TO REoRGANlzE A. o. U. w.

Louisville, KY, Dec. 5-A complete
reorganization of the Ancient Order OF
United Workmen, the oldest fraternal
insurance order in the United States,
is expected to be brought about at
meeting of the Supreme Lodge
which began in this city today with
prominent representatives of the or
der present from twenty-three States.
The affairs of the order have been
entangled in litigation for several
years and the present meeting is the
first that the Supreme Lodge has held
since 1907.
The litigation which has proven
rather DISASTROUS to the order. both as
regards membership and finances,
grew out OF the refusal of certain
Grand Lodges to assist in bearing the
financial burden of heavy claims
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1910-12-06

against Grand Lodges in other states.
Some of the Grand Lodges withdrew
rather than pay the extra assessments,
while others took the matter into the
courts. A court decision was finally
returned in favor of the Supreme
Lodge and now the Representatives of
the several states have come together
to make an amicable arrangement and
to decide upon such changes in the
laws of the order as may be deemed
necessary to meet the objections of
the Grand Lodges and to restore the
order TO that condition of prosperity
which it has enjoyed in the past.
