every session of the union. fight
which has not yet seen its end.
The trouble grew out OF the question
of commissions. The mode of proceed
ure prior to March, 1894, was for local
agents to make their own terms with
the companies they represented as to
commissions. Rates we're the same
but the commissions varied according
to the influence and business capacity
Of individual agents. About that time
the Western Union passed rule that
thereafter commissions should not be
paid in excess Of 10 per cent. ST..
Louisians have failed to live up to it.
Several local agents represent both
union and non-union companies and
the Western Union, it is said, is now
trying to force local agents either to
conform to the rules of practice in re-
gard to the 10 per cent commission
or to give up their non-union compan-
les, the real object of the resolution
being TO force the outside companies
into the union.
