UNITED WoRKMEN

The Ancient Order of United Work
ceded from the parent order in the
United States. The act was precipitated
at the meeting of the supreme lodge in
Milwaukee, June 25. The Ontarions pre-
scented a petition asking to be relieved
from financial responsibility to the SUI
preme lodge, at the same time retaining
the name and fraternal relation. This
was unconstitutional and could not be
permitted. The Canadians then with
drew, taking the name and ritual of the
order with them. This they were en-
abled to because the order has no legal
claim in a foreign country. Iowa tried
to secede from the present lodge some
years ago for the same purpose, but after
a long legal contest and the expenditure
of thousands of dollars, .they were
obliged to yield to the supreme lodge or
drop their name. The province of Que
bee. Manitoba, British Columbia and
the maritime provinces remain with the
supreme lodge.
