DELO NA POLJU f MEHKEGA PREMOGA USTAVLJENO
Roosevelt priporoča nadaljevanje pogajanj
UNIJA RAZGLASILA PRAZNIK
\
Chicago. 1. apr—Produkcija na polju mehkega premoga je bila ustavljena sinoči ob enajstih (čikaški čas), ko je 450,000 rudarjev, članov unije United Mine Workers of America, odložilo orodje. . V Hem številu je uključenih 39,000 rudarjev v II-linoisu. •,
Predsednik Roosevelt je, ko je bil informiran, da so se pogajanja med reprezentanti unije in operatorji na konferenci v New Yorku razbila, takoj apeliral na obe grupi, naj jih obnove. "Nepretrgano obratovanje premogovnikov je važnega pomena," se glasi telegram, katerega je predsednik poslal Ezru Von Hornu, predstavniku operatorjev. "Nadaljujte pogajanja do zadovoljiveg4 sporazuma. Pričakujem porodila od Steel-mana pred polnoŠjo."
Dr. John R. Steelman, član spravnega odbora federalnega delavskega departmenta, ki je posegel v konflikt, je dejal, da so se predstavniki rudarjev in senatorji odzvali Hooseveltove-mu pozivu in sa izrekli za obnovo pogajanj. Upanje je. da bo zastoj danes zloniljen.
Danes je rudarski praznik in rudarji proslavljajo 43-leti osemurnika. 1 John L. Lewis, predsednik unije UMWA, je že prej izjavil, da bo ustavitev dela aktualna, ne tehtnična, kljub prazniku. Ko je bila konferenca zaključena včeraj po štirinajstih dnevih neuspešnih pogajanj, je Lewis instruiral rudarje, naj ostanejo doma, dokler ne bo sklenjjna nova pogodba.
Rudarji zahtevajo zvišanje mezde na $7 na dan, letne počitnice s plačo in garancijo, da bo sleherni rudar delal najmanj dvesto dni v letu. Pravkar po-tečena pogodba je določala plačo $6 na dan na severu in $5.60 na jugu.
V Iliinoisu, kjer produkcija mehkega premoga znaša $47,-600,000 ton letno, se je 15,000 rudarjev, članov progresivne unije ADF, pridružilo akciji unije UMWA-CIO. Vsi 80 odložili orodje.
rancija obdolžena kršenja blokade
Parniki dovaža jo bojni material Nemčiji
London. 1. apr.—Eden Izmed štirih francoskih parnikov, za pletenih v incidentu, ki se je pripetil zadnjo nedeljo, ko so angleške bojne ladje skušale u-staviti te parnike, je bil naložen z bojnim muterialom, namenjenim Nemčiji, je včeraj izjavil minister za ekonomsko vojno. Izjava je sledila obdolžitvi v 11 stu Daily Telegraph, da skuša admiral Jan Darlan, podpredsednik francoske vlade, zabiti zagozdo med Anglijo in Ameriko s protestom, ki ga je poslal v Washington, N. C. Nakana se mu ne bo posrečila, ker v Ameriki vedo, da se je izrekel za sodelovanje z Nemčijo in ji obljubil, da jo bo zalagal z bojnim materialom. Francija skuša kršiti blokado pod pretvezo, da njeni parniki ne vozijo bojnega materiala, temveč živila.
Angleški minister je odkril evidenco, du Petainova vlada igra vlogo v prilog osišču. Od 16. januarja do 1. marca je Nemčija dobila iz neokupirane Francije velike zaloge bojnega materiala. Ta je uključeval 30,000 ton baksita, 10,000 ton aluminija, 8000 ton magnezija, 10,000 ton alžirske volne, 2200 čllejskega nitrata in 60,000 ton sadja. Dalje je Nemčija dobila 5800 glav goveje živine in 105,000 galonov gasolina.
Vicky. Francija, L apr,~Pa-tainova vlada je naslovila pro-Angliji zaradi napada as francoske parnike na Sredozemskem morju. MornariČni minister pravi, da parniki niso bili naloženi s kavčukom in drugim bojnim materialom, ki naj bi ga dobili sovražniki Anglije. Tovori so uključevali živila in druge potrebščine, namenjene francoskim prebivalcem.

koliko spremembe, se bo prihod- di glede združenja društev v nja seja čikaške federacije vrši-j svrho izvolitve delegatov za pri-i„ u	ChifMi/u »ri hodu 10 konvencijo, ln medae-
la 3. aprila v So. Chicagu, br Johnu M. Tomekelnu na ](K)63 A ve. N. Pričetek ob 7 30 zvečer. Po seji bo nekoliko prigrizka. Udeleže naj se gotovo vsi zastopniki in vabljeni so tudi drugi člani, kajti vsak član in članica ima pravico priti na fe-dcracijsko sejo.
In je zaželjivo, da pridejo tudi drugi člani ln slišali boste, kako velik') delo vrši federacija v korist članstva in jednote. Nekateri še vedno mislijo, da je federacija nekakšno peto kolo in se posmehujejo, namesti) da bi prevzeli delo ali šli zastopnikom in uradnikom na roko. Na tej seji boste slišali tudi poročilo e» ksekutivnega odbora, kako deluje za narodni dan SNPJ, ki se letos vrši v Chicagu. Člani či kuške federacije pridno delujejo za to priredbo in upamo, da bo velik uspeh in v veselje vsem. Takrat si bomo zopet roko pridali z rojaki iz različnih krajev dežele, s katerimi se mogoče nismo videli, odkar »mo se podali z rojaki iz različnih krajev dežele, s katerimi se mogoče še nismo videli, odkar smo se podali iz stare domovine. Oddaljeni boste imeli priliko ogledati si naše veliko mesto, za drugo bomo pa mi Čikažani skrbeli.
Nekoliko o konvenčni razpravi. V Prosveti čitam razne dopise, ali na žalost nisem do danes čital Še nič koristnega in izvedljivega za SNPJ. Nekateri dopisovalci samo tratijo čas in se vidi, da jim je napredek jed note deseta briga. Samo gledajo, kako bi udarili po uredniku Molku in po drugih uradnikih. Bratje in sestre, če se bomo s tem pečali, ne moremo reči, da smo napredni. Če bi bili naši glavni uradniki čudaki, potom bi bilo nekaj drugega, ampak o-ni ne morejo delati čudežev.
Kar nekateri priporočajo, bi morala konvencija zborovati ne samo 10 ali 12 dni, marveč šti ri ali pet mesecev, pa bi še ne bilo nič perfektnega. Nekateri priporočajo tudi krajše konvencije in da je treba glavne odbornike spremeniti. Bodimo bolj previdni In naše delo bo šlo veliko bol je naprej. Imamo delavce, ki trdo delajo za jednoto, toda mi jim ne damo priznanja. To je pač naša neozdravljiva bolezen. Veliko je tudi takih; ki samo pišejo v Prosveti, toda aktiv ni niso nič. To je meni osebno znano.
Br. Vider, gl. tajnik, je doat jasno povodal v svojem članku da moramo dobro razumoti. Moje mišljenje je, da se moramo boli poglobili in več zaupat glavnim odbornikom, ki delajo za jednoto. To se pokaže vsakih m nt mesecev, ko podajo natančne račune. Bolje Je, du pišemo več o kampanji, ker delegatjc b'Kto ukrepali |x> svojem prepri
čanju.	--------~

Zastopniki naj bodo pripravljeni, da bodo lahko poročali, koliko članov štejejo njih društva, kar le na te način bo mogoče ukrepati glede spojitve.

Sugeeilra federajsko farmo
Co ver da le, Pa. — Pred par tedni sem ae Informiral, da
ennsylvanlji večkrat spremene zakon glede opojnih pijač. Iz tega razloga hočem tudi nekaj napisati v korist naše federacije S. M, P. J. v zapadni Pennl.
Torej kaj je s Jo postavo v Pennl? Prej si moral imeti čarter pet let, to je organizacija, da ai dobil dovoljenje za točenje pijače v družabnih klubih. Postava e bila toliko spremenjena, da je sedaj treba imeti čarter le eno cto, da organizacija dobi dovoljenje za točenje pijače v svojih prostorih in za svoje člsne.
Spodaj podpisani ni velik prijatelj pijače, vseeno bom podal sugestijo našemu članatvu. Dobro bi bilo, če bi prihodnja seja naše federacije, ki se bo vršila v Prestu 27. aprila, poloiila temelj za nabavo federacijske farme. Zadostovalo bi 15 ali 20 akrov zemlje.
Ce to storimo sedaj, bi lahko pobili dovoljenje 1. 1042 In bi lahko ubdržavall pcnnsylvanske dneve SNPJ na lastnih prostorih, kakor tudi imeli druge priredbe in zabave vsako nedeljo. Potem bi se nam no bilo treba bati, da ob nedeljah ne smemo imeti piknikov, ker bi bil član te farme sleherni član jednote v okrožju naše federacije. To bi mnogo koristilo tudi našim društvom in bi b|Ja dobra agitacija tudi za pridobivanje novih članov. Seveda bi morali farmo tako uredili, da bi odgovarjala našim potrebam. Kaj mislite o tem?
Na vsa društva apeliram, da pošljejo »voje zastopnike ni prihodnjo sejo federacije v Presto zadnjo nedeljo dopoldne v aprilu in se bomo lahko tam pogovorili o tej sugestiji. Prav tako tudi o našem prihodnjem dnevu SNPJ, ki se vrši v juniju, ter o drugih stvareh, tikajočih se naše federacije, društev in SNPJ. Anton Ctpčič. predsednik.

ne dajo v ja
Za vsako organizacijo je priporočljivo, da 4a»e svojem» članstvu čim več mogoče statističnih podatkov, iz katerih mu Je omogočeno dobiti pravo sliko svoje organizacije. V pravilih jednote Je bila precej let posebna točka, Id je nalagate gl. tej niku, da mora v glasilu od časa od časa pojasniti članom o stvareh, o katerih prihajajoča pisma v gl. urad in pa dopisi v glasilu dokazujejo, da Članstvo nima prave slike.
V	razpravi za prihodnjo konvencijo so se nekateri dopisniki zelo zavzdi, da prihodnja konvencija upelje starostno podporo, misleči, da bi s teko podporo bilo rešeno vprašanje pomoči tistim, ki so v resnici potrebni. Pri volji so, da se v to svrho dobijo razni dohodki, nekaj naj bi se pa naložilo članstvu v obliki povišanega asesmenta. Kakor je pa zadnjič v Prosveti gl. tej nik pojasnil in navedel tako vi soko številko za povišanje asesmenta v svrho penzije starim članom, da je stvar pri najboljši volji neizvedljiva
V	veliki zmoti pa so tisti člani, kateri mislijo, ker ni radi prevelikega povišanja asesmenta stvar izvedljiva, da bo s tem rešeno, vprašanje. Kakor so tudi v zmoti, da Je kdo prinesel to vprašanje pred članstvo radi o-sebne reklame. Kdor je pošten, mora priznati, da so ga prinesle razmere, katere so veliko moč nejše od volje posameznika. Te razmere, če nas takoj ne bodo, nas bodo pa v bodoče prisilile, da res nekaj storimo zs tiste člar ne, ki so v reenicl najbolj potrebni podpore.
Za te člane sem priporočal, da zgradimo zavetišče. Vem, da se mnogi ne strinjajo z mOjim pri poročilom, kajti priznajmo resnico, da je sleherni član egoist (kakor Je sleherni človek); z zs-nikanjem te resnice bi slepili samega sebe. Zato gleda na idejo zavetišča vsak skozi drugačna očala. Najprej si predstavi sliko svojih razmer ter primerja, ali ga bo on potreboval ali ne. Zato je bila ideja v oblibki penzije veliko bolj simpatična. Če ravno majhna podpora, pa bo le nekaj na stara lete, zavetišče je pa že samo po imonu nekaj poniževalnega.
Nek član mi je odgovoril, da malo razumem o tem vprašanju ter da nimam nobenih skušenj. Priznam, da nimam skušenj, njegov odgovor pa kaže, da jih tudi on nima. Pred leti sem se veliko zanimal ter skušal dobiti podatke od raznih inštltucij, katere imajo taka zavetišča, in teh je v bližini Čikaga kakega pol tucata. Tem se bodo sedaj pridružili tudi alovenakl frančiškani v Lemontu, kateri ga tudi mi alijo ustanoviti, ako ga že niso, in prav gotovo na račun naših podpornih organizacij, katere jim bodo izplačevale smrtnine /a «Mane. ki bodo dobili pri njih zavetišče zato, ker jim ga mi ne moremo dati.
Nekateri rabijo argument, da imajo razne države in okraji zavetišča, kar je resnica. Vemo pa tudi, da so tista zavetišča v rokah lokalnih polltlšnov in mnoge med njimi bi človek niti |)ou ne privoščil
Zadnjič sem omenil, da cena zemlji sedaj še nI pretirana ter da naš denar prinaša majhne obresti. Pa bi za začek kupili recimo farmo kakih 500 do 1000 akrov. Za začetek bi sprejemali take člane in članice, ki so sposobni opravljati še kakšno dela Mogoče s časom bi stvar toliko izboljšala, da bi lahko sprejemali tudi teke, ki bi ne bili sposobni za nobeno delo. Da ne bo za organizacijo preveliko breme, bi lahko določili, da kdor je sprejet v zavetišče, prepiše smrtnino na zavetišče. Mogoče bi se dobili tudi člani, ki nimajo svojcev, pa bt zapustili smrtnino zavetišču Za vire drugih dohodkov bt porabili lahko rasne sklade, kot so upravni, sklad izrednih podpor, enako sklad tiskarne ln stavbinaki aklad in pa smrtnlnski sklad, is katerega tudi lahko nekaj dobimo, dokler amo nadsolventnl.
Da imamo aklad izrednih podpor. iz katerega letno nakazujemo velike vsote. Je resnica Kakor je tudi reentea. da nam ta (mmlpora ne da tute reklame

prave vzroke. Že ime samo pove, da je podpora za izredne slučaje. Ti slučaji so različni, bom pa približno v pravem, da se je precejšen del te podpore izdal za asesmente članom, ki so bili v finančnih stiskah. Da se podpira teke člana, je dobro za organizacijo. . Senčna stran pa zopet pride v poštev ter bi lahko rekli: Plačevali izrednih podpor, dobil smrtnino z S tem nismo članu direktno mč pomagali, pač pa je imel direktne koristi nekdo drugi.
Da smo dali tudi direktne podpore članom, ne zanikam. Povem pa, kaj je po mojem mnenju tudi slaba reklama. Mi vse preveč pričakujemo, da bodo člani, kadar dobijo podporo, klenkali na veliki zvon. Pa se zgodi, da vsled nestrpnosti včasih sami udarimo na te zvon in dobimo iz njega glas, ki nam ne dela reklame. Vselej kadar na glasimo, da smo mi najboljši, ae odzovejo nasprotniki, ki so veli ko bolj glasni od nas. Nisem član nobene druge podporne organizacije — bil sem pred več leti ter sem deloval na to, da se je združila s Slovensko delavsko podporno zvezo. Pri jednoti sem se zavaroval za tolikšno podporo, kolikor sem videl, da mi bo mogoče plačevati. Zato ne pišem raditega, da mi je zo-perna taka reklama, pač pa iz izkušenj, ko sem bil na konferencah za združenje, na katerih se je pogosto naglašalo, da prezirljivo gledamo na druge podporne organizacije. Pravilno je, da naglasimo: to in to damo mi za te in te prispevke, ne da bi omenjali druge organizacije, ker člani so sami toliko inteligentni, da bodo pravilno sodili.

