unfortunate condition of affairs was gre
dicted in The NEWS. The Western mem
bers controlled the Grand Lodge which
met at Cleveland and expelled New York
Ledge. They refused to pay any atten-

that the representative OF the lodges IL
the Empire State had TO Withdraw or run
the chances of being punished for con-
tempt Of court. New York Lodge and
/ delegates from several other lodges met
at New York city and proceeded as the
simon pure organization. The division
and it is likely that the
majority Of the lodges in the
East will unite with New York
Lodge. The Western Grand Lodge has
concluded TO try and have the injunction
dissolved. but the action indicates that
they have no hope of winning in the
courts. New York Lodge or the Grand
Lodge which meets under its charter
will proceed against the other branch to
restrain it from using the name of che
order. There are lively times ahead for

as the members have pronounced syfnpa-
thy either with the one or the other and
in no lodge except those in the West are
they in hearty accord with either the enc
faction or the other. Allen O. Myer, of
Cincinnati, is the clever man who eBgi-
