Aerie 3600 Prescott - Fraternal Order of Eagles How It Began


On February 6, 1898, six of Seattle's most prominent theater owners gathered to discuss how to handle an ongoing musicians' strike. and Thomas J.

The Fraternal Order of Eagles is an international non-profit organization uniting in the spirit of liberty, truth, justice, and equality, to make human life more desirable by lessening its ills and promoting peace, prosperity, gladness and hope. John Cort, brothers John W. Considine, H.L. Leavitt, Mose Goldsmith, and Arthur G. Williams headed down to the Moran Brothers' shipyard on South Charles S

treet to make a plan. According to most popular accounts, after deciding to work together to settle the strike by using piano players to replace the musicians, the men began to discuss life. At that moment, the Order of Good Things was born. As their numbers grew, the Order chose the Bald Eagles as their official emblem and changed the name of the organization to "The Fraternal Order of Eagles, with a goal to "make human life more desirable by lessening its ills and promoting peace, prosperity, gladness, and hope." Touring theater troupes are credited with much of the Eagles' early growth. Most members were actors, stagehands, and playwrights who carried the Eagles story from town to town as they traversed the United States and Canada. The group's early motto, "Skin'em," became the secret password to identify members while the official motto was changed to "Liberty, Truth, Justice, and Equality." Within 10 years of its inception, the organization boasted more than 1,800 Aeries scattered throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico with a membership exceeding 350,000. Members received free medical attention for themselves and their families, weekly payments in case of sickness, and a funeral benefit - all valuable services before the widespread availability of medical, disability, and life insurance. The organization quickly became a leader in influencing national politics, pushing to create Mother's Day and eventually Social Security, Medicare, and more. The Eagles' growing membership, comprised of many prominent local figures, held a position of great influence in communities everywhere.