Unloniown. Pa. — Prihodnja seja društva 326 SNPJ se bo vršila 6. aprila—prvo nedeljo v mesecu namesto drugo. Razlog je, ker je druga nedelja velikonočna. Opozarjam člane, da se gotovo udeležite te važne seje, ker bomo morali izvoliti zastopnike za prihodnjo federacijsko sejo in rešiti moramo tudi dru ge zadeve.
Louia Dornlk. tajnik.
Yeangstown. O. — Članstvo našega društva 153 SNPJ opozarjam na sklep zadnje seje, ki se glasi, da se morajo prihodnje seje 6. aprila udeležiti vsi člani in članice. Seja se prične točno ob 1:30 pop. v navadnih prostorih. Na dnevnem redu bo več važnih stvari, tudi volitev tajnika. Kot vam je že znano, je stari tajnik resigniral še februarja; ker pa ni bilo mogoče dobiti nobenega člana, ki bi bil pripravljen prevzeti tajništvo, je 0-stal še za nadalnji mesec. Pridite torej na prihodnjp sejo vsi, da si boste lahko izbrali novega tajnika, ker to je zadnji mesec za starega tajnika. Znano vam je tudi, da se bliža prihodnja konvencija in je torej potrebno, da sodelujete za izboljšanje naših pravil v korist društev in naše jednote.
Naznanjam, da je umrla Helena Polovic, članica našega društva že mnogo let. Bila je aktivna pri vsaki stvari korist društva in SNPJ. Vedno nam je rada pomagale in naaa- bo o-stala v spominu v naših srcih.
Ponovno prosim članstvo našega društva, da se bolj pogosto udeležujete sej, da ne bo~ pregovarjanja, da komu ni znano to

Koncert mladinskega zbora Milwaukee. — Federacij ski pevski zbor Junior AH Star Chorus priredi svoj drugi koncert v soboto zvečer, 26. aprila dvorani Harmonie. Sodelovali 3odo tudi drugi pevski zbori in xxiana bo šaloigra "Čarodejna >rivnica" v enem dejanju.
Mladina se pod vodstvom federacij ske tajnice sestre Chuck pridno uči te igre in seveda tudi >etja pod vodstvom svojega pe-vovodje, kar nam zagotavlja po-x>ln uspeh v tem oziru.. Njen jrvi koncert je izpadel izvrstno n pričakujemo, da se bo naša mladina tudi to pot zopet izvrstno postavila, rpi pa bomo zopet imeli večer lepe zabave.
Toda bratje in sestre SNPJ, uspeh naše mladine zavisi največ od nas samih. Vsled tega apeliram na vsa društva naše federacije in njih posamezne člane, da si rezervirate zadnjo so->oto v aprilu za našo mladino. Dolžnost naša je, da ji stojimo ob strani vedno in povsod in sodelujemo z njo na priredbah. S tem ji polagamo temelj spoštovanja in ljubezni do nas samih, obenem pa naraščaj jednote spodbujamo k večji aktivnosti.
brej vsi na mladinski koncert 26. aprila zvečer.
Joeeph Vidmar, predsednik federacije.

O društvu 80 Midway. Pa. — Veselje je gledati naše žene, ki pridno šivajo posteljno pregrinjalo, katerega bodo podarile mladinskemu krožku 22 SNPJ. To dela naš gospodinjski odsek, da razveseli mla-ino in ji pomaga do financ, ki ih tudi krožek potrebuje za svo-e aktivnosti. Delo je precej naporno, ali gotov sem, da vam bo mhdina hvaležna kot tudi dru-i tvo 89. Storili bomo vse, da tudi mi napolnimo vaša srca z ra-ostjo kot ste ve nas prcseneti-e.
V nedeljo, 6. aprila ob 2. po-oldne bo izredna seja našega ruštva glede kegljišča. Ker ta stvar prihaja že skoro poldrugo eto na naše seje, je potrebno, da jo rešimo. In to bomo storili na tej izredni seji, ko bomo ime-dovolj čaaa. Naša dolžnost je, da ta problem rešimo pravilno in da ostanemo še za naprej složni.
Dne 26. aprila bo naše društvo 89 priredilo veaelico, na katero ste vabljeni vsi od blizu in a leč. Imeli bomo dobro godbo in postregli vam bomo kar je v naši moči. Pripeljite tudi svoje sosede in prijatelje. Na svidenje 26. aprila zvečer v dvorani društva 89 na naši veselici.

Raapls službe In drugo
Cleveland. O. — V koloni "Od časa do časa" večkrat poročam, kako je z našimi izletniškimi prostori elevelandskih društev SNPJ. Se vedno smo navdušeni za nje in bomo navdušeni o-stali. Harmonija med odborniki je lepa. Prostori so najeti za vso sezono. Sedaj napeljujemo novo elektriko. Letos bomo tudi izkopali nov vodnjak, ki ga bo gonila električna sesalka. V načrtu imamo tudi preurždUev stare hiše v dve družinski turistični stanovanji. Seveda za vse to potrebujemo denar. Dne 25. maja bomo imeli sezonsko otvoritev in če se bo naše splošno članstvo potrudilo in razprodalo "listke", bomo zopet dobili nekaj stotakov v blagajno.
Pa še nekaj imam poročati. Do sedaj nam je oskrboval našo farmo John ftos, član društva Št. 53 SrtPJ. Toda na farmi je vedno več prometa, zato potrebujemo poleg moškega tudi žensko. Saj veste, da brez ženske ne more biti.
Torej direktorij farme SNPJ razpisujejo službo upravitelja. Kandidati sa to službo morajo meti sledeče kvallilkacljei 1. Kandidat mora biti dober član SNPJ.
Kandidat mora biti poročen. 3. Kandidat mora biti prillčno pripraven sa tako službo. Vse prošnje naj se čim prej pošljejo na naslov tajnika farme Franka Šušteršlča, 15726 Holmes Ave.. Cleveland. Ohlo. Oni. ki so Clevelanda. se lahko usime-no pogovore pri tajniku. Pogoji so lepil
Torej kdor bi imel veselje za to mesto in je pripravljen, naj vloži prošnjo takoj!
Za direktorij farme SNPJ,
Milan Medvoiek. predsednik.
pokopališču St. Mary's v Painsvillu, O. Star je bil 63 let in rojen v Moravčah na Gorenjskem in kot pravijo, je živel tudi v Kamniku. V Clevelandu je bil dobro poznan in je delal pri American Steel de Wire Co., potem pa se je preselil na farmo v Unionville vzhod no od Clevelanda. V starem kraju je bil izučen strojnik, ali kot tukaj pravimo mašinist. Bil je dolgoletni član našega društva, prej pa društva 142. Bolehal je več mesecev in umrl je v bolnišnici v Painsvillu.
Pokojnik zapušča žalujočo soprogo Josephino, rojeno Tomšič v Podgozdu pri Žužemberku, sinova Theodorja in Adolpha, hčere Ann, omožona Koshan, Midred, omožena Kossick, Josephine, omožena Porter, Sally, omožena Brady, Olgo, omožena Debevc, Helen, omožena Rinto, Sylvijo, Almo in Dorothy. V starrdomovini zapušča brata ii* dve sestri.
Pogreba se je udeležila tudi mrs. Frances Arch iz Moon Runa, Pa., ker je bil pokojni njen sorodnik. Navzočih je bilo več Clevelandčanov in prijateljev iz okolice Union villa. Naše društvo V boj je storilo svojo bratsko dolžnost napram pokojniku. Ohranimo mu blag spomin, njegovim sorodnikom pa naše soža-lje!
Članom društva V boj tudi naznanjam, da ai bodo morali izvoliti novega blagajnika, ker je Ivan Jontez poslal resignacijo, ker se ni udeležil treh zaporednih sej. Kot vzrok navaja rahlo zdravje, zaposlenost in druge po-težkoče. Torej člani, ne pozabite priti na prihodnjo sejo, ki se vrši v nedeljo, 13. aprila, da bomo reševali društvene probleme kot se spodobi.
Frank Barblč. predsednik.

Avtnl karambol — dva člana mrtva
Tacoma, ^faah.—Dne 14. marca ob 4:15 popoldne se je tukaj >ripetlla velika avtna nesreča. ?lana našega društva 403 SNPJ Matt Mattlch in njegova žena sta se peljala na obisk k znancem v 14 milj oddaljeni Puyal-up. Nesreča se je zgodila, ko je pokojni Matt ustavil avto na križišču pri znamenju "Stop". Pogledal je na obe strani in izgledalo je, da je cesta odprta. Pognal je svojo mašino, tedaj ga e pa z veliko brzino udarila na desni strsni druga mašina, da je t>ila žena na mestu mrtva, njen mož pa je živel ii 48 ur.

Prlredba dramskega društva
Barberton, O.—Dramsko društvo Slovenija bo na velikonočno nedeljo, 13. aprila, podalo lep program v dvorani društva Domovine na 14. cesti. Na programu bo petje, godtyene točke In narodni plesi. Spevoprizor "Sirota" nam je podarila Francka Smrdel. V solospevü bo nastopil tudi Tony Podobnik iz Clevelanda.
Igralci pa nam bodo podali tridejanko "Radi oreha". Igra je lepa in vzeta iz življenja dveh kmetov od Gorice na Primorskem. Prepletena je s petjem veselih koscev in grabljic ter ljubeznijo Marjetice in Tineta. Igralci in pevci, večinoma mladi, bodo skušali dati občinstvu dovolj užitka.
V imenu dramskega društva vabim vae rojake od blizu in daleč, da pridete na velikonočno nedeljo v Barberton. Po igri bo ples, za katerega bo Igrala godba Domovina. Pričetek bo ob 3. popoldne.
Naj še omenim, da imamo zdaj v naši naselbini celo vojsko, katero je povzročil "father" Jager, ker se "nevernikl" nismo udeležili misljona. Kot pravijo, so se vsi cerkvenjaki organizirali, da ne pridejo na to igro, ker je župnik Matija Jager dal povelje, "da mora ltl vse dol, kur nI cerkvenega." Bog se nas usmili! Skoda, ker ni Barbiča ln Jan-kovicha v naši naselbini, ampak mi se ne bomo pregovarjali z njim, toda z našim denarjem tudi on ne bo zidal cerkve in sa-luna pod njo. Vidite, to imamo od naših dušnih pastirjev. —
Torej še enkrat vabimo vse ljubitelje lepih iger in lepegs petja na to prirodbo dramskegs društva Slovenije.
Tončka Moše.

Nate glasilo bo troba poročati
Ob prilikah, kakor je zdaj, ko ae našim članom zbudi volja do piaanja In argumentiranja v Pro-sveti, ae kaj kmalu pokaže, kako smo revni a prostorom.
Nekaj daljših dopisov in strsn je ie polna, zraven ps še običaj-na vsbila na veselice—zdsj že naznanjajo piknike—in na seje, uradna poročila in rsčunske tabele, katerih se je posebno zadnje čase spet precej nakopičilo, ps smo v stiski.
Morda bo kdo rekel, zakaj ne dodamo priloge. Nsvadno so po štiri priloge v letu, kadar Imamo zapisnike gl. odbora v dveh jezikih in te priloge precej atanejo. Tehnično mora Prosveta Imeti najmanj štiri strani priloge in za same dopise—če nI ksj nujnega zrsven—se priloga ne Izplača.
Moramo se torej stiskati In odlagati gradivo od tedna do tedna ali za dnevnik, če nI kakšna stvsr sbsolutno namenjena za tednik.
To povzroča nejevoljno pri dopisnikih. Nekateri mislijo, da je nekaj narobe v uredništvu, pa drezajo urednika s pismi ali do-planlcaml, kaj je z dopisom aH razpravo, ki je bila poalana ie pred dvema ali tremi tedni; spet drugI se jeze, ker je bila stvar, katero so poslali za tednik, pri-občena v dnevniku.
In aeveda—tako radi ae sklicujejo ns demokracijo ...
•Ce bi bratje pomislili na fizične meje. v katerih se giblje naša demokracija, bi bili bolj potrpežljivi. Ako člani hočejo, da bo vse sproti objsvljeno, kar pošljejo. bodo morale biti vae razprave za konvencijo skrajšane za več ko polovico, nekatere pa celo za dve tretjini. Do danes še nismo dosti krsjšsll, vse pa kale, da bo to potrebno v prihodnjih mesecih.

