More than forty policy holders in the

the holder of a $25,oOO policy, as com
plainant, papers were filed last April
to compel a distribution of the $4,000, :
900 surplus fund of the society, to COM

tainment of the rights of the policy

the ballot boxes and the serious attack
on Michael Donnelly, president Of the
Butcher Workmen's union.
