Solons in trouble over sick benefit suit
Local chapter of the Order of Solons faces a $450 claim by John Henry Garlick for 18 weeks of sick benefits after being denied payment by the Supreme Lodge. The suit follows broader allegations of embezzlement by Treasurer Robert J. Godfrey and conspiracy involving other officers. Garlick, blinded in an accident, says the local lodge unanimously granted his benefits, then the national body refused. The case arrives amid published defense from Lodge officials insisting books were sound and suggesting internal rivalries drive the controversy.
