Fraternal Insurance Scales Stir Nevada United Workmen
An editor urges fraternal lodges to cut expenses and reorganize the Order of United Workmen in light of a new assessment scale. Grand Master Miller calls a Reno meeting September 1 to ratify or reject the Supreme Lodge changes, warning of revolt and potential collapse if costs stay inflated. He cites high lodge dues and administrative waste as factors risking membership and trust. The San Francisco Journal of Commerce warns that the plan erodes the value of the policy, urging liquidation of excess expenses and a businesslike approach to assessments.
