WOMEN CATHOLIC
FOREsTERS DUE
FOR SQUABBLE
MEMBERS DISSATISFIED WITH
PRESENT ADMINISTRATION
WILL STIR THINGS uP-BiEk-
NAL CONVENTION OPENS.

There Is every prospect OF a lively
row in the eighth biennial convention
OF the Women's Catholic Order OF For
esters which opened Tuesday morning
with the celebration of mass at 1920
o'clock In IS. Peter and PauPs cathe
dral. A large number OF members oil
the order have become dissatisfied
with the manner in which the busi'
ness Is conducted by the present al
ministration and will make deter
mined effort to secure what they be-
lieve to be their rights.
Something of an idea OF what the
convention has on Its hands may be
cleaned from the fact that there are
AZ appeals to come before II. 1t Is
said there have been wholesale sus-
pensions OF the courts. and that 25o
members have been expelled since the
last convention. In Dixon, ILL.,, $50
members were suspended on the
charge OF INSTRUMENTATION. II Is also
claimed that one OF the three auditors
was expelled because she showed in
her report the great expense to the Or
der OF some Of the high officials.
Again, the length Of time given to
the conventions Is objected to. The
present sessions, II Is claimed. will
not end before Oct. IA. Another OBJ
lection is made to taxing the members
one dollar each for the expenses of
these long sessions, and also to pay
ing the high court officers a fee per
diem as we'll as their hotel bills and
railway fare. although they receive an
annual salary. These and other mat
ters will be thrashed out at the con-
vention within the next two weeks.
The Rev. ii. J. p. Dempsey, who de-
livered short address OF welcome
10 the ladies, urged them 10 lay aside
all personal differences and work for
the good OF the order.
Conventions are very unwieidy
things. it is true" he said. Some
times II is dificult to know how to act.
There are politics in all conventions
and organizations as we'll as In the
state and municipal government.
There are personal feelings that you
must always try to ignore when the
good OF the order is in question"
There are $50 delegates here. rep
resenting a membership OF $4,000.
The meetings will be held in the con-
-xantinn hall Of the Wayne hotel. and
will be presided over by lha4 high chez
ranger, Mrs. Elizabeth Rodgers. OF
