Frs
The hall Of Cooper Union was nearly filed last
night with an audience which gathered " to protest
Against the action Of Governor Cornell in vetoing
BILL passed by unanimous vote of the Senate and
Assembly, for tho protection Of mutual benefit
sociations." Delegations from various mutual ben
eht societies were present, and number of we'll
known men occupied the platform.
A. Il. Happen was introduced by ]. Henry s NTH
rs chairman of the meeting. Mr.. Happen made
short speech in which he stated the object Of the
meeting. He said the Legislature nearly at the
end Of the session and prompt action necessary.
II had passed bill for the protection of mutual
benefit associations. The measure was in harmony
with the wishes of the people. who want to govern
their own affairs but Governor Cornell had vetoed
1t because, perhaps, the life insurance companies
found the mutual benefit societies in their way.
These companies had built costly palaces and Vcre
under heavy expenses, and did not want this honest
competition of the societies. The bill was passed
unanimously. and, con rary 10 custom. the Governor
had vetoed it without giving those Interested
an Opportunity 10 be heard. II was this action
which the meeting desired earnestly to protest
against
