B. OF R.T. GROWS DESPITE LOSSES ! SUFFERED IN WAR! Loyalty of Working Man to Flag Shown by Presi dent Lee Special to the Telegraph Columbus, 0., June s.—Loyalty of the members of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen in the war was given much emphasis by Presi dent William G. Lee in his annual report yesterday at the closing ses sion of the order. He said in part: "Some people have said that labor -unions were opposed to Government, were opposed to law and order, and would not be loyal to the colors. Records which are now history dis prove this. I am proud of this one fact, that never again can anyone justly make that accusation against tne working man, and especially the railroad man. Never again can it be claimed that labor unions will not do Ihe!r full duty. In addition to the thousands of members who were wil ling to give their all. the Brother hood purchased $1,000,000 of Lib erty bonds, and this at a time when the epidemic of influenza raged throughout the country, resulting in more deaths of .our members than resulted from the war. All this was done without a dollar of special assessment. Railroad Men in War Since the last convention 15,166 Brotherhood men gave up the oc cupation of railroading and chose that of fighting the enemy. Of this number the Brotherhood has paid 505 death and disability claims, and there is to-day sleeping in foreign soil 468 heroes from the ranks of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train men. The total membership in United states and Canada is 186,000. Of this number Pennsylvania has 104 lodges with a membership of 30,000 and Harrishurg has four lodges with a membership of 2,000. Finances In (iood Shape The finances of the Brotherhood are in excellent condition. The re ceipts for the triennial period from all sources were $14,500,395. and dis bursements $13,1,849, leaving a net gain of $1,308,546. During this peri od the Brotherhood has paid in death and disability claims 6,289, amounting to $9,351,116, averaging for each claim $1,473. This is a gain of 1,014 in claims and SBB per claim as compared with the previous three years, or from 1913 to 1916. On December 31. 1918, the total membership was 181,446, showing a net gain since 19'15 of 48,226, °oi"£l" ing an insurance amounting to $252- 248,600. The total financial stand ing of the Brotherhood is $4,808,- 3 4 4.45. From this amount will be deducted the cost of the present convention, which is not onß the longest hut under present conditions, costliest in the history of the Brotherhood, the amount being near ly $400,000. , a , Changes were made in rates of pay on recommendation of the Sal ary committee. These changes "ill be followed until the next conven tion. Each convention fixes salaries of officials and rates of pay for the delegates. The salaries fixed fol ' >TV neJegrotes Get Increased Pay President. $14,000 per year, with $6 per day expenses when away from home; assistant president, SB,OOCb and $6 per day; vice-presidents, $7,000, and $6 per day; general secretary treasurer. SIO,OOO. and $6 per day: editor, "The Trainmen," SB,OOO, and . $6 per day, chief clerk to the presi dent and the secretary-treasurer, $4,200. A fiat increase of SSO a month was given to all other grand lodge em ployes. The board of trustees, exe cutive board and insurance boards salaries were raised to sls per day, with $4 per day expenses, while on duty for the Brotherhood. All dep uty presidents will receive the same as the committees, sls per day, and $6 expenses. All grand lodge em ployes will in the future be given two weeks vacation during the year with full pay. The generosity in salaries does not only apply to the grand lodge, as the delegates took care of themselves as follows: All delegates and appointed officials at the convention will re ceive $lO per day salary and $4 per day expenses, with mileage to and from Columbus, at the rate of 5 cents per mile. This allowance raises the pay of delegates from $8 per day and 3 cents mileage, with no previous al lowance for expenses. New Officer* elected After a spirited contest Toronto, Canada, was selected as the place for the convention in 1922. Twelve cities, including Denver, were in the eon test and it was an all-day battle be fore the decisive battle was taken.

CHEERING HORDES AT TRACKMEET (Continued From First Page) the songs and exhiliaration of the youngsters who were prepared to root for their champions. Perhaps the greatest interest cen tered in the relays, which assumed so important function in last year's meet, for Forney and Witherspoon wore tied for first place in total points and the finish, in Forney's favor, was due to success in this event. The one disappointment to day was Forney's absence, due to the fact that the school had no trainer. Island I* Crowded As the huge crowds llockod over the bridge and emptied into the grand stands it was found that over two hundred contestants would be In the events. The heads of the Harrishurg track committee; Dr. Charles B. i Fager, Jr., chairman; V. Grant For rcr, secretary; A. Reeder Ferriday, treasurer, were on ban dto see that school children occupied the big | grandstand, while adult spectotors were accommodated on the long stands which surround the field. The I committee in charge were present in j full force, namely: W. O. Hickok, rd, Ross A. Hickok, Vance C. McCormick, Daniel M. Dull, A. H. Hull, Dr. C. B. Fager, Jr., Jack son H.

Their Flr*t Chance It was the greatest cance for a hfro to identify himself, for, unlike Tech High, which boasts some na tional stars, the grammar schools have no contestant this year who stands head and shoulders above all. The school children banked in great multitude as they filed into the grounds on the big stand. Each school flaunted one big banner and many small ones, so that the scene was, as the saying goes "colorful." V. O. Hickok predicted that some records would be damaged by the ar ray of talent which showed up. Fol lowing were the schools in the con | test: Cameron, Shimmell, Willard, Hamilton, Boas, Webster.

The spell | ing contest proved to be one of the l most popular attractions at the last picnic and if one cannot get away with "tic-dou-lou-reux" he shoul train up for this event. In order not to drag out the spelling it has been de cided that each building shall be represented in the theater by the three best spellers. Superintendents are herewith requested to submit to the Telegraph office for publication, not later than June 14. the names of the three selected in each school. The selection may be made either by ap pointment or by preliminary spelling matches. It should also be noted,that only the seventh and eighth grades will be allowed to enter this compe tition. There are to be prizes galore for track and held victories, the value totaling over $250. The Telegraph Cup, now held by the Harris Build ing. which is to be given to the school winning it three times, will again be competed for, and will be presented to the building winning the greatest number of points. C. OF C. TO HOLD ANNUAL FROLIC (Continued From First Page) of the committee which secured so many new members during the year, has been named as chairman of the general committee in charge of ar rangements, and as chairman, he is promising many good things for the "tired business men" who will make the trip to the Colonial Club. Complete details of the prograni are lacking, and those in charge are very taciturn about disclosing their plans. "Wait and see," they say with a mysterious smile that seems to forbode that there will be very much to see indeed, when the proper time comes, and the program lie gins. These workers, who are get t'ng up the stunt light shy of re porters; they won't say a word about what they are planning for the Chamber membership. Enough has been learned, however, to state with authority that the trip will be made ,,° c ' oc ' c ' n the afternoon, that "eats' will be served in a way con ducive to good-fellowship, and that the entertainment furnished will not make any one wish he had stayed away.
