WOODMEN TOLD
OF ORGANIZATION
N. w. A. MEMBERS OF WAPELLo
COUNTY ADDRESSED BY VISIT
ING SPEAKERS.

In pursuance to plans announced
last week large and enthusiastic
meeting Of the Woodmen Of Wapello
county crowded the hall Of Woodland
camp No. 103, M. w. A. last evening to
organize the county to resist any at
tempt to foist the new rates on the
membership. Besides representa-.
tive gathering from the three big Of
tumwa camps, delegates were pres
ent from Agency, Krkville and Eddy
vile. The first speaker was o. H.
Seifert Of Eddyville, who briefly urged
the need of immediate organization.
He showed what he termed was, the
incompetency, Of the head manage
ment in handling woodmen funds. as
compared by the experience of other
societies. as shown by the sworn fig
ures Of the Iowa state auditors re-
port. Following him came Chas. W..
law committee of Des Moines, the
man who had so brilliantly fought
the issue through the Iowa courts and
won complete and sweeping victory,
knocking out the new rates on every
score. Mr. Lyons address was con-
else and Illuminating. He gave a
brief outline of the case as conducted
by the opposition by six Of the big
gest fraternal insurance lawyers the
head Office could secure. He quoted
Judge Bradshaw's decision and urged
that all members stay in the, order.
He warned the members not give up
their old policies, saying they should
tender their old rates to the camp
clerks, as there could be no possible
change in rates unless the supreme
court reversed Judge Bradshaw's
opinion. He said he had not the
-emotest fear but that the supreme
court would affirm this decision in
every particular, if the head officers
should carry 1t up. His address drew
forth much applause from the mem
bers present. Mr.. Lyon goes to Rock
Island to address an insurgent county
mass meeting tonight.
Ed Shields, sixth district member
Of the insurgent state central commit
tee then followed with a ringing ad-
dress in which he told what had been
done to organize the state and the
need Of all woodmen to get
together, take the reins in their own
hands and run their, own society His
appeal met a general response.
Mr.. Lyon goes to Lincoln Neb., next i
week to conduct the same kind Of a |
rial for an injunction in Nebraska as !
ne won in the Des Moines court. The |
following week he goes to Galena to !
help in similar case in Illinois.