Iz vsega tega aledi, da bo enkrat treba naše glasilo (tednik)
povečati.
ena stran več sa ie zdaj ne bi nič poznala.
Povečanje pa pomeni več stroškov—in kako bo s temi stroški, je seveda drugo vprašanje.
Zanimivo je to, da člani plačujejo za tednik eno in isto sta»v naročnino ($1.20 na leto; odkar ima SNPJ svoj tednik, torej ie več ko 30 let. V*Uh tridesetih letih so se stroški na papirju tlaku in drugem najbrie podesete-rili, toda cena lista je ostala stars in danes menda komaj še krije izdatke.
Socialna zaščita in naša Jodnota
V	kolonah Prosvete debatiramo o pomoči za stare člane, istočasno pa zahtevamo, naj kongresna zbornica čim prej razširi socialno zavsrovsnje (starostno pokojnino) na vae one, ki do da-nea še niao uključeni med zavarovance in naj zniža starost za prejemanje podpore na 60 let.
Nobenega dvoma ni, da je razširjeno aocialno zavarovanje prej izpeljivo kot pa je zadostna starostna podpora, katero bi mogla dati SNPJ svojim članom. Izboljšanje socialne zaščite, kakršnega ai mi želimo, najbrže pride že v tem kongresnem zasedanju in naši stari člani bodo tega izboljšanja deležni prej kot pa bodo deležni atarostne podpore od naše jednote, če naša letošnja konvencija ustanovi takšen sklsd. Kajti pri tuu bo vzelo leta, predno ae nabere v starostnem sklsdu toliko, da bo jodnota lahko začela z izplačevanjem podpore iz Istega.

V	tem ozlru bi bilo za nas najbolje, če bi nekoliko potrpeli s to stvarjo.
Vtis, ki gs delajo nekateri raz-pravljalci, kakor da je naša jed-nota zadnja in edina, ki lahko pomaga v tem oziru, nima real ne podlage.

Komentar o zapisniku
Lincoln« 111.—Z veseljem čl-tam Proaveto že mnogo let, posebno pa prispevke v korist SNPJ. Tsko sem tudi z zanimanjem prečital ves zapisnik zadnjega zborovanja gl. odbora in videl, da ao vai odborniki podali dobra poročila. Iz njih je razvidno, da vae članatvo in gl. odborniki delujejo harmonično v korist jednote.
Velikega pomena za našo organizacijo je poročilo predaed-niku gl. porotnega odaeka, ki pravi, da v zadnjih šestih mesecih nI bilo nobenih pritožb. Iz tegs se rszvidi, da je članstvo sprevidelo, ds nima koristi pritoževati sa ns glavno ppfoto. Po mojih mislih bo ta odi*k sčasoma odpadel ln vse pritoibe, ki jih rešuje glsvna porota, naj bi bile poalane gl. izvršneftiu odae-ku v rešitev. S tem bi sa prihranilo več stotakov upravnemu skladu ln denar naj bi šel za pomoč potrebnim. Naša jednota ima več izdstkov, ki bi se dali prikrajšati. O Um bo poročano od federacije srednjega Illlnolaa.
Cltal aem tudi priporočilo br. Lotrtcha ln Petrovlcha, ki priporočata nekako šolo za društvene tajnike. To je zelo dobra ideja. Vsak društveni odbornik potrebuje Šole, poaebno ps tajniki, stari in mladi. TajnikoVo delo danea nl^eč tako kot je bilo pred leti, pa naj ae tiče pridobivanja novih članov ali poslovanja. Dvomim pa, da bi šola pri
di z veseljem oprijel dela in se
usposobil in delal po pravilih v korist članstva in jednote, ker je siguren, da bo prejemal dobro stalno plačo za svoje delo.
Br. Vidrich je sproiil precej dobro idejo, ko je priporočal na letni seji gl. odbora, da bi jednota nekoliko plačala društvenim tajnikom za njihovo delo. Tudi meni ae zdi, če bi jednota to storila ali tajnikom dala vaaj nekaj nagrade na leto za njih delo, bi se njih poslovanje veliko izboljšalo in imeli bi več vesel js do tajništva; tudi sami bi se bolje izšolali in bi ne bilo težko dobiti člana za ta posel.
A kako to urediti, je vprašanje, namreč da bi bila volk sit in koza cela, ker jednota bi imela več izdatkov. Da bi asesment zvišali, bi bilo še slabše, ker gs že sedaj nekateri težko zmagujejo. Mialim pa, da bo sčasoma prišlo do tega, da bodo društveni tajniki prejemali boljše plače za svoje delo, čeprav koza rep zgubi, to je, če bo članstvo hotelo, da bo jednota napredovala.
Kar nas je starih društvenih odbornikov, posebno tajnikov, držimo naše postojanke še pri-lično v dobrem stanju, ker se zavedamo, da je SNPJ naša lastnins. VSe neksj drugeaa pa je pri mladini, in to posetmo v malih naselbinah. Oni se ne zanimajo toliko za SNPJ kot se mi stari. In ko bo prišel čas, ko bodo prisiljeni prevzeti naše delo, stavim, da ga ne bodo opravljali zs plsčo kot jo mi prejemamo. Uverjen sem, da ae bo o tem še več razpravljalo. ^
Še nekaj. V Proeveti kot tudi vekem drugem listu sem čltal, kako težka tovsrniška kladiv« razbijajo po St. Clairju v Cleve-landu ln ne dajo počitka delavcem niti ponoči. Tako se godi tudi po drugih industrijskih mestih. To se bo nsdsljevslo, dokler bo to klsnje onkrsj morja. Ko pa bo to klanje prenehalo, tedaj bodo tudi kladiva prene-hsls razbijati in delavci bodfo dobili dosti počitks ne samo ponoči, marveč tudi podnevi. Torej se lahko zavedamo, kaj bo prišlo; kriza, lahko še hujša kot je bila. Vse to bo morala imeti 12. konvencija pred očmi, da bo delala previdne zaključke za prihodnja štiri leta, ki bodo odgo-varjali problemom SNPJ v primeri depreaije. *

O tem in oaem.....
Brldgeport, O.—Razprava o bodoči konvenciji, pravilih ln amemicah Prosvete sa je ie precej razvils. Vsžno vprašanje je tudi, kako pridobiti mladino, da bi se zaintereairala v delavske smernice Prosvete. Na angleških strsneh so vedno eni ln Isti dopisovalci, novih se zelo mslo priglasi. Njih dopisi sa tičejo večinoma priredb, atletike itd., z, resnimi problemi, pa naj se ie tičejo SNPJ sli delavakega gibanja, se bolj mslo bavljo.
Gotovo je, da smo starejši člani ša v večini pri jednotl, toda naa Je z vaakim tednom, z vsakim mesecem manj. Torej Je veltko vprašanje, kateremu sa ne smemo izogniti, kako v bodoče obdriati Proaveto in kako preuameritl angleško aekcljo, da bi se mlsdlns bolj oprijela in razumavsla smernic« lista. Kdor lms iskušnje z mladino, bi seve-ds lahko naplaal knjigo o vzrokih, zakaj tako počaai zasleduje napredne smernice ln progresivne akcije. Je dosti faktorjev, s katerimi se pa jas na bom ba-vil, marveč jih prepuščam drugim, ki so bolj zmoinl.
Piše se tudi o zavetišču. C« toga problema nlamo mogli rešiti tedaj, ko amo bili v jednotl Še aamo priseljenci, ga tudi aedaj ne bomo Mladini je i« aedaj teiko dopovedati ali jo obdriati v društvih, brez doklade ali svi-šanja aaeamenta pa bi ne šlo. Zniiane »o bile operacije a $100 na $7S, kar ni bila krivda glavnega odbora, pač pa tsplačil pred zadnjo konvencijo.' Vendar to slabo vpliva, ko agitlraš ln ti pravijo, koliko plačajo drugje. Seveda je treba pojasniti, zakaj Um plačajo Mogoče bi se dalo nekaj v tem ozlru storiti. Ksr ae tiče bolniških podpor, vem. da ne bo mogoče nič laboljšatl.
Kako pa s zdravniki? Kot Uj-nlk bolnike navadno večkrat obiščem. zadnjič pa radi saposle-nootl nisem mogel nekoga obiskati. Vprašal aem telefonlčno zdravnika ker Je čUn rekel, da
ki so dobri, ako jim je znano, če imaš denar, ako ai siromak, je pa drugače. Kar s Um mislim, je to, da bi bilo dobro kaj izboljšati, da bi zdravniki dajali bolj na-Unčna poročila, ker ao sedaj v dosti siučsjih zelo površni.
Zadnje časa so v Proeveti zelo netolerantni kritični dopisi, kar fte dela čaeti ne listu ne onim, ki pišejo. Upošteva se svobodno izraianje, na kaUrega se sklicujejo; da ga izrabljajo, Uhko vaa-kdo vidi. ProaveU naj osUne pri Uh smernicah kot jih je določila zadnja konvkncija z resolucijo, ker, mislim, ae večina član-stva strinja z njo. Toda vsaka stvsr ima svoje meje. Koliko ae meni črU, toda nisem še noben-krat protestiral, daai me je ujezilo. Toda po par tednih premišljevanja sem sprevidel, da so imeli v uredništvu le prav, ko so črtali.
Svoboda in demokracija aU dve najlepši stvsr i za slehernega, toda pri izrabljanju Uh čednosti ns škodo lista ali organizacije mora nekje biti tudi meja. Prosveta ne sme pod nobenim pogojem spremeniti smernic od prej omenjene resolucije, kar naj prihodnja konvencija v polni meri upošteva. Ne rečem, da je uredništvo nezmotljivo. Saj imamo gl. odbor, ki se snide dvakrat na leto in stvari izravna ali izboljša. Tako vidim v zapisniku, da je zadnja seja razpravljala tudi o pisanju Prosvete. Torej če se komu godi krivica, je še vedno inšUnca, da se obrne na gUvni odbor. Torej je nespametno pošiljati proteste kakšnemu zunanjemu članu.
Je res žalostno. Štejemo se kot progresiven narod, todaJ smo zadnje čaae precej razkoaani in bo treba reano pričeti mialiti, kako bomo obdržali napredne atva-ri, da ne pridejo v roke reakciji. Naša bodočnost, sploh bodočnost vseh je Uka, da ne more nihče napovedati, kaj bo. Vendar smo še toliko svobodni, ds lshko kritiziramo ali se mslo y listih po-lasamo. Vprašanje je, če ae bomo lahko čez eno leto al^^lVe. In če pride do zaUmnitve, bo šla naša demi^racija po vodi.
Ali zmotni krivi? Malo mogoče tudi, amp*k kaj fx>maga~kap-lja v morju. NamesU da bi akup-no delovali in dali mladini vzgled, se pa pikamo, pa naj bo na aejah, konferencah ali v listih in Uko jo še bolj odtujimo. Mi vemo, kjer je bil oče napreden, mati se pa ni udajstVdvala v gibanju in ko so prišli otroci, so sledili tjs, kamor bi mi najmanj želeli. In prej gredo tja, kjer Imajo več užitka, kot pa med naa.
Zato bo Imela prihodnja konvencija zelo teike probleme pred seboj: ne samo smrtninako zavarovanje, bolniško podporo, operacije itd., marveč tudi mla
ri in pričkanja vsaj za časa vojne.

