dissatisfaction among the members II
| the Davenport lodges of the Ancient
| Order of United Workmen, and among
the members of the other lodges of tbs
same order in Iowa. over the recent
action of the supreme lodge in raising
| the rate of assessments so that the as
sessment of members of So years Of
age or over was raised from $3.50 to
$3.50, is much exaggerated, according
to the statements of members of local
lodges. The Workmen here are among
the most enthusiastic fraternal insuc-
ance people in the city, and they de :
clare that the order is being conducted
along lines that insure its perpetuity.
tina, what increases have been made
have been manifestly necessary for the
good of the order, and that While the
burden of the increase will fall heaviest
on the older members, they have no
good ground for complaint since their
insurance is still cheap compared with
some other kinds and has the adyan-
tage of being certainly good. AT the
same time, the need of the order, as O.
all orders, is that the average may be
kept down and the death rate kept
within bounds. That some of the olie1
members will object strenIously is 70
be expected and that they may inaug-
urate a movement to defeat the in
crease proposition in the Iowa grand
lodge, as it is reported the Dubuque
lodges are planning to do, will not De
surprising.
When the announcement of the in
crease was first made it was thought
that the increase applied to Iowa, but
Grand Master Narvis told the local
lodges that the insurance did not affect
the Iowa jurisdiction unless the low,
grand lodge took action to that effect,
because the death rate of Iowa was OF
such low percentage.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Narvis was chair
man of the committee which reconi-
mended to the supreme lodge the in
crease of the assessment rate the 10
cal members of the order fear that a
the next Iowa grand lodge meeting ali
effort may be made to make the i'll
crease applicable to Iowa. The Da-
buque lodges, it is said, will inaugu.-
ate movement which will be extended
to all Iowa subordinate lodges tc
have these lodges instruct their dee
gates to the next grand lodge to
oppose any attempt that may be made
to make the supreme lodges action APP
plicable to Iowa and also to have the
grand lodge go on record as opposing
the said action and asking the su
preme lodge to revoke it's action in
creasing the rate Of assessment.
