Two separate meetings of the
Woodmen of the World were held
at Waco last Friday, to protect
against the unwarranted raise of
rates and salaries of officers.
One of the meetings was styled
the “regulars5' and the other in-
surgents. tThe “regulars55 claim-
ed an attendance of 700 while
the insurgents claimed 1100.
They were separate meetings1
and held at different halls. Sov-
ereign Commander W, A. Fraser

ed to explain the new rates. A
resolution was adopted by the
regulars indorsing the action of
tne Sovereign Camp at the meet-
ing held in Chicago. At the meet-
ing held by the insurgents all

nied admission. Resolutions
were passed condemning the
laws and insurance rates enact-1

ing held at Chicago and the in-
