The Local Agents Surrender and Sign the
Pledge Furnished.

ton, formed at meeting Of the local fire

clude Virginia under the rules OF the South
eastern Tariff Association. and passing Sc
ries of resolutions on the subject adjourned
TO meet at Old Point last Tuesday for
conference of the representatives of the ire
insurance companies who favored the move.
In the meantime the said representatives
were invited and replied by joint circular
letter signed by the principal companies
doing business IN Virginia. expressing the
opinion that such meeting was undesira-
bic and useless and inviting the agents who
had not already signed the pledge to abide
by the rules of the Tariff Association
to do 30 or return their supplies
TO their respective home offices. Fol-
lowing the receipt of this communication
Mr.. L. l.. Alfriend. president OF the State

ton the meeting goes by default.
Some of the most conservative agents
doing a large business have from the be-
ginning recognized the unevenness OF an
attempt to resist the will Of the companies
in this matter, and when they received the
ultimatum above referred to. couched in
very courteous but equally as emphatic
terms, they saw the utter fu-
tility of any other action than
ready acquiescenos and gracefully
succunbsd TO the inevitable. Consequently
