Instructed Manager p. II. Miller, of

WOODMEN CEASE FIGHT
Head Camp Officials Make
Announcement They Will
Not Seek Increase.

Announcement was made to-
dav bv the executive council of
the Modern Woodmen of America
that the council through its adj
illustrative officers had aban-
doned its fight for the increased
insurance rates and that the
question would not be proposed
at the National Head camp meet
ing to be held at Toledo, O., in
June, unless originating from the
membership.
This ends the bitter fight which
has been waged since the council
attempted to increase rates two
years ago at the Chicago meet
ing. Several months ago the
society was enjoined by the
courts from enforcing the rates
and since that time has been
operating under the old.
Wisconsin Woodmen joined in
the fight ON the new rates and
recently organized an insurgent
movement i'll the state to perfect
plans for a fight at the Toledo
meeting.
