A few of the unions require only that the deceased member shall have been in good standing.  These unions ordinarily pay a small benefit, although the Glass Bottle Blowers pay five hundred dollars without requiring a preliminary period of membership.  The term of necessary membership varies from thirty days in the case of the Barbers to two years in the Cigar Makers.  The usual requirement is that the member shall have been in good standing for six months.
