ARBEITER VEREIN.
This society was originally organized in 1849, as. the Indus- trial Lodge, No. 11, a branch of the National Grand Council of the United States, and was composed entirely of mechanics. Soon after the commencement of the late war, the association, as a national organization, ceased to exist, and the want of another society having the same object in view, to be local in its mem- bership, becoming generally known, gave rise to the present or- ganization, known as the Arbeiter Verein. The present society admits all classes of laborers, whether mechanics or not. Its meetings are secret. The present number of members is one hundred and forty-three.
The object of the organization is the elevation and protection of the working class. Its motto is : "United we are victorious-
