' Y New Fees. The permanent injunction, asked hy Charley Foler and others against the Woodmen of the World rate increase, was refused in the dis trict court at Nebraska City Thurs day by Judge Frederick W. Button. ' The case involved the validity of law passed by the society in July, 1919, calling for an increase of rates to provide, a sufficient fund to pay promised benefits amounting to $1, 180,000,000. Plaintiffs in the suit at tempted to obtain an injunction to prevent the taking effect of the laws calling for a raise in individual rates going into force December JU, W19. May Stop Other SuitsS According to officials of the or ganization the old rates were not adequate to pay outstanding benefits and without the increase a deficit of $176,000,000 would have occurred. Actions of ite society in its plan of adjustment were approved by the district court. The decision handed down byths court is of unusual importance, be cause it will be used to prevent liti gation in other states, Nebraska being the original domicile of the Woodmen of the World. W. A. Fraser, sovereign com ma ider, in expressing himself on the decision, said: "Business' Necessity." ; "The result is not different, from what I expecied. Business neces sity, and the right were on our side, and the action taken by the society was necessary for its perpetuation." "The decision of the court was clear, correct and is sustained by the decisions of -the courts of last resort in this nnf other states," said D. E. Bradshaw, general attorney for the organization.
