' WOODMAN ORDER
Restrained From Putting In
to Operation "Old Line"
Insurance System.
.1 ,1V-' i .'J ' i 'C- i
Denver. The Woodmen of ... tfte
World lodge, with headquarters in
Denver, was enjoined by order of he
district court from putting into oper
ation an "old line" , system of insur
ance. Judge George F. Dunklee,",in
handing down his decision, held il
legal and void certain constitutional
amendments adopted at a meeting in
Oakland, Cal., last summer, substitut
ing an old line"system for the frater
nal policy of the order. - ' - j
' Judge Dunklee directed attorneys
to prepare a draft of the decree. He
set November 26 as the time' for hear
ing objections, giving the society time
to appeal from the decision."
The W. 0. W. lodge operates in
Colorado, California, Idaho, Montana,
Nebraska, Oregon, Utah, Washington
and Wyoming. The society is incor
porated under Colorado laws and has
its main offices in Denver.
Referring to the court order, the
Morning Oregonian says that Port
land's insurgent Woodmen of the
World, led by Dan Kelleher, hailed
the order at Denver as a sweeping
victory,, but J. 0. Wilson, clerk of
Multnomah camp, said an appeal
would be taken to the United States
supreme court. .
"We were not surprised by the rul
ing," explained Mr. Wilson, "for it
was felt that the lower court would
find against us, but we are confident
of winning the case in the . higher
court. We -will have to win it, for
conditions cannot go on as they are."
The fight among the Woodmen of
the World originated when the young
er men of the" fraternal order elected
Peter F. Gilroy, Oakland, Cal., head
consul, and adopted higher schedules
as the basis of writing insurance.
The new fates, on a parity with those
charged for old line insurance, were
made retroactive. This action was
taken immediately following Gilroy's
election.
Thousands o old men in the 6rder,
a majority of whom became members
when it was founded in the early '90s,
I were forced to drop out because the
new rates were prohibitive. Faced
; with the loss of insurance money to
which they had looked forward as a
protection to their families in old age,
they went to court. ; .
In. Oregon the old men, or the in
surgent, as they are known to the
? administration group in the order,
; were told that jurisdiction rsted with
; the United States district court at
, Denver, where -he Woodmen of the
World have their head offices.
Ia Portland, where there are 6800
; members of Multnomah camp, 1839
refused either to give up , their old
policies or pay the higher premiums
demanded by the ' home office at
Denver. They were dropped from the
rolls, as were old men in the other
: clamps of the city, but under . the
court's ruling may become members
in good standing again by paying up
: their back dues.
The exchange of policies was (start
ed last May and went on through
June and July. Old men began drop-
' ping out in th spring and by the mid
dle of the summer the majority who
r felt that they had been imposed upon
were off of the rolls. i v ' a
In raising the rates Head Consul
Gilroy and his advisers were seeking
to give members of the order the
same classes of insurance as are
.written by the : old line companies.
They claimed to have acted at the
direction of insurance commissioners
in western states, but the insurgents
have denied that the commissioners
forced the action.
3 The policies held by the old men
were written over a long period, but
the bulk of them date back to the
days when the Woodmen of the World
was being built up as a fraternal
order. Their rates were extremely
low. Some pay as little as 70 cents
a $1000. From 70 cents the rates
run to about $1.50..
These low rates, the administration
: group claimed, threatened to weaken
" the order to a point where it would
bring on a crisis. ' The older members
beneficiaries of the low rates, have
admitted this, but insist that they
have paid their premiums for the
I greater part of their lives and are en
titled to the protection promised them
when they were young men. They
point a reserve of $9,000,000 at proof
that there is enough money in the
treasury to take care of them.

Continent Again In
Market For Wheat
Portland advices are to the effect
that three thousand tons of wheat
were sold over last week-end for ship
ment to Mediterranean ports. This
was of interest to the. trade as it was
the first business worked with the
continent since the early part of the
season. The wheat will be lorwara-
ed Monday on the Italian motor ship
Feltre, which is now taking gram at
Vancouver. - Advantageous freight
rates made . the business possible.
Prices indicated by English buyers
were toe far out of line to be con
sidered. There were Inquiries from
Japan, but at about 4 cents under the
market .
While the local cash market was
quiet, there was some activity in the
market for soft red wheat at pre
miums. Most of the buying was in
the Colfax district, where about 25,
000 bushels were obtained. Elsewhnre
In eastern Washington wheat farmers
were journeying to Spokane to at