pravljenih po nepotrebnem.
Ali nimamo drušUv, ki sešu-jejo svoje probleme? Drugič jih rešuje glavni odbor, tretjič porotni odsek, četrtič federacije, petič pa konvencija, na kaUri ima vsako društvo zastopnika, če več ne, vsaj pol. Med delegati so lahko tudi društveni predsedniki in Ujniki. Pravila so pa tudi dovolj stroga ln če jih bomo upoštevali, bo zmeraj o-kev.
Čemu torej dvojne stroške, ker denarja za kaj drugega Uko primanjkuje, na primer za povečanje Prosvete? In ako ga je kaj odveč, naj ae da v aklad za stare in onemogle člane. ČiUm, da je gl. odbor zaključil, da pride to vprašanje na dnevni red na prihodnji seji. Jaz priporočam, naj gl. odbor to vrže z dnevnega reda, ker ne bo koristi, pač pa izguba.
Čitam tudi v zapisniku poročilo glavnega Ujnika, da je po-slovanje med gUvnim uradom in društvenimi uradniki dobro, kot tudi kooperacija in da 'ni posebnih pritožb od članstva. To je dobro poročilo. Torej čemu je treba siliti nekam, kamor ni potrebno?
Anton Valantlnčič. 262.
Redna konvencija je najvišja zakonodajna zbornica, ki tudi izvoli glavne odbornike. In ako so ženske sposobne, imajo ravno toliko prilike biti izvoljene kot moški. S splošnim glasovanjem ali volitvami bi imeli še posebne stroške in tudi izvolili bi Uhko nesposobne gUvne odbornice, ker člani ne vemo, koga volimo. Ne vidi se mi niti braUko, da bi nekatere gUvne odbornike volili na konvenciji, druge pa s splošnim glaaovanjem. ,
i Anton Tratnik« 267.
dinako vprašanje, ker se aklicu-jemo, da je mladina bodočnost organizacije. Ampak pri agiU-cljl za nove Člana «jin nič ne vprašamo, kaj so in kam spadajo, ssmo da jih pridobimo. Toda treba Jih je vzposobiti in pridobiti, da prihajajo na seje in po-stsnejo aktivni. Tukaj je potrebna previdnost. Gledati je treba, da novegs člana ali članico ne odtujiš.
Josopk Snoy. 13.
Se na strtnjs
MkkUesea. Pa. — Ko aem čital zaplanik zadnjega zborovanja gl. odbora, sem videl tudi priporočilo: da bi SNPJ plačcvaU društvene Ujnika in da bi bil to velik napredek sa JednoU, ker bi se potem Ujniki bolj zanimali sa pridobivanj« novih članov. Meni ae to ne vkli umeatno in prav je, da Je Bilo odklonjeno.
Ce bi bili Ujniki plačani od jednote. potem bi se drugI odborniki, ki so plačani od društev, nič ne sanimsll sa pridobivanje novih članov, čel ds so prezira-ni od jednote. Ce se plača enemu, naj se plača vsem Dolžnost pa Je vseh članov društva, da agitlrajo ta nove Člane.
O federaciji in društvih
Sygan, Pa.—Na zadnji seji federacije SNPJ za zapadno Pen-no je bil izvoljen publicijski odbor. Razvidno pa je, da se zanašamo drug na drugega in pa na tajnika. Društva so že ali bodo v kratkem od njega dobila povabila za izvolitev zastopnikov na priho4njo federacijsko sejo, ki se vrši na Prestu 27. aprlU. Upam, da bodo vsa društva poalala svoje aastopnike na to sejo. Želeti je, da se federaciji pridružijo tudi ostala društva, Uko da bomo vsi skupno delovali za procvit naše jednoU. Ta seja bo še posebno važna, ker smo pred konvencijo in je torej potrebno, da so zastopans vsa društvs.
Tudi pri našem društvu Bratstvu 6 SNPJ imsmo polne roke dels. Predelovanje društvenega doma je že skorsj končano. Keg 1 j išče dobro uspeva in potrebovali bi šest ali osem slejev, ne samo štiri. Izkazalo ae je, da kegljanje nI aamo za mladino, ampak se tudi sUrejšl zanimajo. Torej, kjer imate priliko, da si napravite kegljišče, ne zbojte se stroškov. V Strabanu ga že pridno grade in tudi aem slišal, da ga mislijo posUvltl tudi na Mid-wsyju. S skupno kooperscijo se vse naprsvi. In prilike so sedsj tudi boljše rsdi dobrih cest. Tudi naši domovi so bili zgrajeni na slični podlagi. In čim več privlačnosti j« pri društvu, tem lažje je tudi dobiti mladino.
Ponovno vas ielim opomniti ns slsvnostno otvoritev nsšegs doms, ki se vrši 30. maja. Upamo, da se bo takrat zbrala vss zapadna Penna v naši naselbini.

Za staro član«
Milwauk«e. — Člani že pridno razpravljajo o bodočih pravilih in 80 v splošnem zato, da prihodnja konvencija atori nekaj za sUre člane, to je za one, ki so dali življenje "mrtvorojenemu detetu" in ga vzgojili v tolikega orjaka, da se danes ne boji nobenega njemu podobnega. Tako so govorili nekateri pionirji drugi pa, da "amo vsadili drevo na rodovitna tla, da bomo v zatonu našega življenja utrgali kakšen sadež z njega."
Sedaj, ko to drevo lepo cvet i in rodi, pa ti pionirji nimajo toliko pravice do svojega sadeža kolikor bi jo morali imeti na podlagi principa: sdravi pomaga mo bolnim« mladi pa starim. Sklad izrednih podpor je res dobra usUhova, toda ne odgovarja povsem potrebam sUrih članov. Iz tega 8klada dobe neka, le oni člani, bodiai stari ali mla di, ki jih razmere potisnejo do skrajnosti. Šele potem prosijo nekaj pomoči iz tega sklada, da ai privežejo avoje življenje za nekaj časa. Dostikrat Čakajo zato, ker jih je'sram vložiti prošnjo pri svojih društvih in ne vidijo radi, da bi kdo čiUl njih ime v rubriki izrednih podpor.
Po mojem mnenju naj bi prihodnja konvencija uaUnovila za sUre člane poseben sklad, v katerega naj bi vsak član prispeval nekaj centov na mesec. Koliko, naj konvencija določi na podlagi priporočila glavnega Uj nika, ki ve koliko ima jednota članov v starosti 60 ali več let Ko U aklad poatane dovolj močan, naj bi iz njega prejemali določeno podporo vai člani, ki prekoračijo 60. leto, in aicer ne da bi jim bilo zato treba delati ka ke prošnje pri ayojih društvih.
To je moje priporočilo kon venciji. Uverjen aem, da je izvedljivo, treba je le dobre volje in akupnosti in bo šlo. To bi koriatilo vsem Članom, ker vs: se sUramo.	i

Pojasnilo glede čl
Glavnemu odboru, zbranemu ns zadnji polletni seji, je bilo pred (oceno vprašanje članov, ki stopijo v vojaško službo. O tem vpra-bnju se je vršila precej obširna razprava, iz katere je bilo razvidno da je zelja vseh glavnih odbornikov, da se osvoji zaključek, na podlagi katerega se ne bi delala diskriminacija prizadetim članom. Končno je bil glede te zadeve sprejet tudi predlog, kateri je bil priobčen v zapisniku glavnega odbora.
V smislu pravil in zaključka glavnega odbora je dovoljeno članom, ki stopijo ali so pozvani v armado, obdržati zavarovalnino pri naši organizaciji, dokler je za isto plačan asesment po določbah pravil in certifikata. Priporoča se pa, ker točke 73, 81 in 83 omejujejo podpore takim članom, da opustijo zavarovanje za bolniško podporo in odškodnino ter ostanejo zavarovani le za smrtnino.
Opozarjamo društvene tajnike, da se ravnajo v smislu pravil in tudi upoštevajo zaključek glavnega odbora ter v bodoče več ne črtajo člana, če tak član slučajno stopi v armado in hoče še nadalje sbdržati svojo zavarovalnino.	F. A. VIDER, gl. tajnik.

For Members of Slovene National Benefit Society and American Slovenes
WEDNESDAY, APRil 2
H
Our Society Marks Another Milestone
Sunday, Aprfl 6, marks the thirty-seventh birthday of the greatest Slovene fraternal society in America—the Slovene National Benefit Society.
It was on that epochal date in 1904 that delegates of nine independent fraternal lodges assembled at a convention in Chicago to form a new progressive society dedicated to the task of administering mutual help and disseminating liberal thought
Its formation was formally announced on April 9,1904.
From a mere handful of less than 800 members at the time of the first convention in 1904, the new Society grew to more than 2000 and 27 lodges during its first year of existence. In spite of the many obstacles strewn in its path, the young organisation caught the imagination of our people and continued its rapid progress until a year after its 26th anniversary, in 1980, it surpassed the 08,000 mark in both departments, the highest membership attained by the SNPJ to date. The severe economic setback of the early 30's, however, reduced that number considerably but the succeeding years of economic recovery enabled the Society to gradually reclaim its former position.
Today as the twelfth convention approaches the combined membership of the SNPJ is rapidly nearing the 53,000 mark, and with the current Jubilee Campaign at hand there are good prospects that it will easily surpass it
Today the total assets of the SNPJ amount to $8,000,000.
Today our Society continues to mainCain the enviable position of strongest and most influential fraternal organization among our people on this continent!
It achieved this snd many other notable records, primarily because from its very inception it catered to the needs of our working people. Its manifold benefit features, its liberal concepts, and democratic form of govsmment were the outstanding factors which are responsible for its greatness. In short, it was its well rounded program plus a healthy idealism coupled with its free-thought principles which skyrocketed its prestige.
To be sure, its official organ Prosveta played no small part in the success of our Society. For it was Prosveta Daily and Weekly that spread the message of the SNPJ among our people.
In this connection it is timely to call the attention of our ESL members to the official minutes of the February meeting of the Supreme Board printed in a four-page supplement of today's Prosveta. We urge the members of the ESL's to read it carefully, for it contains interesting information, discussions on various vital problems, as well as reflections on our present Anniversary Campaign..
In connection with the Campaign, we are glad to be able to add that our ES lodge 700, of Roundup, Montana, according to complete campaign returns for March, secured a total number of 21 new members! They will celebrate their March record with a mass initiation this month. We are certain that the rest of the ESL's gladly join us in congratulating them on this singular success. They have secured 40 new members since the start of the drive and are a close second to ESL 55» for campaign honors! Roundup knows how to "roundup" new members, and it is expected that other ESL's will follow suit
As we pause briefly to commemorate another milestone
in the progress of our Society, let us firmly resolve that
we will make our Campaign another success in the annals of the SNPJ. -

Lodge Slavija Reports Progress; Annual Event
CHICAGO —It was incorrectly stated in the recent official report of local lodge activities that Slavija s vineysrd festivsl (vlnska trgatev) will take place on October 18. This svent will lake place on Saturday, Oct. 11, st the SNPJ Hall, and wo appeal to all lodges and clubs in Chicago to reserve this date tor our affair.
Lodge Slavija, SNPJ No. 1, is pro-grossing satisfactorily. Our adult membership Is still above the 190 mark, and it consists of members whose ages range between 18 and 80 And we still have five original pioneers with us, namely, J. Wershay, L. Skublc. A. Trampuah, M. Skocir. and Ch. Foucek, whose certifioate numbers are below 80. Marie Pe-vec, Josephine Orsd snd Ruth Mrak were added to our rooter this year, and we hope to enroll several mors In the near future. In addition, three juvenile applications were filed thus far, snd it Is in this de-psrtmont where we need a substantial reinforcement
Due to the foct that many , of our young members transforrsd to the ESL's, wo must see to it that we get new members to take their places. The present world events might help us s little in our csmpslgn. At least we don't have to explain to our proferís who the Slovenes or Jugoslavs are. Let's build up our ranks now before the campaign is ANTON TROJAR, Secy.

Spirit-o-Grams
ST. LOUIS, MO.—The weeks do roll by so quickly! Bowling seems to be the all important at present And we are indeed glad to see so many of our members taking it up so seriously. At the rate they are now going all thoee first prize winners in various bowling contests better look out for their laurels.
Our Pep Party is being whipped into shape by the committee. Jake Kacin being chairman we know we can expect something fine. He never does anything halfway. Ge sure to attend our next meeting which incidentally falls on Good Friday, April 11.	'
Speaking of Good Friday reminds me of hot cross buns. The origin of the hot cross bun has been traced back into history thousands of years, always connected with some religious custom. Centuries before the Christian era, the Egyptians offered "bouns" or buns bearing the mark of two horns to» their favorite Goddess. Later on, the Greeks of fered buns to the gods,' changing the mark of the horns to the cross, for the eesy division of the buns into four quarters and symbolizing the four phases of the moon. The Saxons marked their buns with a cross in honor of Easter, their Goddess of Light. And so the historical bun went on down the ages and, like many other ancient customs, the Christians adopted elso this one.
I wish to announce that the movie, "Hawaiian Harvest," is not available on May 3. We may be able to have it presented after our meeting some time within the near future.
We are glad to hear from Julia Cepak, also glad to hear that she is well on the road to recovery after her recent illness. The scribe hasn't heard from or about Tony Harva-tin who has been on the sick list. We hope that he, too, is well on the mend.
We are glad to hear that Ida Baumgarth is expecting to again make her home here in 8t. Louis. She has been s loyal member and attended meetings regulsrly in spite of the fact that she lived 30 miles from the city. We are sure that now that she will» be here again we shall see her in the familiar role of leader as some special committee member.	By WhoosU

SUPPORT ALL SNPJ ACTIVITIES!
In all the years of this writer's association with the E. S. Federation of SNPJ Lodges of Western Pennsylvania, it has never been faced with months of greater fraternal activities than in the present year. They were lean and prosperous years in which the federation was an important factor in the growth and activity of the fifteen lodges which comprise it. It has produced experienced and seasoned fraternal-ists, and has been a powerful force in the entire SNPJ. It has been unique in the promotion of huge sectional SNPJ Days in large amusement parks; outstanding in its active support of athletics, membership, and kindred fraternal activities which have cost its treasury huge sums. Its athletic events have brought their rewards in recognition and" increased memberships; the record shows that it has promoted membership campaigns that have produced great results, and its membership st the end of 1940 was 1847 members in both departments. Four of its lodges have the required number of adult members to elect a delegate to the convention scheduled in September; the remaining lodges will be represented and the convention delegation will include several from these lodges. Its relations with the older federation of spproximste-ly fifty lodges is highly satisfactory, and the Jo^rtt activities of these two federations find the younger group with the greater responsibility because of the confidence established In the nine years of our organization.
E. S. Fed. Bowlipg Dey This year for the first time since our formation, we will sponsor an E. S. Federation Bowling Day. Its purpose Is twofold: to further the bond of fretemslism among our federated lodges and their memberships; and to visit the remodeled and improved SNPJ Hall in Sygan, Pa., in a body. The Day*s bowling will be limited to the federated lodges, and only five-person team events (both sexes) will participate It Is anUcipated that at least twenty-five teame will enter the Bowling Day events and displsy their skill on the new bowling slleys In Sygan Prizes will be awarded, and these wiU include beautiful trophies to the winning team of each sex. Entry
fees will be kept at a minimum onlv enough to pay for the bowlms hn« and the trophies.	*
WaTl SNPJ Tenpin Tour nay Our Federation Athletic Commit, tee is attempting to organize a larie group of SNPJ members and friend, from W. Pa. to attend the National SNPJ Tenpin Tournament sched uled in Detroit on May 2-3-4 Ef" forte are being made to secure , sufficient number to obtain the spe rial railroad rate of $8.85 for the round trip in a special coach. Plan» are to leave from Pittsburgh on Fri day, May 2, at 11:3Q p. m. in a group and arrive in Detroit 7:25 a. m. Sat' urday, May 3. Return trip can be made any time within twenty days on any of the following trains: 12 45 p. m.—8:25 p. m.—12:01 s. m. Por those who are expected to work &ar-ly Monday morning, it is suggested that the 5:28 p. m. train from De-troit be taken, which will srrive is Pittsburgh at 12:08 a. m. The 12:01 a. m. train will arrive in Pittsburgh at 7:40 a. m. To secure the special rate mentioned, we must travel m a group, but we are not required to return in the same manner. These who desire to go via train, kindly send your train fare to either Larry Csesnl, chairman of our Federation Athletic Committee, or to the writer. Let's get a large group organized for that trip and participate with hundreds of our SNPJ members. Remember, you are not required to participate in the bowling evenu in order to join the party, but if you do desire to howl, get your entries in to the Detroit committee on or before April 14. Let's get going on a trainload for Detroit for a grand and happy week-end.

