the business for the month of May Various
plans were discussed for further increasing the
business, and especially in extending the bene-
fits of life insurance among the industrial
classes. The late failures have developed the
fact, that the working people, when insured at
all, are generally in the weak companies, and
this gives significant emphasis to the srecent
plan adopted by the New York Life in form
ing district societies to protect the people
against unsound companies and irresponsible
agents.
Resolutions were adopted endorsing Messrs.
