lodge no. @.
Editor Oklahomau: would like 10
occupy a small space in your paper TO
explain to the public the facts in re-
gard TO the trouble which appeared in
the issue of the Oklahoman Of the 21th
copied from the Guthrie Leader about
the A. o. L. w litigation.
Ia the spring of 1893 tho order or
ganized i'm this territory under the
Texas jurisdiction with about 400 mem-
bers, on the promise OF the officers who
acted rs organizers that when the su-
preme lodge met they would give MS a
separate Jurisdiction We were pay
ing - per month assessment TO pay
for Texas deaths; and it kept us Grip
Piled.
When the supreme lodge met II re-
fused TO set us apart from Texas, SO we
called meeting of delegates in III
Reno and organized "a separate grand
lodge, aud in 1894 we had prosporod
so well and increased to nearly 1000
members.
We again sent a delegate TO the SUI
preme lodge meeting, and Wcrc met
with the proposition, viz That we or
ganize uudel the Kansas jurisdiction,
and retain only our good RISKS new
yOang members, thus sacrificing some
of our older members Who had passed
/ the limit of age-forty-iiy years. The
answer our grand lodge gave was
/ this. That before We, Workmcu Of
/ oklahoma, would deii'e our obligations
| as Worbaen and brothers, and sacri-
| fee the men TO whom we had pledged
I our fraternai protection, we would cut
loose forever from the supreme lodge.
! And we did so
The result is that our order stands
today without parallel i'm the history