CHICAOO, ILL.—The big news this week is that subscriptions for the Chicago District Federation of SNPJ have been printed and are being distributed among the various lodges. As previously fcanouoaed, a new Chevrolet sedan will be given away at the SNPJ Day picnic <pi Sunday, August 31. The lodges have a wonderful opportunity to share in the undertaking and do much to bolster their treasury. Subscriptions are selling at ten cents. Sub books had hardly been passed out when Vinko Locaiskar came back with a report that he had completed nearly two of them. Frank Loirich was the first to turn In one dollar for one of the books. Prank Grosar has the distinction of being the second to do so. We learn that Mary E. Novak secured a number of subs at the S8PZ rally last Sunday. Sub books are being taken up quickly. Any lodge selling one hundred books or more will receive forty per cent of the gross receipts on such books. The Pioneers are definitely out to secure more than one hundred sub book patrons.
It is not too early to start talking about the excursion to Detroit for the National SNPJ Bowling tourney. As reported last week, the Pioneers are chartering two special coaches on the Michigan Central Bailroad to take the bowlers and their friends, and even outsiders, to Detroit and back on May 3 and 4. A special round-trip fare of $6.30 for our party will be In effect. Many of our people have an opportunity to take advantage of this low fare and make the trip to Detroit with us. Remember, we must get fifty people in or-
Comets News
UNIVERSAL, PA.—ALL COMETS are urged to attend the next regular meeting of the lodge on Sunday, April 6, beginning at 7 p. m. Important items of business to the interest of the entire lodge will be discussed. Propose for membership those prospects which you have on your list, and for any assistance in selling a prospect, see your secretary or members of the campaign committee.
Final report will be made by the Athletic Committee on the bowling banquet scheduled for April 20. This will be an opportunity to make your reservations for that banquet if you are not a member of one of the bowling teams. Delegates will be elected to. represent the lodge at the next meeting of our Federation. Further plans for our dance scheduled on May 10 will be made. It looks like a thoroughly interesting meeting, so please attend. Following the meeting there will be rc* freshments served and entertainment provided.
Another son was delivered to Grace and Max G. Kumar on Friday, March 21. Grace and the little one are in the Columbia Hospital doing nicely. That should be one proposal for membership at our April 6 meeting.
Bowling continues to hold the Interest of twenty-four COMET members each Monday night. For the first time since the league began, the Niblicks were forced from the first place position, and now occupy third place in the second half. Unless they perform excellently in the final two weeks of play, they will be found in a play-off for the championship as a result of winning the first half. Both the Maahies and Brassies are definite threats In the second half. The Dynamiters continue to monopolise the cellar position, but none of the other teams are enjoying those Monday nights more than they. The banquet will be the pay-off, and everyone is anxious for April 20 to roll around. That will be a night of fun for the gang.
' At this writing, three COMET members have decided definitely to make the trip to Detroit for the National SNPJ Tenpin tournament on March 2-3-4. Other interested members are asked to see the undersigned for details of the trip.

We will be making another trip to Milwaukee for the Badgers' 15th Anniversary on April 19 and are now lining up Pioneer bowlers for a match against the Badgers on Sun day, April 20, in Milwaukee. Sev eral have already indicated that they would go. We need many more, however. All who care to make the trip should get in touch with the Pioneer Secretary.
Only four weeks remain of the Pioneer bowling league schedule Our boys have purposely fixed the schedule so that it would not wind up much before the National SNPJ Tournament. If the scores are any indication _ many of the Pioneer bowlers will share in the money when they get to Detroit. There has been a marked improvement in the scores of the Pioneer league Last Wednesday night's bowling was led by Joseph Kosaik with a 233 game. Dick Raichal had 210, Eddie Hudals 20«, Jamas Jachino 204 Frank Zordaai 201, and Vic Komu char 200.
We have just learned that Mary Zavbi was married three months ago and that her new name Is Mrs Busse.—The Olips have left for an extended trip through Missouri. Kansas, and points southwest, for their spring vacation.—Two of our sisters have been o{>erated for ap pendix. Prances Itak had hers re moved last Saturday and Margaret Soiino. the early part of this week —Barbara Dinssn has been added to the sick list and Helen Vtdegar has returned home from the hospital.—The'strike at the International Harvester Co. which was pretty boi sterous in some respects, is now bo ing arbitrated. One of the condi tions which the CIO has conceded to was the return to their jobs of the employees while the demands are being discussed around the conference table. A good many of our members were affected by the strike which was broken by an injunction with subsequent police protection for the group who went back to work, which group enrolled In the AFL. It was pitiful to see what an injunction can do and It is rumored that everything was not legitimately done. Still, those who called the strike will be affected tremendously. —Louis CUrat, too, has taken on additional responsibilities by joining the matrimonial ranks. Congratulations to the newlyweds.
Though v«?ry few people expected Jugoslavia to break her ties with Hitler, because she was so-to-speak wedgod in between three fires, yet the people of our little European country braved the conaequences. Regardless of what else happens to them, the Jugoslavs will be respected by all who can read and write and understand what it means to be an underdog. This may well be the turning point In the present conflict. If only they can stave off the German hordes, other explosions may follow In the Balkans, in Czechoslovakia, in Norway, and the other countries which have been overrun. We only hope that Jugoslsvia receives the proper support from its alliea, the Greeks and the English.

An ExpMion Concerning Member-Soldiers
A question waa presented to the Supreme Board at the August meeting regarding those mambors who may Joia or who will ba drafted for the military aarrica. The matte* waa thoroughly dia-cuaaod and the general sentiment among the members prevailed to adopt the decision by which there shall ba no dierlmiaation against those members who may join the army. Finally, a motion waa accepted with reference to this question which waa published in the minutes of tba Supreme Board.
In accordance with the by-laws and the decision of the Supreme Board, members who join or are cailod into military service are allowad to retain their insurance with our Society as long aa the assessment for It la paid aa provided in the by-laws and their bane-fit certificate. But It la recommended that members who ara drafted or enlisted Into military service waive the right to sick and diaability insurance and retain only mortuary Insurance due to the fact that according to Sectionr 79. II, and »9. benefits a re restricted to those in military aervice.
We call attention to our local lodge secretaries lo govern them •elves in conformity with the by-laws and also the decision of tho tup urns Beard, and la the future no longer cancel a n.anahar If he loins or Is drafted into military sorvlcs snd^aairas to retain hie Insurance.

My dear Young Americans: We want to publicly acknowledge the fact that our gang of Buckeyes along with Taffy's orchestra enjoyed your dance of the lBth. We all had a marvelous time and the hoapitulity we met with at the SND that weekend was of the super variety. Mrs. Travnik and Mrs. Obranovlc were kept quite busy in the kitchen serving that hungry bunch, and to see Beachey devour a chicken dinner, which was a rare delicacy after some time in the army, was Indeed a sight to warm a cook's heart. Your neighbors and fellow SNPJers, the Wolverines, did their part, too, In entertaining the Barbertonians and Chi-cagoans, and so to you all our sincere thanks for a grand week-end. As ever, OH.
Greetings, Chicago Plonoorsl Twas only a woek after our trip to Detroit but Mary, Nelle and I wero hell-bent for a visit witli all of you and ao It was a pleasure to attend your bowling dance and tournament tho we had to travel thoae many miles.
Again, as in the past, we were welcomed with open aims, royal kindness and liberality. We salute you for the manner in which tho affair was handled and we feel that every one of the Badgers. Wolverines, YA's, Little Forts, Sentinels and all of your other visitors feci the same. It was fun meeting up with our friends the Badgers and to mast more of them for the first time. Twss fun, too, for a certain sextet of femmes to be taxied 'round Chi by F. Kern (Wolverine!) and Emll Hrast who made It a point to be home from the Capital for that event. And 'twas something extra special to be the guests of the Hu-dales where at least three of us almost fought to win the favor of young 'Butch" Hudsle, aged about 7 months. I won! We'll Just chalk this all up in our "Great Times" book and look forward to seeing you all in Detroit in May. Sincerely, O. Valencheck.
111, Marco Shappeck! What a Krand bunch your Badgers arc! Those of you whom we've known for u long, long time were always at the top of our list and now we'll have to add all those new people. Your Rudy lives up to all your rave, about hia bowling ability and after keeping score for your team, I can vouch for them all. The antics of Slim, Wally, Tony. Lenny, Stan, Johnny, etc., were most amusing and they're really a charming bunch of crsck-pots. They won't piind my calling them names affectionately, will they? Hope someone soon discovers a way to cut corners of dls lance so that msstlngs won't be so rare! Regards from a scribbler.

Re S. B. Decision
PITTSBURGH, PA.-After hear. Ing and (aadlng that the 12th regular convention of the SNPJ la to be held in a downtown hotel hare In Pittsburgh, I aa a loyal SNPJ member wish to say a few words in regard to this decision. For I can't understand how a decision such aa thia could be made before a thorough Investigation of ths plaous available for such an aaarmbly could be mads.
By this I do not mean that an investigation oould ba made through correspondence but by persons 1 contact with persona in charge. If the Supreme Board Intends to sand a representative to Pittsburgh to sign a contract for the renting of ths ho-tsl, It oould Just as wsll sund him here to lnvsstigate the Slovene halls and other places available. It sosms that In this rsspeot ths Vosrd could have acted rtufre wisely by finding out the possibilities offered by our hails.
In the paat our Slovenes wsrs sat isfiod with their own clubs and halls, and I believe they still are. Pittsburgh has two SNPJ lodgss, tha Senior lodge consisting of sbout 300 members and the ESL of about 50 members. I know thst these members wsrc very disappointed to hsar thst the convention would not be hsld In ths locsl hall. The SNPJ is s society for ths benefit of Its Slovenes and let's keep It that way. I hope there will be a change in ths decision and that ths convention will b« hsld in the Slovene Hall In Pittsburgh

"Cleveland'« Humble Hercule«" In C. G.
Because Qua Korach, an immigrant from Slovenia (Carnioia), believed "They can't treat people that way in thia country" when he waa taken for several hundred hard earned dollars in a graveyard swindle. Cleveland la a different place to live in. Elliot Nesa waa. able to accomplish s civic clean-up to rival Tom Dewey'a In New York, the $125.000 bribe-taking Police Captain Louis J. Csdek went to Jstl; and
angry, and knew exactly how to handle ttiem. Moat of their victims were hu:able people like htm, without influence."
As Gus walked down the street after his last encounter with the gang, his eyas came to rest on the big sign PRESS'' outside the Cleveland Press Building. "I stood looking at it a while," he later said. "I'd never been in an American newspaper of fide and waa kinds aeerod. I decided to try anyway."
There he met Clayton Fritchey, and told his story. "You see, Gus," Fritchey told him, "you got chipped because others kept quiet. Every time a complainant gets near prosecution, the com plainer gets bought off and then there are no witnesses. If we go into this and you help, I think we can smash the racket. But if we succeed, you'll never get a cent back. If you let them know now thst you are in a position to make them trouble, they'll return some or all of your money, just as they've done with others to keep them quiet"
Gus thought it over a minute, and, says Fritchey, "I don't blame him. He needed that money." Then he said "It's gone far enough."
At first the job of getting witnesses seemed hopeless. The victims were suspicious of strangers. That was where Gus wss invaluable. After doing a hard day's work, he would join Fritchey lste in the day and make calla. "It waa Qua," the reporter says, "who 0ot us into homes, who interpreted, who soothed alarms, who made it poaaible, finally, to get coherent and effective testimony. Despite the secrecy of our work, news of it leaked back to the swindlers, and they swarmed upon theigvictims with big promises of payoffs or, if that did not succeed, with threats."
In that criaia, the investigators turned to a second-generation Slovene American citizen, Judge Frank J. Leusche, who, by his record had won the confidence of the newer Slovenes and other immigrants. 'Tell the truth and nobody can harm you," he counseled those in doubt." They did, says Mr. Fritchey, and enabled the grand Jury to smaah one racketeer cemetery after another.
The final chapter in the clean-up la remembered for its sensational mystery-story solution of the name of the political protector of the racketeers—the tranaposltion of DACEK, advertised holder of 4000 graves, into CADEK—Policy Captain Louia J. Cadek.
A city has been made fit to live in because one immigrant didn't like being pushed around. Doea Gus regret that he didn't stop short and get hia money back? Mr. Fritchey broached the liibject last summer at baseball game: "There's Just one thing I regret, Gus—that you never got your money bsck."
"It's all right," said Gus and grinned. 1

It would be best if the supreme board which is experienced and has knowledge of the various phaaea would first Uke up these problems and give its opinions. The membership could then discuss the subjects more effectively. This is one reason why the discussion on by-laws has not been opened; another reason is that our by-laws are quite eontpT&ie and satisfactory at present, and will not require much diacuaaion.
Among other supreme board officers absent from this meeting is Brother Vogrich, who is still ill. His duties are carried out as directed by the laat board meeting. We are happy to report, however, that his health has improved recently, and it is our sincere hope that hp will recover completely soon, and return to hia post.

