The Amendments Passed at the National
Council of the Order at Minneapolis.
The session Of the national council of the
Jr. o U. A. NJ, which has adjourned after
a history making session at Minneapolis,
passed large number Of amendments which
will be interesting to the 1000 members in
this county Probably the most important
one is that referring 20 the various state
councils, the question Of ratifying the action
Of tho National Council in changing the
name from JUNIOR Order United American
Mechanics to United Americans The
various subordinate councils in the United
States have voted upon this proposed change
several times, but has always been defeated
by decisive vote in this state, which
founded the order and has $1,000 members.
The change Of name will undoubtedly be
ratified this time under new laws as each
state council will he recorded as one vote
only, and in the national council the vote for
a change was rs yeas to 21 nays, which came
from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Virginia,
all the other states voting unanimously yes.
beneficiary rank was added to the order
and the cost Of insurance will be announced
as soon as three Of the most prominent &C
tuaries in the United States report on the
cost Of life insurance. The age for members
has been changed from 16 to IS years and up
wards.
The term of national representatives WAS
reduced from five to three years and the
basis Of representation changed so that Penn
sylvania will have eleven members in the
National Council instead Of twenty-nine, as
at present.
The order has been in need Of new ritual
and a three-degree ceremony wss exemplified
during one of the evening sessions The
work was highly commended by all who saw
it, but as large number Of representatives
were favorable to a one-degree ritual the
adoption Of the new initiatorial work was
postponed for one year and a prize of $500
offered to the member writing a ritual which
would be accepted at the meeting next year
at Detroit.
As well known member Of the order
said 'The order has been hindered in its
patriotic work for many years by its name, as
great many eligible people thought It was a
boys order on account of its prefix, while
hundreds Of Others thought it was labor or
ganization on account of the word mechanic
being part of its name. The order is purely
patriotic and beneficial. 1t ia not an anti
Catholic order, as is supposed by many, but
takes in all classes and creeds, with the re-
striction that they must be American born D."
