Silas R. Barton, grand recorder of
the Ancient Order United Workmen, has re
turned from Montreal, Canada, where the
session of the supreme lodge, Ancient Order
United Workmen, has been held. Mr. Bar.
ton states that Nebraska's delegation se
cured about all that It asked for and, in
common with other Jurisdictions similarly
situated, wanted.
"The supreme lodge was one of the most
favorable ever heldfor years." says Mr.
Barton. "Tho Nebraska Jurisdiction haa
abaolutely refused to pay under the law
the .guarantee fund asked for by the su
preme lodge for the reason that the amount
requested was, in the Judgment of this
Jurisdiction, the same as bankruptcy; and
consequently the Nebraska Jurisdiction re
fused to pay the assessment. Through the
strength, of the delegation from Nebraska
and other Jurisdictions in like situation, the
supreme lodge was amended In such a man
ner that from and after July 1 the guar
antee fund will be done away ' with and
each Jurisdiction make Its own rates, raise
and invest its our reserve fund, and In
fact haa everything, that the Nebraska Jur
isdiction has striven for, the right of self
government." M. E. Schults of Beatrice was chosen as
irislde watch by that body and S. R. Bar
ton was named as a member of the finance
committee. During the session Ncbraskan
members held very Important places on the
committees. Jacob Jaskalek of South
Omaha was placed on the committee of
"gfiod of the order," M. E. Schults on the
committee of "merger" and 8. R. Barton
on the committee on "condition of the
order" which committee had to do with
the vital' question relative to the guarantee
fund 'and to the preservation of the high
rate Jurisdictions. O. J. Van Dyke was on
the advisory committee of the degree of
honor. Will M. Narvls was re-elected su
preme master workmen. The Supreme
Lodge Bulletin, published at Sioux Falls,
and a source of much expense to the or
ganization, was discontinued and all com
munications from supreme lodge will be
sent to the local organs of the various Jur
isdictions. Several committees of less Im
portance were cut off. An attempt was
made to reduce the representation, but It