Report of Vice President
There are many problems before us which we will discuss at this meeting and try to solve justly and in the best interests of the Society. We must plan to adapt our functions to the swiftly changing conditions. A workers' organisation like ours is also affected by the defense preparations, particularly our young members who are being called to service. It is important that we find a way to keep these members. Thought should be given alao to thoae members with NFC insurance with a view to solving their problem as far as possible. This should be discussed at the next convention.
I have observed from my contacts with members that they are anxious for the merger. The feeling is that both societies are composed of practically the same people, and that combining them would lighten the financial burden considerably.
Another important phase is also the increasing Interest and awareness of the purpose and principles of our Society which are dedicated to liberty and democracy. Our members are not to be deceived .by the tactics reaortqd to by varioiis agencies in times like these. No one can say what the future holds, and we need strong determination for a better and stronger SNPJ.
My relations with the supreme office and executive committee hgve been harmonious, and I carried out all duties assigned Id me. There were WhfcH-twaakPUnitrtt* Most tie* between the lodges and 'supremek office, Hie members generally are well satisfied, and this is also a good sign for our future:
I attended many affairs, anniversaries, etc., as representative and supreme board member, and alao as substitute for President Cainkar whan he waa unable to attend.
ANDREW VIDRICH.
Report accepted. ,
Report oi Second Vice President
I did not receive any assignments from .the main office. I attended as many of the local Ktige functions as I possibly could. I also attended th> SNPJ Day celebration held in Strabane fast Labor Day. The celebration was very sUitteasfUl and beneficial in advertising our Society.1 TU^ meeting of the Athletic Board held at the time took up many problems and requests for financial assistance from various local lodges. The annual Bowling tournament which is to be held in Detroit was discussed. From all indications this tournament should be one U the biggest and best ever held by our Society.
The meeting of the lodge representatives held in conjunction with the Labor Day celebration was very well attended and many helpful discussions took place in trying to promote more activity for the SNPJ.
Chicago was designated as the place for the next SNPJ Day celebration. I suggest that in order to make the next SNPJ Day a real celebration, and this being a convention year, that the convention start right after the Labor Day celebration. Most of the lodge delegates who live north and west of Chicago have to go through Chicago to get to Pittaburgh. The delegates could aRehd the annual National SNPJ celebration and then go to the convention. This would make the 1941 8NPJ Day affair a Veal get-together of all the active members in our organisation.

Report of Vice President Second District
The national campaign In our aociety to increase the memberships in our English speaking lodges is coming along very well in Cleveland and I believe that the results will compare favorably with thoae from the other dkatricta. The Cleveland Federation la offering a beautiful trophy to the Engliah speaking lodge securing the meat members. The Federation offered the trophy as an Incentive to greater activity for new members In the competing lodges.
I alao arranged for the promotion of a Fifteenth Anniveraary Celebration dance of the English speaking Ipdges In which all of our seven lodges participated It was not only a great social and financial success but it helped to Increase the spirit of cooperation between all the lodgea. One of the other commendable raeulta of this dance waa a very definite increase in the attendance In our athletic activities
I put all my effort behind the stabilizing and reorganizing of Lodge S73 which waa on th« verge of dlaaolutlon I alao helped to correct the mis-understanding which estated between Um mem bers of the Senior lodg^ and Lodge No HI.
I attended the Combined Anniveraary Celebra tion of Lodges If and «40 of Bridgeport. Ohio, aa guest speaker delegated by the Supreme Office
The spirit of friendlinifj and fine hospitality shown to me by the members of theae two lodgea will long remain in my ifceinory.
As a guest speaker, I also attended anniveraary celebrations of the following lodgea: 135, 139, 142, and 147.
I alao attended numerous other anniversary cflabratlons held by sNPjJ lodges. The Cleveland lodges were almost all celebrating either their 30th or 35th anniversaries, . These occasions, it seems to me, show a true spirit of fratamallsm t)id enthusiasm for SNPJ.
Our Cleveland lodges a^ sponsoring an extensive bowling program with a tournament to be held here on March 8 and 9. This program will create a greater u\tff<ft among our lodges to a greater attendance aV our National Tournament to be held in Detroit on May 3 and 4, 1941.
In concluding this brief report for my diatrict, may I say that my relationships with the Executive Office have been very pleasant and satisfactory. I sincerely hope .that I shall be able to conduct my official duties with evea greater efficiency and enthusiaam in the future.

^Report of Vice President Third District
In this semiannual report I wish to state that I received no correspondence nor was sent on any missions by our Executive Committee. My work was limited U> my own surroundings as you all may know. _ k. , ^
In our campaign which has been on now for about fqyr months, } believe the Engliah speaking lodgea are faring quite well. The Athletic Tournaments which have been jpqmored, I believe are very successful and will d&w in new members, naturally not in throngs as, some expected but a good percentage of members that are interested in frafe&p*) insurance. ,,At this time we can^llso expect a setback on account of the selective ftrv* ice and many of our eligible« are in this class, and sooner than join they withhold until this is over; or anyway, tt ia a good excuse for th* time being. Anyway, in my estimation it may mean war and they aren't anxious to take up Insurance of any kind.
Hoping this meeting approves of this report, I

goes Into thia question of our youth, the more one la forced to conclude that lack of that ideal lam for our Society which wjui and still is found among our older member«, is to blame for this apathy, particularly In aome placea.
In apite of the sincere and honest suggestions offered to increase interest and activity lor Our organlsatlon, It la my firm opinion that We can expect action and success in scouring new members only from thoae members who posaaas ideal-lam for our Society and who arc convinced that they arc working for a good thing, for tbeir own organisation—or from paid members as practised by the commercial insurance companiea. Everything elae is more or leal speculative. -
A member may be thoroughly inatructcd ln the Inaurance our Society offers, but if he has not the will, pride and loyalty for hia organisation and a aenae of hia responsibility, he will not go out campaigning, and no one can force htm to. Therefore It la esaential that wc awaken and eduoate our youth to the algnifioanoc to them of this enterprise of which they arc members. If we
neglect to do this, the fault will be our own. •

Report of Vice President Fourth District
Considerable advertiaing and campaign work has been carried out sine« our last meeting by the ckecutivc and diatrict officers as well as by the general-membership. All this has helped toward our progress
The campaign which opened on October 1 'has brought quite a number of new members. The response in the West, while satisfactory, could perhaps be still better.
Our greatest progress has been in the Juvenile depdfrtment. Some lodges doubled their Juvenile membership, especially where there is a juvenile «ffiji«. It «ppears that all circles are showldg satisfactory progreaa.
' Thé federations in the West are all active In enroling new members as well aa promoting the work and name of the SNPJ. Preparations are under way for an SNPJ Day of the Weat. I must admit that I waa surprised by the^enthusiasm and response of the lodges for this undertaking, and I am convinced that th« event will be a success and will acquaint non mem bers with our organisation and work.
I suggest that thia meeting take steps to start action In organising juvenile circles where they do Hot exist. I am convinced that the chances are good in many places.
-	I had the opportunity to vlalt more lodges than ever before and I have found Increased Interest In the SNPJ everywhere^
Considerable eritirla«n of "ur l'*l wall calendars was heard, principally because the printing and pads were too small. The opinion la that this should be corrected in the future.
It would be advisable to proper^ a plan for a inambership campaign in thia, our convention year.

As shown above aasets of insuranos department have increased in amount of 637 L227.93. Total net assets at end of year were $8jl21,85*1.40.
The usual treasurer's report has been omitted-The finance committee will report on Inveatmegrta. I want to mention only that during the closing months of last year a number of our bonds wee» called due to decrease In interest rate, and we can probably expect more of this. Safe, reliable bonds are scarce, and are quickly bought up by the big insurance companies when they appear. This is one of the big problems of organizations like ours.
This la our convention year, and soma members have emphasised the need (or discussion of bylaws. We have traditionally dtecuaaed our bylaws for six months or more before each convention, and almost every speciflg experience of g member or lodge was eventually incorporated therein. Our Idea seemed to be that every human, problem could be solved by u provision in the by-Iggsg.
Naturally, some will find U hard to give up this tradition, but the sooner we do so the better off we will be, financially and morally. Thousands of our dollars were spent for lawyers and courts, aad there were numerous esses of unnsetsssry bitterness and slander of the Society and officials because of incidents which could not be settled out of court because no one had the power to do so.
Finally we realised that the by-laws would have to be revised so that cases of dispute could be settled on the basis of mutual, fraternal understanding if at all possible. This was done, and the present by-laws have reduced Idw suita by 98%. Also, they have eliminated criticism of our dealings with members In certain misunderstandings.
Shall we now start again to break up our bylaws aa set up by experts, and return to the former period of law suits? Is not the satisfaction of our members a sufficient indication that our present by-laws are good?
I am sure that no one will recommend that the assessment be Increased at the neat convention nor in the by-laws discussion. Aa this will not happen, then—on the basis of financial reports published every six months, every interested member can know what ws are able to givs.
Of course, sons minor by-law changss will bs necessary. But on the whole they should remain as they are. I sincerely hope that the members will not be excited by impossible promises In these serious times. On the other hand, members msy be sure that they will get everything our finances and standing permit in the form of benefits, assistance, etc. Let us rather give our efforts to our membership csmpaign for our mutual good, than perhaps argue about impractical and Impossible plans.
The ESL 15th snnivamry campaign could undoubtedly be mors successful If the members of all ESL's would bs ss active In It ss some. It seems to me that this Is partly our own fault because we are apt to theorize on paper Instead of applying real, practical effort such as Is being practised by some lodges and members so com-inendably.
Three lodges consolidated last year, and a new E8 lodge was organized at Brownaville, Pa. At the end of 1940 we had 608 lodges in 10 States and Canada.
The supreme tressurer's heslth has improved, und under more favorable conditions he would ffrobably have returned to wbrk already. However, we hope that his recovery will be complete
soon.
Relatlona between lodges and officers and our office are excellent, business Is administrated promptly, and there are few complaints. Benefits and claims are paid as promptly as possible. The employees are capable and conacientious, and relations In the department harmonious.
Certified accountants and our Supervisory commutes audited the books, snd their reports will be submitted here.
Jn the nsms of the SNPJ I want to thank everyone who has helped our Society In any way in the past yesr, and particularly those who srs active In enrolling new members. It la our hope that they will continue with their work.

Total receipts are $189,622.90, total disbursements $183,964.75 or $6,658.15 less than receipts which does not cover the $21.103.72 deficit of the first half of 1940. The $1 class has a surplus, and the $2 and $3 classes show deficits. Balance of all claases as of Dec. 31, 1940, Is $271,945.60.
The next convention will have the task of amending the by-laws to conform to our needs Some change will have to be made In provisions for $2 class which has been operating at a loss; its reserve has been decreased by $59,187.40 in the past three years which means that on the basis of benefits paid the assessment per member for this class Is 20c per month too low. The $1 snd $3 classes are In fine shape and no change is recommended. The $1 class particularly has a strong reserve which must bs maintained because of insur-snce laws as well as for any eventuality.
The question of our sick benefits has an Interesting history. In the paat the members-enthusiss-tically discussed the by-laws at lodge meetings and In Prosveto before every convention. In those times this was u good thing for the Society. At present the tendency is to use mors modern and simpler methods to accomplish this work. How ever, recommendations are still necessary even if they cannot all be considered. Many good ideas for the organization have come from members' suggestions.
There is really only one way to change the provisions for the $2 class and that Is to decrease the benefit; an increase In assessment cannot be thought of. Also, from a business standpoint It Is necessary that we have a similar system for all three classes, and this precludes starting something new.
My opinion Is thst the convention should pass the 1923 provisions, that is, the seals which provides according to membership period for 6 days less full benefit and restricts full benefit to 90 days per year. I will prepare these changes for the new by-laws for the convention to discuss and adopt as necessary.	LAWRENCE ORADISEK.

