case before it decided that the phrase
thirteen weeks in arrears for dues "
means that the member is non-beneficial
when thirteen weeks have elapsed alter
he is thirteen weeks in arrears. The de-
cision hinges on the single word arrears"
In this case the widow OF Brother Corr
sued the lodge for benefits claimed to be
due. Brother Corr owed his lodge dues
for the month OF April, May, June, July,
August and September. yet he was not in
arrearage thirteen weeks as required by
the bylaws of the lodge. This conclu
sion was based on the fact, that the dues
not being payable In advance. they were
not earned by or due the lodge until July;
that as "a result the arrearage did not be-
gin to run until after they were due, and
as thirteen weeks had not elapsed when
Brother Corr died, he was ut that time
member in good standing. and his widow
entitled to all the benefits.
Lodges that do not desire to pay bene-
fits after a brother is three months I'm
arrears will have to make their dues pay
able in advance, which will cover this
point.
