License Revocation of
Modern Woodmen Asked
State Insurance Commissioner Gets
Plea Following Old Capitol
Meeting

A request that he revoke the Ii
cense of the Modern Woodmen of
America lodge, under which they
carry on their insurance business
in Minnesota, was given Garfield
w. Brown, state insurance commits
sioner, Friday, by a group of near
ly 200 members of the organization
and their dependents, following a
meeting in the house chamber of
the state capitol.
! John L. Sunbeam, Minneapolis,
presided at the mass meeting and
charged that officers of the head
lodge, located at Rock Island, Ill,
violated the terms under which the
lodge was licensed to handle insur-
ance in Minnesota, when it put in
to effect an increase in rates which
raised the premiums to be paid by
old members. It is Sundean's con-
tention that the lodge officers ar
ranged the rate increase without
consulting with the membership of
the lodge, and that the increase is
contrary to the will of a majority
of members.
Brown was present at the ses-
sion, which lasted nearly four
hours, together with Governor
Theodore Christianson and William
H. Gurnee, assistant attorney gen.
eral. Brown asked a number of
questions at the meeting, one di-
rected to Sunbeam, asking if he be-
lieved that the increases in rates
were necessary to continue the
lodges insurance activities on a
solvent basis. Sunbeam said he
believed certain increases were
necessary, but, in his opinion, the
rate increases were too drastic,
and were made without proper au-
thority. They were also made un-
necessarily costly to members
through an arrangement for rein
surance through a private COM
pany, which was granted a com
mission, rather than being per.
formed by the lodge.
BY a viva voce vote, the group
decided to telegraph head officers
that ut is in the sense of this gath
ering that the organization would
be benefited, if the present head
officers would resign"
