• You Had to Ask; On Pius Street On the South Side Slopes, There Is an Old Building Being Converted Into a Bar/Restaurant. The Sign Above Says 'Wbu #6.' What Was This Organization?

As the court record notes, WBU #6 was established in 1922 by the "Workingmen's Benefits Union," which sold the building 80 years later. It housed a bar, a connected apartment for the building's caretaker, and a social hall for meetings and dances with live music on the weekends. In those days, however, these organizations were social clubs as much as anything -- hence the "lodge numbers," such as WBU #6. Many were organized along ethnic lines, with names such as the Slovene National Benefit Society. Especially for recent European immigrants, notes the Heinz History Center's guide Points in Time, "As well as membership benefits, ethnic fraternals offered immigrants social and cultural support." Members were given a connection to the old country, and a helping hand in the new world. The f...

• New Study Shows Fraternal Benefit Societies Deliver $3.4 Billion in Annual Value to Communities and Individuals in Need ; As Government Resources Dwindle, Societies Fill Growing Needs Gap

OAK BROOK, Ill., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- At a time when growing numbers of Americans are in acute need of economic help, a new Georgetown University study finds that fraternal benefit societies are providing billions of dollars in direct and indirect economic support to allay community needs and support social structures. Not- for-profit mutual aid organizations like Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, the Knights of Columbus and more than 70 others were created more than a century ago to serve the financial and social needs of U.S. communities. Today these fraternal benefit societies give back $68 to U.S. society for each dollar that the federal government invests to help support their operations, concludes the study's author, Phillip Swagel, a Georgetown professor and former Assistant ...
