STRUCK THE REBATE SNAG,
The Insurance Union May Go
to Pieces.
Great Many Brokers Say They Will
Withdraw From 1.-THE Tals Of
the Trouble

There Is prospect that in very short
time the combine known as the Pacific In
surance Union will cease to exist.
And all on account of an attempt now
being made to cut off rebates.
The Insurance Union makes the rates for
the Pacific Coast, and it is necessary for
man to belong to it before he can get posi-
ton as agent.
Go and join the union, and then come
and talk TO US" is one of the first things an
agent hears when he applies for position.
All rates are subject to the action Of the
union. and any company known to employ
a man who is not member of the union Is
subject to fine.
1.-The union has been objected to-" said
prominent insurance broker to a CALL re-
porter yesterday, "by some of the best men
in the State, but they have tolerated 1t
rather than make fuss.
But now things are coming TO climax,
because those who have cinch on certain
amount Of business want to crowd the
others out.
There are two sides to every question:"
said the man. ''and up 10 the present only
the monopoly's side has been heard.
Some oil us are accused OF giving rebates.
We may on certain occasions with people
who would not insure at all unless it were
done, but the same thing Is done in the
largest Offices in town and they never let it
be found out
''Of course, they lose nothing by the re-
bates as the commission is the brokers'
to do with as he pleases, and if he wants to
give his customers the benefit it is his own
business.
Now they want us to put up large
amount Of money, which few can spare, to
be forfeited II we are caught giving rebates.
'But things are not going to be all smooth,
for at one of the secret committee meetings
held lately there was such row that by
the time of the next meeting there will be
few surprises in store for the advocates of
the no-rebate question.
"Of course ali won't join this new move
ment, and unless all do it is practically
worthless.
"A great many said they will withdraw
from the union rather than submit.
This will divide the insurance men into
others throat. Those who withdraw from
the old union will at once proceed TO form
new one for the purpose of self protection.
UNLESS the thing is dropped the union
will have to break up, because its present
rules will be Of no use under the state of
affairs that is bound TO come.
1.-THE promoters Of the scheme say 1t is to
put all on all equal footing. That is all
nonsense, as all are on an equal footing now,
and one man cannot afford TO give rebates
E.Ore than another"
The matter is bound to cause trouble, and
lively times can be looked for among insur-
ance men.
