Indianapolis, Ind. The United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers of America have held in abeyance
the work of starting building the
home for aged and indigent carpen
ters at Lakeland, Fla., because of the
refusal of the rank and file to accept
the limitations put on members for
admission to the home.
At the last convention of the car
penters in this city an age limit of
65 years with 30 years' continuous
membership in the union was adopted
as the fundamentals of admission to
the home. The rank and file of the
membership of the union objected to
this restriction with the result that
the executive board again put the
matter up to the membership and
asked what it desired.
Referendum to Govern
Carpenters' Union to Vote
On Age Limit For Admission
To Home For Aged Members
At this time there is no indication
as to what the membership seeks in
the matter of age limit and union
membership, Secretary Frank Duffy
said, as the matter has not been be
fore the rank and file long enough to
have a crystalization of sentiment in
the matter. He said that whatever
the membership voted in a referen
dum would govern.
Under the laws of the organization
local unions and districts can agree
and then submit a procedure in the
matter which in turn would be pre
sented to the entire membership and
a referendum vote taken to decide,
Secretary Duffy said this course
would follow in due time.
Pending an agreement on rule of
admission to the home the work of
building was held up and will not
proceed until the question of admis
sion is settled. It had been the orig-
if
1
inal intention of the union to have
started work on building the home
late last fall.
Union Owns Fine Land
The union owns 1,800 acres of fine
land near Lakeland and most of it is
in a state of cultivation. There is an
orange grove of 600 acres and this
winter the organization has disposed
of a huge crop of oranges. The citrus
fruit crops are expected to be a big
source of revenue to the home.
The union has started to improve
the property and has constructed iron
fencing about tne grounds and other
wise improved the physical appear
ance of the farm. The next national
convention of the union will be held
at the home in Lakeland, according
to the Action taken by delegates at
the convention here last year.

representatives has approved an
amendment to the workmen's compen
sation bill which increases weekly
payments from $12 to $15. The total

Have You This Habit?
By Margaret Morison
GREGORY'S RELATIVES
Whe
HEN Gregory was growing up,
had two grandmothers to visit
One lived In a great big house in
town. Gregory remembered that house
stuffed full of the spoils of yearly
trips "to the other side." There were
ablnets and shelves and tables clut
tered with dust-covered objects of art.
Some had been shipped by careless
housemaids, some broken and glued
hastily so that the edges showed black
and sticky. No one knew anything
about any of them some were pres
ents of the white elephant variety,
and some priceless antiques.
His other grandmother lived In the
ountry. In his school days when
things went wrong, he would imagine
himself back In the green-shuttered
white cottage, where, In the low-cell*
Inged parlor, a tire on the hearth
threw Its light over the orderly room,
and touched the Chinese chess men
and the Eighteenth century cup and
saucer and all the other distinct things
he remembered, each with Its fascinat
ng story. He knew why a certain
plate had been riveted, and he liked
the pattern of the carefully darned
blankets on his bed upstairs, and he
knew that the lemon drops would al
ways he in the blue glass Jar.
Then Gregory grew up. It was a
question in his own mind, as In every
one else's, which of two nli*e girls he
was going to marry. Even after his
wedding he would ask himself why it
had been Mary. Not that there was
the least doubt in his iulnd that it
s Mary he wanted. But why?
Gradually he satisfied himself with the
happiness of his life, and left the
question blissfully unanswered.
Then he and Mary went to visit his
old flame and her husband. He re
turned home again with a breath of
relief. His host and hostess were'
happy together—no doubt of that,
Gregory was glad to know—but they
lived In a turmoil, a hurly-burly of un
dertakings half begun and never fin
Ished, that left Gregory speechless.
There were magazines a month old un
cut on the table, and piles of unan
swered letters on the desk one
dropped one's coat and hat anywhere:
everyone was late to everything Greg
ory was warned against two weak
legged chairs that had never been
mended the children came to the
table, and their manners were atro
cious. "Bolshevism" was the way
Gregory summed it all up to himself
i»n his first evening home.
Then he looked across at Mary read
ing on the other side of the table.
There was a dignity about her that
took him back to his grandmother in
her little white house. Suddenly he
recognized a quality that went a long
way toward answering that unsolved
question of hi£ early married years
he recognized the habit of personal
and material upkeep.