Manager's Report
For Printing and Publications Dspsrlmsni
No particular changes have taken place in these departmenta during the last six-month ported.
PROSVETA—The official organ or Wednesday issue of ProsveU la now being printed in 29,000 copies. The other 12,000 srs included in the dsily subscriptions. All the members interested in the daily have taken advantage of this arrangement. Even though deatfi, poor eight and old age have cancelled a few subscribers, the daily Prosveta is still printed in 5,000 copies. Ws hsve gained about 400 new subscribers during the past year, obviously becauae of the slightly Improved working conditions throughout the country. With very few exceptions, the subscriptions are promptly paid up. Those delinquent In payments due to unemployment or other ressons, usually pay at their first opportunity. From the present outlook we can still hope that Prosveta will continue as dsily for at leaat the next two conventions, if not more. Q
MLADINSKI LIST is printed In 7,800 copies monthly. It Is constsntly Improving snd enthusiastically supported and received by our juvenile members and readers.
PRINTERY—For the past six months there were no chsnges In the printing department. Re cently we ordered new matrices for our linotype machines, because the old ones are worn out New type will enable clearer and better reading Shortly we slso expect insUllstioh of a new smsll press, replacing the old "Gordon" pre* which has been in use since we have the prlntory.
The work between the lodges and office hss been hsrmonlous during the last six months On advice of the Society's finance committee. Printery and Proavete have each Invested $5,000 from their checking accounts In U. 8. Government B<»ndB. Proavete shows a two hundred dollar deficit for the laat half of the year, due mainly to the increased expenditures for cuts, cost of sup plies, purchase of several stories and translatioiiau We were also paying a special War Tax for each copy of Proavete mailed to Canada. After much correspondence with the Canadian Revenue Of flee, we ahall, effective January 1. 1941 be exempt of this tax. From the financial report you will observe that the Printery haa again shown a prof-it for the past half year. The future from the finsncial standpoint therefore, la very promiaing.
To commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the daily Proavete this yesr, the executive board has decided to publish In addition to the regular size Pros vets, also s four or eight psge photogravure section with sppropriatr pictures and articles printed on s better grade of psper.
The books of account for both departments have been m always, examined by professional mmmfmm snd alao by the society's auditing committees. For farther details snd questions on this report, I shall be available st the meeting

Report of Editor of SNPJ Publications
The situation in the editorial offices of our gJ ciety during the last six months has been voy much like that of the first six months. Ttu>re hu been scarcely anything worthy of special n*
A few weeks ago the Supreme ExecuthJ Committee passed a decision that the official nun* ber of Prosveta, to be published the last WtdneS day of June, 1941, shall be the commemorative issue for the twenty-fifth anniversary of the daily Prosveta, which will be observed on July 1 0f thi year. The jubilee supplement which will be it. sued on this occasion on fine paper, illustrated, and from four to twelve pages, will contain, in general, the history of our daily newspaper, and, if possible, contributions from the pioneer agitaton for our daily paper. Further, we shall strive to include interesting and significant photograph* statistical data, and other historical material to make up a suitable and worthwhile issue—one of which every sttbaeriber can be proud and which he can retain.
In the next number of the Mladinski List you will
see a further improvement in our juvenile magazine, the only one of its kind in America. It will be the first issue in which the cover and the illustration will appear in colors. We shall con-tinue this novelty, and each month make uie of one illustration submitted by theanembers themselves. The interest manifested by our juvenile members in their monthly publication is greater now than ever before in the history of our So-ciety. The number of contributions in drawing» and articles continues to increase, and soon we shall be forced to select only the very best contributions or to enlarge the magazine. All these improvements, of course, mean greater expenm, but the interest in the magazine is correspondingly increased. The Juvenile Circles are demanding more and more space for their artieles and photographs; however, since the Circles are one of our most recent and most promising ventures, there cannot be the slightest doubt that all the im-provementa adopted by the Mladihski List will pay greater and greater dividends. However we may exercise frugality in regard to Prosveta, let us not curtail the Mladinski List; such a step might endanger our future advancement.
We are living In trying times of a world eras. It Is echoed in all the press, and only natural that it should spread also to our PrOsveta. As long u we hove a democracy, and as long as we deal with controversial political, economic, and social questions in our publication, so long will we have disagreements. It is the duty of the editorial department to see that the disagreements among members stay within the boundaries of constructive criticiam and logic.	IVAN MOLEK.

Report of Finance Committee
We are herewith submitting to you a report on our activities and a review of new investment» and changes which have taken place in our portfolio, during the six month period, from July 1 to Dec. 31, 1940, inclusive..
As customary in the past, almost all our business has been transacted at our monthly meeting! j These meetings were held every month, oxcepi in November. Through the publications of the minutes of these meetings, you are being continual!/ informed as to our actions and decisions. Nevertheless, in presenting you these figures, we fed it is necessary to give you some explanations, io order to make them clear and understandable.
NEW PURCHASES.—The par value of all the securities purchased was $487,070.00. We have paid $497,463.87, or a premium of $10,393 87 far these securities. This par value of our investments Is about $80,000 higher than in previa* six month period. In breaking up the amount invested, we find that an avenge of $83.000 wm invested every month. Of course, not all of ths amount was new funds, as sohie of this money ws acquired from securities sold or dispo»ed of i" other ways.
As to various types of securities purchased « compared to those purchased in the previous at i month period, the figures are as follows:
Last half Fi^ of 1940
U. S. Government Bonds.........$213,850
Municipal Bonds_____ 180.000
F.H.A Insured Mt0L_______ 27.000
Public ytillty Bonds______L 40.000
Federal Saving Certificates...... 25.000
You will notice that the main change is. • ^ crease of $57.000 In purchaaes of U. 8 Gov W»» and an Increase of $60,000 In purchases o\ * nicipal Bonda.	. .
YIELD OBTAINED —For some years Finance Committee hss repeatedly about difficulty of finding sound and »»ff.,ff!v ties which would hsve s sstlsfsctory financial market haa not changed in ths during teat six months, except for the e«rw ^ dictions of financial experts notwithstanding figures below show, that the funds ***** ing teat six months will bring this incon*

PROSVETA
trict Our finance committee has made many attempts to refund these bonds or to dispose of them at more favorable terms, but without success. We finally decided that selling them was the best way out of an unpleasant situation.
We had much better fortune in disposing of our Tiedtke Stores Realty Co. bonds. These were so-oalled First Mortgage Leasehold bonds which have caused us much trouble In the past. As they were placed on the list of Non-admitted assets, we were advised to aell them some time ago. But because they were quoted much below par at 75 or 80, we decided to hold them for better price. We have finally diapoaed of them without a loss to our 8oc!ety.
MORTGAGES PAID—Eleven mortgages have been paid In full which is a rather large number for six month period. In most cases, the borrowers have been able to obtain funds elsewhere under more favorably terras and hsve used such funds to pay their obligations to us.
PORTFOLIO IMPROVED.—We feel that it is entirely proper to call your attention to the fact, that the quality of our securities is being steadily improved. We have recently made a survey as to the rating qualifications of our investments and the report shows, that fully 70% of our bonds, excluding so-called Industrial bonds, have a rating of A or better. This improvement la partly due to a gradual elimination of unsound securities, and partly to our policy of placing all new funda in high grade securities only.
This is our joint report. We shall be glad to give you any additional information that you may desire.	MATT PETROVICH,
Chairman SNPJ Finance Committee.

Since the last meeting the regulnr examlnntlon of all applications waa taken care of, both adult and juvenile, including new member«, increased insurance, reinstatement«, operations, disability benefits and tick benefit«.
During the past year snd more 10 during the past alx month«, I have received numerous inquiries from members of the Society, Hying in various parts of tho country, aaking my advico for relief or euro of any number of diseases from which they might be suffering. According to the Information given me, and the aymptoma unci ailment« complained of, I have done my best to recommend the proper treatment. However, in tho majority of ca»es, even if the specific disease from which the patient is suffering 1« known to me, It 1« very difficult, or sometimes impossible, to prescribe treatment without giving the patient a thorough phy«lcal examination, since treatment prescribed In any «peclflc caae doe« not apply tu all Individuals.

CHANOE OF CERTIFICATES
Under official bu«ine«i, Secretary Vider submits question of paldup certificate« and automatic extended inauranoe. Actuary recommend« laauing these certificate* only ufter throe year« from date of transfer of member from Claaa A to Claa« D and E. To lisue certificates immediately on transfer 1« opt to lead to too great a burden for tho Society. Medvesek, Malgai, Vidrich, Petrovich, Lotrlch and Gradiaek take part In diacussion. Motion by Lotrlch carried to add provlalun to application for transfer from Cla«« A that «uch member has no right to puidup certificate or automatic extended Insurance for throe year« from date of transfer; insursnce department to bo notified of this decision.
Supreme bosrd meeting of August 10, 1037, adopted provision that * member« with paid-up cecilflcotea or automatic extended insurance sro not insured for Rick or disability benefit but only for death benefit to be paid to their beneficiaries aa provided by certificate; the exception is mem* bars insured in Claaa C snd E whose lifu insursnoe is psid up st end of twenty years but who continue to psy ssseasment for all other benefita oxcept death benefit.
POLICIES OF PROSVETA Secretary reads resolution of California HNPJ federation published In Proaveta concerning tho paper'« policy. Resolution ordered placed on file.
President takes up question of material pub-llahed in Prosveta. Lotrlch cannot approve Pro-sveta'« present policy and statea his objections. Petrovich believes that to be champions of democracy we must practise democracy by allowing everyone fioedom of expression which was the main reason for establishing Prosveta. Obviously everything sent in Is not fit to be published but sll articles dealing with our economic and social problems and fraternal societies should appear. Material on wot Id political que«, turns should be limited; Prosvota's main role Is the SNPJ snd not world i>olltlcs.
Medvesek recommenda editor take a middle course In «uch question« aa members and correspondents ore of vsrying opinions. Vldrlch points out unpopulsrlty of editor'« comment« to article« snd suggests cxplsnstory articles instead. Barbie wan always opposed to censorship of artlclao which tends to discourage active member« and Prosveta egitators. Humorous materiel is deal »able and popular. He has si ways worked for Prosveta and the Society but asks no privileges for himself, but a free press for ell,
Gradiaek recalls the many protests on Prosvota under Jotc Zavertnik's editorship aa againat the present. Nothing la perfect, and In view of the chaotic eonditlona, it la difficult to determine the paper's policy absolutely. Shulsr agrees that Proaveta must keep abreast of tho changaa as far aa peaslble.
Olip finds comments to political articles Inestimable. articles on the Society sometimes require comment which ahould be prepared by the officer concerned with question dlacuaaed. Certain art idea would better. be unpubJlahed, and others would require drastic cutting. : Malgai doubts if it would ever ba'poadble to setiafy everyone Most harmful to the paper Ia tlie practise of editors arguing with each other on world problems instead of discuosing SNPJ problems and affairs closer to ua.
Vider explains that he has had to comment on untruthful article which waa published. Editors should write more on the SNPJ which pub J tabes the paper in the Intareats of the Society, end this consideration ahould be primary in U*e Daily aa well oa Weekly.

