ACTION POSTPONED.


Kansas City, NO., June Sat least
two more years must elapse before the
Modern Woodmen Of America begin to
accumulate reserve or emergency
fund. The head camp voted-and voted
in vigorous and decided way-to
leave the whole matter for the con-
sideTation of the members of the or
ganization for two years, in order that
1t might be taken up again when the
head camp holds its meeting in 1901.
The manner in which the proposition
was voted down came as a great sur
prise to the friends Of the measure,
among whom is to be found Head Con-
sui Northcott.
The laws Of the order provide that no
person can become a beneficiary men,
Der who is engaged in the manufacture
or sale of intoxicating liquor in the
capacity of proprietor, stakeholder,
agent or servant. BY this section all
of the employees in distillery were
barred from beneficiary membership
Peoria, ILL.,, has about 5000 men en-
ployed by distilleries who handle grain
and cattle and do office work, who
want to become members of the order.
The law committee recommended an
amendment by which these men could
be admitted, but after lengthy dis
cussion the amendment was defeated.
The committee recommended that
soldiers and sailors should be admitted
to the order, but this amendment was
also defeated, although the sentiment
of the members was very strong for
caring for men who are now members
of the order and who enlisted in the
volunteer army.
An amendment offered by the Michi-
gan members providing for the protec-
ton of insurance that had been carried
three years if from necessity the mem
bers are forced to seek employment in
prohibited occupations was also de-
feated.
An amendment was offered shutting
out all steel workers from beneficiary
membership in the order The conven-
ton amended the amendment by dis
qualifying all steel heaters. Men en-
ployed at all other branches of the
steel work will be admitted to mem
bership.
An amendment was adopted which
provides for the increase of the board
Of auditors from three to five members
and for head physician in each state
in which the order has been estab-
ished.
