Royal Arcanum in Excellent Financial Health Despite Suit Rumors
Royal Arcanum claims solvency and strong finances led by Supreme Regent C Arch Williams. The organization reports 1917 claims paid in full, over 1 million dollars added to the Emergency Fund, and a robust Widows and Orphans Fund. A January 1918 Boston suit is described as misrepresented, with the fund’s performance exceeding payments by about $3,000 daily, while 34 million sits in the Emergency Fund. The note urges members to know the truth and references related legal history and a convention luncheon address by Mrs J M Solky.
