Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Dec ia ticklish subject is un-
der consideration by the board of fire insurance
underwriters. 1t has long been a usage to
charge higher premiums for the insurance of
clothing and other merchandise in stores kept by

lnsuring the property of the majority of Jews
1t was claimed that, as shown by statistics fires
were unduly numerous in the class described
No formal action was ever taken but agents
were privately instructed to discriminate. But
now some general action is required. in view of
the fact that one company has eliminated the
anti-Jew feature from its business. The difficulty
lies in the desire not to offend the entirely I'M
suspected majority of Jews by any reflection
that would include them.
