Yeomen Debate Transfer and New Order Plan
About 110 delegates representing nearly 10 000 Yeomen of America members met at Elgin to rebuke the supreme officers for transferring the order to the American Guild and to consider reorganizing into a new society similar to the former order. Attorney F B Sibby of Oregon led calls for unity and a second convention to finalize plans, with a majority likely to oppose amalgamation. In Michigan Royal Arcanum delegates denounced new assessment schedules and urged a return to old rates and continued fraternal insurance, with committees authorized to push grand council action or pursue court remedies if needed.
