est news from Moscow is that the mill
tary arc making a clean sweep Of all
opposition. and General Dubasscov's
promise that he would stick at nothing
has been fully justified.

demolishment of the secret police build

Conservatives Confident.

their power is gone and there will be a

Superintendent Van Vliet was making
a final inspection before sending the men
out when he discovered two suspicious
looking sacks under one OF the coun-
ters. He asked the carrier what they
were doing down there, and was in-
formed that they were all routed and
ready for him to take out. The Super
intendent examined them and found that
every package in them was for people
living in a certain uptown apartment
house. and that all the carrier would
have to do would be to get on street

would be finished.

ARCANUN MEMBERS
WILL co TO COURT
Washington Branch to Con-
test Increased Assessment.
HOPE OF WHOLE ORDER
Result of Local Battle Means Much to
Others Attached to the
Organization.

There is every likelihood that local
members of the order of Royal Arcaaum
will appeal to the courts for protection
against the enforcement of the increased
rate OF assessments recently made
operative by the action of the supreme
council of the orGa nization.
I In fact. the order throughout the
whole country viii look to the local
branch of the organization TO lead them
out of the legal tangle into which it
has been led as result of the increased
assessment under the decision Of the
supreme council.
Already there have been two decisions
handed down on the question. one by a
Federal judge in Tennessee. and the
other en- Saturday by Judge Gaynor. of
Brooklyn. N Y. The latter did not
nlince words in stating in most posi-
tive manner that the act OF the Ma
tsonal Council of the Order Of Royal
Arcanum. in increasing and changing
the schedule of assessment is illegal
Judge Gaynor's Views.
In discussing the relation between a
member and the order Judge Gaynor
says:
"A contract between a benefit order
and member consists of an act under
which the order was Incorporated. its
constitution and bylaws. the application
for membership. and the certificate is
sued thereon. and cannot be altered in
substance where power 20 do so has not
ben reserevd therein. and. therefore. a
subsequent bylaw reducin~ the face of
the benefit certificate from $500 TO 5000
is void. and constitutes n breach of the
contract. upon which the member may
bring an action for damages
Justice Gaynor also held in the Lam
gan case that - members agreement
to comply with all laws that might here
after be adopted by the order. as well
as power reserved TO il in the by
laws TO change them must be deemed
10 refer only 10 changes which VIII not
impair the substance of the contract"
In the District there are nine councils
of the order with membership OF
about 300. 1t is safe to say that the
new order of things effects directly a
large majority of them. in as much as II
increa SeS their assessment in some in
stances fOurfold. The greatest burden
il is understood falls on the oldest
members and these are naturally par
Jicularly interested in having Judge
Gaynors 5 decision tested and sustained
BY the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The decision of the supreme council
to change the rate of assessment was
arrived at IN May last IN annual cor
vention in Atlantic City. There was 4
protest all along the line of the order
against the action of the national body.
This profess took the shape of petitions
being fled for further consideration
OF the matter by the national body. OF
the nine local councils five sent dele
gates TO the meeting OF the supreme
council. which was held in September
last. who protested strongly against
the proposed increase in the rate Of as
sessnents.
