placed to the credit of this fund, out
of the initiation fee in place of SO as
is now done. The Canton amendment,
which was ruled out by the last supreme
council, because it was not properly
submitted, is again proposed. This
proposition is to give the supreme exec
utive committee the right to retire a
member to the social or non-benefcial
list, only upon the recommendation of
the executive committee Of his subor-
dinate council. Another proposal is to
pay the member found to be extra
hazardous as an accident risk, the sum
of $500 and retire him from further
benefits. Still another plan proposed
by amendment is to create an extra
hazardous class made up of members
becoming infrm or losing their sight,
hearing or limbs, and pay them one
half benefits in case they become acci-
dentally, disabled. There is evidence in
the number and character of the amend
