SCOTTISH RITE MEET
ENDS AT M'ALESTER
lOugrne Iorton Elected President of
"Victory" t'lasn lrlnrc '
OivIIiik Mak Address.
Special to The World.
McAUJirrEK. Nov. 2'1. With an
address that will long remain in the
memory of the nearly 100.000 vUa
sona who were on hand. 1'rince Free
ling. 32-degree Mason and attorney
general of Oklahoma, tonight
brought to a close probably one ol
the most successful convocations ot
Scottish rite Masonry In Oklahoma.
The success of the reunion waa not
alone due to the spirit which pre
vailed, and which, incidentally, led
0 the naming of the baby class of
dasonry of Oklahoma, "Victory."
The biggest measure of Its success
a In the size of the class.
In spite of the fact that many
were absent due to calls for men In
L'ncle Sam's crusade overseas, 24!)
iitididates had the royal secret de
cree conferred upon them. The
work, today concluded the 31st and
d2nd degrees, the su-rninlng of the
various degrees of the Bottlsh rite
Masonry In what may be cllnPd. a
personal application ot these prin
ciples to the Uvea of men.
Both the selection of the name
and the officers for the new con
sistory class gives it a distinction
among the many so far organized
under the banner of Oklahoma .Ma
sonry. First, the name "Victory" Is
placed on the archives of history In
1 his state, honoring the deeds of
the troops of L'ncle Sam and those
of our allies. Second, the officers
ejected give the class an added
lustre, the following being the per
sonnel: Kugene Lorton. Tulsa, pres
ident; Sam Morley, McAlcster. vice
president; James Thomas Sneed, Tal
ari I na, secretary; Jerry John Coenen,
.-tapulpa, treasurer; laul Marvin
t'ope, Oklahoma City, orator; War

HIGHER WAGE DEMANDS
C1IICA.GO, Nov. 21. A demand
for a flat Increase of 25 cents an
hour for all packinghouse employes
and that women workers he paW the
same wages as men for the same
kind of work came up today before
ludge Samuel Alschuler, arbitrator
under the "war working agreement."
ntered Into by the workers and
Ihelr employers last December.
Judge Alschuler informed Francis
I. Heney, counsel representing the
15 employes unions operating in th,
nacklng plants and at the stockyards
hat he would notify him before the
nd of the week when he would be
ibln to take up the petition.
Tho new wage, demand, which
means an Increase ranging from 1"
o 60 per cent a day, varying accord
ng to class of employment, directly
affects neafly .75,000 employes in
r.htc.ago as well as those In plants
operated by the "olg fia" packers
In other cities.
It Is a direct request for from $2
to $3.50 a day inerease for eacji
mploye and comes on top of the
1.45 a day Increase granted when
he "war working agreement" was
ntered Into.
The principal ground for the Ve
quest for a general increase is the In
crease In the cost of living slncj the
December agreement
