B. of A. TO Surrender Jersey
Charter; Laws Too Strict

TRENTON, Sept. 1.-The Supreme
Circle, Brotherhood of America, has
given legal notice of its intention to
abandon the New Jersey charter,
which has been involved in litigation
because of an effort to increase the
dues for membership in the funeral
benefit fund
In discussing the situation, counsel
for the brotherhood says:
1.-The very strict rule laid down by
the courts Of New York and New
Jersey in regard to these contracts
makes il clear that We made a mis-
\ take in taking out charter in New
Jersey, and | recommend that this
charter be abandoned as soon as pos
sible and that a charter be sought in
Pennsylvania or some other State
where we may hope for more liberal
treatment, BY this means | think we
will be able to shake off the cloud of
litigation that has been surrounding
the death benefit fund for the last
five years"
Members of the order who have
been fighting the Supreme Circle say
that the proposed increase in rates is
prohibitive and would eventually
squeeze out the older members. There
have been four or more separate suits
In the different courts of New Jersey,
and each case so far decided has been
adverse to the Supreme circle.
