3i Columbus, Ohio, June 30.-Marked
conservatism has characterized the ac-
stions thus far Of the nineteenth an
.nual session of the supreme council of
the I. U. G. Is. in session in Columbus
this week.
last night the work of the council con-
Atinued until q late hour. On the large
number Of amendments which passed
under consideration by the council at
three sittings, the action Of the council
has been in all cases of very con-
Tservative and safe nature.
A most important amendment passed
proposed by Claude Duval of Kansas,
Beonferring the honors Of past officer
upon the members of the executive
Scommittees of all councils who have
served in that capacity for six years.
The effect of this will be to give Off
lcial recognition and honors to the men
in all parts of the country who have
faithfully served the subordinate and
grand councils as executive committee
men without compensation or hope Of
past office honors. The same amend
ment was before the supreme council at
the 1905 session, but was then rejected
wing, to, the feeling that it would
create too many past officers and re-
ssult IN possible increase in representa-
Btion in the grand bodies and supreme
body.
