NOT IN FAVOR OF ANY CHANGE.

A meeting of the Executive Committee of the
Union of Mutual Benefit Associations of the state of
New-Yori was held last night III the AstOr House
The president Of the Union j. II. Smith, presided
The meeting was called 10 listen 10 the opinion of
the counsel Of the Union. Abel Crook upon pro-
posed bill drawn UP by the superintendent OF ln-
Surancc. c. q. FaiInan, relating 10 mutual benefit
associations. Mr.. Crook compared different pro-
visions of the proposed bill with those of the exist
ing insurance law and gave it rs his opinion that
the former confers autocratic powers over mutual
benefit associations upon the Superintendent of In
suTancc, which cannot safely be ntrusted to any
individual He thought that the existing law
should be thoroughly tested before making new
ones and advised the Union TO ITS influence
against the proposed bill. Letters were read from
many associa ions that are members of the Union
expressing the same opinion. TIE advice Of Mr..
Crook was lOpted and his opinion ordered printed
together with the present a,d the proposed nSur-
ance laws. and sent TO the different associations
comprising the Union, and also to each member Of
the LEGISLATURE. The counsel of the Union was in
structed to employ an agent to watch and report
the drift of legislation at Albany on insurance mat
ters The Williamsburg Masonic Mutual Benefit
Association the Brooklyn Mutual Aid As,ociati0n
and the independent OTier Of Free Sons OF Israel
were admitted 10 the Union.