neat board meeting.	_
In the name of the entire board the president expreue. the hope that Bro. Vogrlch will return
to activity won.	__
Cainkar state. that the question of Prosveta policy Is sn old one, and that many published article, add nothing to our prestige or program. The Prosveta ahould serve the Society a. a medium to .pread it. ideal, and principle., and to ac-
complwh our purpow.
Godina state« that It would be harmful to the Society to change the policy of Prosveta. The SNPJ became the Urgeat Slovene fraternal organization chiefly because of progrewlve policy of Its paper. The last convention assigned the task of editing Prosveta to Bro. Molek who I. doing thi. with due consideration of clrcumstancw and the wlshw of the supreme board.
SESSION FEB. 14. 9 A. M.
Minute, of opening wwlon approved with correction.. Minute, of p. m. sewion approved a. read.
Debate on Prosveta policy continued. Petro-vich, Barbie, Lotrich, Tomsk:, Godlng, Medvesek, ZaiU, Tercel) and Vlder take part Motion carried a. follow.: Majority of SNPJ supreme board is of opinion Uiat the editor shall continue the preoent democratic policy, but that Proeveta Daily shall carry more original article, and contribution. concerning our problem, which are more important to our Society and our immigrants than article, and letters on international politic*
CONVENTION
Vlder move, that the twelfth regular convention shall open September 1ft, 1041. Motion seconded. Lotrich reports that Chicago SNPJ Federation recommends that convention open Sept • because of SNPJ Day in Chicago Aug. 80, 11 and Sept. 1 which delegate, from the West and North could attend on their way to the convention. Vider explains that Septomber 15 date !« beat becauw of the work in the office.. Malgai, Barbie and Zarnik talk on motion. Carried unanimously.
Rewlutlon of SNPJ Federation of Western Pa. and of Fayette and Greene Counties ask. that convention be held In Slovene Home In Pittsburgh. Vlder explain, that Western Pa. Federation elected a special committee which Mnt Its recommendation, to the supreme office, as did the federation which has now Mnt resolution to hold convention In 8lovene Home; that 1., the recommendation was changed later.
Originally the committee sent estimates from Hotel Roosevelt and Hotel Fort Pitt, as well a. letter from d I roc tor. of Slovene Home without any prkes. Executive committee has considered this question from various angles, which i. finally to be decided by the whole board.
We ahall need a proper aised hall for the main awembly, In addition, we shall need at least ft con unit tee-meeting rooms and a room for official documents and material. These facilities are not available at the Slovene Home It I. doubtful alao that the delegate« could be given sleeping quarters and their meal, in the vicinity of the Slovene Home. All them thing, must be considered. The prestige of the Society I. also Involved.
The estlmstes from the hotels show thst assembly and meeting rooms would be free if a certain number of delegates reserves rooms in the hotel
Majority present take, part in debate. Tercelj was present at meeting which unanimously sdopted resolution to hold convention in Slovene home every attempt would be made to satisfy the needs, and the feeling wa. that as hail was Slovene owned It should be supported. Medvesek believe, it would probably be best to hold convention in Slovene Home to please the member.; alw. some delegates would feel more at home
there.	. _
Vidrich, Molek, Vratarich. Sbulai. Barbie, Cor-sek, Petrovich, Gradisek talk on subject. Cainkar points out that executive committee took up this whole matter and obtained particulars on what the Home and the hotels can offer; we are submitting all the facto and it is up to the whole Supreme Board now to decide. Other, point out that the convention will benefit if it i. held In hotel since the Home can not offer what our convention require.. Otherwise no one ha. anything against the Home and It is recommended that programs be held there during the convention. and that the delegatos congregate there In
their free time.
Barbie moves to hold twelfth regular convention in Hotel; all arrangements to be made by exocuUve committee. Motion seconded.
Tercelj moves that twelfth regular convention be held In Slovene Home. Medvesek second*
Two vote, cast for contrary motion. Balance of votes for motion. Session adjourned.
SESSION FEB. 14, 1 P. M.
CONVENTION REPORTS
Secretary moves that supreme officers' reports to convention shall be In the Supreme office not later than June 30, 1041. Zalts .uggerts that report. .hall be of each officer's jurisdiction only. Eupan suggest, that reports be published in book form; each officer to include desired amendment* to by-laws. Cainkar, Petrovleh, Malgai, Medvesek, Shular, Barbie and Vratarich talk on subject. Zupan moves to publish reports to Slovene and English. Carried. Vider'. motion carried, and also that executive committee shall arrange distribution of reports.
TENTATIVE BY-LAWS Zaitz recommends thft the usual provisional by-laws be prepared. Vider states he cannot see necessity for this, and the money would be wasted. The prewnt by-law. have proved good, and we have few complaint, and misunderstandings. The necenMry amendments can be presented in pamphlet form with old section on one page and propowd section on opposite page.
SO YEAR ENDOWMENT Last convention decided that a 20 Year Endowment plan was to be submitted to the next convention for consideration. Vlder reports that executive committee has prepared this plan. He doubts that .lt will be as popular a. claimed if we compare rmulta of our Juvenile endowment insurance. Thl. ha* been In effect since July I, 1037, and has only 400 members in spite of the fact that we know of no organization which offers such good insurance, and that at age of 16 amount paid In Is paid out in full. The feeling Is that assessment Is too high, and such policies are very often changed to ordinary insurance after a few months. Adult endowment insurance will cost twice as much as present Insurance, and even now there are complaints on the ■■■.■■ment. The majority of juvenile, tranaferrlng to adult clsu take out the 6800 certificate on which parent, pay aaseosment. Also, We must consider that state legislation In many oases Is becoming more strict, with many states already proposing taxation of fraternal societies, very poMibly because of the fact that fraternal, are entering the commercial insurance field more and more. He i. convinced that even if adopted, endowment Insurance will not be especially successful
Cainkar state, that taxation of fraternal societies Is being discussed in msny state loglalatures, and If passed our Society will be affected If we have undownment Insurance or not.
Medvesek believes It Is aboslutely necessary to have. endowment Insurance In addition to the other clame«.
Lotrich was alway. in favor of endowment Insurance as the more types of policies we have to offer, the ea*ler it 1« to get new member*.
Vratarich, Malgai, Barbie, Tómale, Zarnik and Petrovich believe that thl. Insurance should be available for those who want it
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS Vlder recommends rewording of section 44 which will make the provision clearer in certain respects. Approved.
Vider recommend, change in section 46, "Applicant .hall pay $1 admission fee into expense fund upon admission to membership" to read "Admission fees of new members shall be determined by the supreme board as neoossary." Motion by Zupan to accept amendment oarrled.
PROSVETA ........|
Mcdvtisk recommends correction of section 61 to stele that member is entitled to disability benefit for lose of limb whether due to accident or disease. Vider explains executive committee ha. made thi. change. Approved.
In section 83 Vider recommend, major operations benefit increased 8ft; medical examiner is preparing certain suggestions for this section. Debate follow, in which ail present talk on powibllity of improvement with present receipt.; improvement io desirable baeause of competition. Malgai move, that member, transferring from juvenile to adult class be entitled to full operation benefit from date of transfer. Motion carried.
Zupan moves that aertion 83 last sentence, lart paragraph, shall be changed to read that member. will be entitled to full operation benefit re-gardleas of operation benefit, previously received. Carried.
Malgai move, that section 83, first paragraph, tfr«n read that six months after admittance to disability insurance member is entitled to half benefit for operation, and to full benefit after one year. Motion seconded. Taking part in debate are Gradisek, Medvesek, Zarnik, Petrovich, Barbie, Tomsic, Tercelj, Sular and Vlder who calls attention to the danger of Increasing payments from disability fund too much. Tercelj states that since we have had no complaint, about operation benefit, we may believe that member, are satisfied with present provisions. 0 votes ca#t for motion, 10 votes contrary.
Tomalc recommend, that all serious women's diwaw. claused as .uch by modern medical practise be included in list for which operation benefits are paid. This will be done wherever possible.
Medvesek moves change in section 102 to read that a secretary of another organization cannot be secretary of SNPJ lodge but can hold other office. Vider, Gorsek, Barbie, Lotrich, Godlna, Zarnik and Shular believe that present provision, are in order. Motion not carried.
Vider reports that executive committee will re port to convention the adoption of provision that juvenile applicants may be aeeeptod to membership without medical examination in States where this Is permitted. Zkitz, Malgai, Petrovich, Zupan and Medvesek talk on .Object. Malgai recommends this only for children up to six; Zaitz suggests that applications shall .tote that no benefit will be paid if fahe statement is made concerning health of child.
Vidrich recommends change in section 37, for which Zupan's motion to delete words "At the next meeting" .... carried.
P. M. session adjourned.
SESSION FEB. 16.1A.M.
Minutes of Feb. 14 session approved with oor rection..
Molek question, provisions of sections 10, 11 an 23 as concerning editors of publications. Section 10 specifies alternates of all supreme officers except editor; sections 11 and 23 are almost identical In providing for removal of officers, and therefore repetitious. He moves to combine thaw provision, into one section, that is, to cover all supreme officers. Zupan seconds motion. Zaits, Cainkar and Vkler explain that section 11 has general provisions for recall of officers; mors specific provision, for important office, appear later because of past experience, in thi. respect Section 23 Is not a repetition but only more specific provision and should be retained. Motion ndt carried.	Si1 !■■
In diwuMing section, 10 officer, are of opinion that it is.impractical and undesirable to elect al ternatos for all supreme offices at the convention where thi. 1. often done superficially, and with out regard for the qualification. neceMory particularly for executive and finance committee..
ZaiU move, that executive committee .ahall draft a section for neW by-law. providing that vacancy of an executive office or in finance committee .hall be filled by supreme j>oard appointment of one of Its member, or any other member of the Society qualified for the particular office. Motion carried.
Molek states that, resolution defining Prosveta policy adopted by last convention should have been Included in section 34. However, since the rapidly changing condition, make It impossible to specify a definite policy for the four-year period, the Supreme board should have the right to define the policy of Prosveta.
Zaifk' motion that Molek prepare a new provi .ion and prewnt it to the executive committee for the new by-laws carried
Provision of section M ha. oauwd considerable confusion; suspended members may not receive sick benefit; suspension Is figured from first of month but member has until last day to pay a>-sesment, with result that .ick benefit may be paid before his standing Is known. Gradisek move, to delete last six lines of first paragraph. ■
Vider Is of opinion that this Important question will require careful study. Zupan'. motion that execuUve committee prepares the required new provision for by-laws carried.
Gradisek report, that the 82 .ick benefit ctoss is operating at a loss which might have been averted if the last convention had adopted the provision, submitted by the execuUve committee instead of thow of the convention by-laws committee. The execuUve committee has studied this problem and consulted the actuary who prepared a new wale of assessments and benefits which Is undoubtedly too drastic to be acceptable. Cainkar, Petrovich, Vlder, Olip, Tercelj and Barbie talk on subject. Unanimously decided to submit the same provisions for 82 class to the contention as submitted by executive committee to the last convention.
Barbie brings up question of sick benefit of members in care of osteopaths and chiropractors. Gradisek explains that by-laws state that members treated by licensed doctors of medlcinc shall be entitled to sick benefit.
Barbie jdates that prewnt sick benefit application. are Cbo comprehensive and often members find It difficult to have them filled in full by hospital. and clinic. Gradisek explains that even more information should be required in wme cases. The certificate, issued by wme hospitals and clinic, are considered sufficient for payment of sick benefit Vider explains that the rules for sick benefit must necessarily be strict
Vidrich believes it .would be beneficial to change our lodge officers system w that at least secretaries would be paid for their work from the supreme office at w much per member; thi. would act as an Incentive to work for new member..
Vider believe, that the idea would be good, but would require increased aswsment for expense fund as prewnt rate of 13c per iponth would be insufficient. Cainkar agrees. Tercelj points out that tills would perhaps cause dissatisfaction among the other lodge officers.
Board is of opinion that our prewnt system is most practical everything considered, and no change is recommended.
Malgai states that provisions will have to be made for members called to military service. Vider explains that executive committee is working on a rewlutlon for'the convention which will provide special privileges on sick and disability benefit to member, in military wrvice.
HOSPITALIZATION
Lotrich aak. for a report on the hospitalization plan. Vider explain, that thi. Insurance 1. not desirable for our orgai&ation. There is a great deal of racketeering iivjonnection with this, and the ones to J&eaeflt most are doctor, and hospitals. Not long ago, a doctor stated that 50% of all operation, are unnecessary. The SNPJ offers health and disability Insurance, which can in part be considered a hospitalization plan.
Lotrich believes that some of these plans are very good and honest Barbie state, thi. would cauw many a member to consider the alternatives of the Hospital Plan or the Society', .ick and disability benefits. Question is deferred for further study.	''
MISCELLANEOUS
Cainkar reads protest of Zupan against executive committee decision to have a film made In technicolor and sound of SNPJ supreme office various departments, and activities at a cost iff 81,500. Zupan gives thwe reasons:
1) It is not impossible that a first class film would be made with first class equipment expert direction end proper wttlng; 2) A talkie would be worthless in smaller communities, and we know from experience that even in larger cities it i. very costly to d>tain projection facilities, alw that .uch film would won be out-dated. Our Jugoslavia film was torn at least a- hundred times, and If wund film Is torn it is practically useless; 3) It would probably be Impractical to produce the film for the summer wawn just ahead, and also because of powibllity of change, brought about by the next convention.
Zupan explain, that hi. letter alw has a recommendation that the supreme board approve purchase of film "The New* Parade of 1040" for 86.70 which he had. hoped to be able to .how at the Lodge 156 affair.
Vlder states that executive committee has no far only approved the filming of SNPJ building Interior and activities, but ha. not signed contract; thl. was done In conformity with supreme board decision which allowed up to 84000 to be spent for such film document of the Society, and only after careful consideration of bids from two firms.
Zaitz would approve purchaw of new. parade film at the price stated. He Is skeptical about film proposed by executive committee becauw of the difficulties Involved and the fact that It might

not be a. popular as expected, or as th» u try film. are. He move, to toer Sct^t?
new supreme board. MotionT^Jed Zupan states that he is In favur 0f|
really good film, but that it is uvc^J^' the advice of someone in this line of work

rection. It i. quite possible that in the cheapest job would prove to be th« ¿J* He could arrange for free technical sui*. such a film, and is preparing mater«? filming, important phases of SNPJ acUvito^ is intended primarily for Prosveta.
Petrovich states that 81,500 is too much i. film, and Would prefer that money would be * to compensate our campaign worken.•¡¿22 lieves that movie, have great advwtkZv, for the Society and not only as.si.st in fettL member, but alw in keeping them and iaZl! them in our work. Gradisek, Cainkar, J* Ollp talk on topic. Zaitz' motion carried states he wdl not be in favor of purchi^ more films.
Medvewk reports that commit to* 0f f0Ur a federations promoting the Ohio SNPJ Dsy h* cided on an English and a Slovene speaker i moves that supreme board approves both one of whom i* not a board member MntuT onded.	011
Vider explain, that executive committst m ered thi. matter, and in view of previous decs and the rule, that only one speaker be author and that he .hall be a board member, It«« elded to approve a speaker In the Sloveta guage. The committee does not object to speaker, if second speaker is paid by the bp« ing lodge or group. Supreme board memb« responsible speaker, who are able to talk oe Society; alw, in the best interest of the SNPJ must have control over who shall represent it Zaitz states that there were two instance year where non-board members were paid too at Society affair., which would indicate that rule no longer stand.. The SNPJ was built iq loyal members Who worked unselfishly Ut wherever such a member appears particui among our youth, and if he is a good speak« sides, he should be used and encouraged.
Vider explains that one non-member m was paid only one per diem; lodge invited and later asked for expense money.
Petrovich state, it i. unquestionably desinb approve request of committee for the E* speaker they want. It i. our duty to encou thow who show interest in working among young people,( If we do not do this, we will! no capable leader, among our youth.
Cainkar denies that executive officers haw thought of belittling others in their own favor has alway. supported the youth and belie* should be given every chance to develop. H ever, our young supreme board members ih have first consideration for such assignments.' celj, Olip, Vidrich and Lotrich emphasize the i of using our young agitators. Barbie and Qi sek ask why federations could not pay the exp of second speaker themselves. Medvesek's mc carried, which shall Qpyer only this instance is not valid for future caw..
Lotrich believe, that it would b« advanUg to hold a lodge wcretarie. and presidents i ference on day before convention opens far purpose of instructing these officers in our li of insurance, administration and agiUtio. diwuwing current Society and lodge probli Question deferred to next supreme board mM Vider submit, rewlutlon of Chicago die federation of SNPJ adopted at its regular ■ ing and appealing to the SNPJ supreme k meeting that it shall instruct the executive e mittoe to prepare a rewlutlon and distribute! the lodges with information for action and warding to senators and reprewntatives who i be requested to vote for the proposed ameodi to Improve the pension law so that age be l| ered from 65 to 60 years, and workers in ^ classification be entitled to pension.
