Among the members Of the Junior CIR
der OF United American Mechanics In
| Manchester there Is great interest felt
In the meeting Of the Funeral Benefit
| Association of the order in Greensboro,
NJ G., on June 18th, from tho fact that
the Board Of Managers of the assocla-
ton will recommend an increase in tho
assessment Of the different lodges Of
from fifteen cents per member per month
to thirty cents per month. Double the
amount Of insurance now paid at the
death of a Junior will be turned over to
the lodges should the recommendation
of the Board OF Managers meet with the
npI1 obation of the delegates that Will be
sent from the different councils In the
State. Those councils that, through
their Delegate, vote against this Increase
in the assessment. will continue to receive
the death benefit as 1t Is now-s250
Councils that instruct their delegate to
vote for the increase to make the as
sessment thirty cents per member will,
upon the death Of a member in good
standing. receive $500, which will be paid
to the heirs of the deceased member.
Rocky Ridge Council took the initiative
last night and instructed its delegate.
Mr.. Aaron L. Sampson, to vote for the
increase. 1t Is then optional with the
council whether 1t will pay the increase
or not.
The quarterly assessment or dues upon
member Of the popular order at this
time is Sits per month. The increase

Association would run tho DIES up to So
or perhaps s2.25. From prominent Juniors
in Manchester it is said that the recon-
mendation Of the Board of Managers of
the association will be approved by the
delegates since, after all, 1t is optional
with the majority of the council to ac-
cept or reject the proposition.
