Coming SO soon after the report

Reformers' affairs, the petition for
a receiver for the Grand United
Order Of Galilean Fishermen does
not make for the peace of mind Of
those who are interested in the well
fare OF Negro fraternal organiza-
tons.
The Fishermen's collapse was not
unexpected after the failure Of their
bank. Like the Reformers, they had
maintained close corporation of
officials on salaries incommensurate
with either their ability or earnings,
and had conducted their business on
principles which could result only in.
failure. In the outset, when the
Order was young, much came in and
little went out; but as the members
grew in years and the number of.
deaths increased, disbursements sur
passed receipts. and the inevitable
happened.
The misfortune of the Reformers
sind the Fishermen will bring forth
good fruit if the other Negro fra
ternal organizations will only see
that they can not survive so long as
their affairs are conducted along
similar lines. The death of these
two bodies will not have been in
