this meeting. the name
Lincoln was adopted. oillcers elected.
committees appointed and the date
set for the institution.
As there was no State Councir in
Connecticut at that time. (the Na-
tional Council laws requiring the ex-
istence of tour or more subordinate
Councils in a State. before 'a state
charter would be granted) the appli-
cation for a'chartcr was made direct
to A. S. Redstreak. National Coun_cil
secretary, and the instit‘ion was
delegated to the oflicers of the New
York State Council, who brought the
charter with them.
The Council was institution in
Dibble's Hall. North Main street; on
Thursday evening, February 6th.
.1873. when twelve employer of the
Iron Works and six others were
present. beside a. large number or
\isitors from New York. Philadelphia,
New Haven and Hartford.
The work at, that time was done in
the initiatory degree. and although
the benefits (as well as the dues)
were less. it was optional with mem-
bers whether they went through the
degree council. >
After the Council had been institu-
ted. the following officers were in-
stalled:
Councilor—Eugene Smith.
Vic .councilor—Willlam H. Jones.
\
Recording secretary—Charles H.
Adams.
Assistant recording secretary—L. C.
Mover?
Financial secretary—R. J. Cutbill.‘
Treasurer—J. W’. Shepardson.
Inductor—C. H. Fuller.
Examiner-'el’eier Buckley.
Inside protector—Theodore S. Byx-
bte.
Outside protector—William R. Mead.
Senior lix-councilor—Thcodore 15.
Smith.
Junior Ex-counclior -- Theodore
Smith. .
At this time. in addition to other
giits presented the new council. C. H.
l’cacock of Philadelphia. presented
the council with a framed emblem
that hangs in the rvu'l' of the coun-
cilor's station and the knife with
which he had cut it from a solid
pit-cc of “‘0011.
At the first 111(01ng oi the new
council held on February 13th. 1873.
two applications for membership
wore rcctived and two weeks later
the members w..re admitted. On
May lflth. 1573 at New Haven 3
State Council was instituted of which
Eugene Smith of Lincoln Council was
elected State Councn Inductor. Trus-
tee, representative to the National
council and a member of the commit-
ices on crtdcnlials and finance.
The applications for the charters
of Butler Lodge. 1. 0. O. l~‘.. and Old
“’9“ Hook 6.”: Ladder company. which
was the first fire apparatus in South
Norwalk. were first ciiculated in Lin-
coln council's hall in 1874. by “’il-
liamsH. Jones. and the first member
of each organization was recruited
irom Lincoln Council.
On August 11th. 1874. the State
Council met in the local hall. and
three men were elected as officers.
In 1878 a number of Lincoln Coun-
oil was commissioned to institute a
council in Danbury.‘ and about a.
month later I‘ahquloquc Council was
instituted. -
In 1881 it seemed {or a little while
as if Lincoln Council would have to
go out of existence and the State
Council secretary was notified to come
and get the charter. this action being
due to the action of a number of man-
ufacturers who discharged their em-
ployees because they had decided not
to ”employ an American Mechanic."
No reason [or the action was given.
The furnishings of the lodge were
actually sold to the G. A. II. and the
lodge disbanded. However. in 1886
another charter application was filed
and on July 15th that year the council
was rc-institnted with 17 of the char-

. 3, IN
Ible attire this Winter in Russia,
where there is such a lack of cloth
and warm materials that thousands
of children are unable to out of
doors into the bitter nort ern cold
because they have nothing to wear.
Clothes are so scarce that men
and women who have always been
well dressed appear on the streets
of Petrograd or Moscow in'clumsy,
ill fitting sack cloth coats made of
material that has been wrapped
around supplies from America. And
across their chests or down their
arms are printed the original slo-
gans of the milling firms—“Made
in Minneapolis” or “Handle with
Care,” “Eventually Why Not Now"
or “Net Weight 540 Lbs.”
Cloth is so scarce that with the
treinendous fluctuation in currency
very few can afford to buy it. An
overcoat costs more than the salary
of an-averge working man for two
years. Everything the peasants
have has already been sold for food
during the famine year. d lea-
ther, mattresses, burlap, blankets,
everything available has been made
into clothing.
More than a million children scat-
tered allr over Russia and several
million adults have no clothing at all
except these sack cloth garments

from the cold. Without clothing they
are suffering also from hunger as
the only food many of them have
is served once a day at the Ameri‘
can Relief Administration food kit-
chens. To relieve this situation and
save these people from exposure
bitter suffering the American Relief
Administration has inaugurated the
clothing package remittance system
similar to the Hoover food package
that saved so many lives. Twenty
dollars sent to the American Re-
lief Administration headquarters, 42
Broadway, New York City, or to a
local bank, will equip and deliver
a package to any sufferer in Ru$sia.
Each package contains nearly 5 yards
of dark warm wool cloth, enough to
make one suit of clothing for an
adult or two garments for a child;
4 yards of lining; 16 yards of mu:-
lin, sufficient for four suits of un-
derwear; 8 yards of fiannelette suf-
ficient for two men’s shirts or.two
women’s shirt waists and buttons
and thread‘to make up these gar-
ments. Relatives or friends in
America may purchase that: pack-
ages for delivery to persons in Rus-
sia and receive assurance through
the A. R. A. of their delivery. By
a special arrangement with the. So-
viet Government, the packages will
be delivered free of duty and at the
greatest possible speed.

In 1888 the council Started the O. U.
A. M. Mite Savings Society and on
September 12th. 1901|when the town
celebrated its 250thganniversary Lin-
coln Council had the only Allegorical
float in the big procession.
State council sessions have been
held here on May 14th, 1903 and
May 14th. 1908. and the Council has
been identifid with many forward
movements. About five years ago
the name was changed from Order of
United American Mechanics to the
Order of t'nited American Men, this
being believed more fitting.
