Re ii men have been re- 



celt ed and entei ed, In due to 



withdrawal from the lumber business, or to ad- 

 vancing age and decreptltude and Inability ta 

 pay Further dues. 



Seven men have been expelled. This Is a 

 consldi -er number than ever before re- 



ted In one year. The number, however, 

 should not be taken as Indicating a growing lax- 

 ity of morals among our members. The Increase 

 olely due to a more vigorous handling of 

 flagrant cases of misdoing than has heretofore 

 ailed. In past times, the Supreme Nine baa 

 awaited the preferring of formal chargea ore* 

 signature of the aggrieved member. In many 

 cases of complaint the man who baa lodged It 

 has, either from a desire to avoid notoriety or 

 out of a good natured reluctance to punish even 

 a criminal brother, declined to tile formal 

 charges. This administration determined to stop 

 if possible the practice of some few members of 

 going around borrowing small sums of money 

 which are never repaid and of cashing drafts and 

 checks which prove to be worthless. In all such 

 .ases where the gulll is obvious and where the 

 guilty one, having been given an opportunity to 

 do BO, has failed to make reasonably prompt 

 restitution, the acrivenoter acting In his official 

 capacity, has tiled the charge nnd in the absence 

 of defense, the Supreme Nine has Invariably 

 voted to expel. Undoubtedly this la the correct 

 policy to pursue and In my Judgment it should 

 he made still more effective by extending an In- 

 flation here to all our members to promptly 

 report to the Bcrivenoter, or some other member 

 of the Supreme Nine, cases of monetary erooked- 

 In my Judgment we cannot too rapidly 

 elimlu our membership these chronic 



never repay and these men who 

 utter worthless checks.
