Eagles Having Problems

Seems membership at the local chapter of the Fraternal Order of Eagles has been dropping over the last 5 years. I can see why the Illinois smoking ban might hurt their numbers, as well as the decision to not allow video poker in town (thought I've been told you can still find it at a couple of places) but don't see how an increase in the minimum wage would affect membership. I can see how the Eagles might not be able to give away as much money because they have to pay higher wages, but not how it would affect membership.
