BURIED THE HATCHET.
Insurance Managers Agree
on a Compact.
CUTTING CEASES AT NOON.
The New Constitution Will Go Into
Effect To-Day.
NEARLY ALL THE COMPANIES UNITED.
Breach Of Faith in Regard to Rates Is
Punishable by Expulsion on a
Majority Vote.
NEARLY ALL THE COMPANIES UNITED.

The insurance rate war did not last long.
1t is over, and after noon to-day nobody in
San Francisco can get policy at cut rates.
The cessation of hostilities which BODIED
i'll for the coast insurance business was ef-
fected yesterday after discussion of sew
eral hours by the local managers.
1t has been decided that members of the
new compact caught breaking the agree
ment in regard to rates shall be peremp-
torily expelled from the new organization.
The Fireman's Fund managers, c. F.
Mullins of the Commercial Union, Arthur
E. Magill, who left the old compact, and
William ]. Landers, manager of the Sun
and Guardian companies of London, who
few days ago advertised cut rates of %
per cent, have signed the constitution.
A few managers are still out of the COM
pact, and most of them will sign to-day
before noon, when the new organization
will actually begin to make its power felt.
1t is largely due to the action of the
British companies in London last Friday on
the local upheaval that this prompt settle
ment of the difficulty is due. The British
companies instructed their local represen-
tatives to find some means of combining,
and no time was lost in satisfying their
desire.
The new compact is to be known as the
Board of Fire Underwriters of the Pacific
"One of the best features of the new Or
ganiZation is that the members must be
elected, which will have the effect of keep
ing out managers, should any man be un-
desirable, said John w. G. Cofran. "Our
constitution is very short document
even shorter than that of the last compact.
1t differs but trife in the matter of COM
mission and compensation, but it is strict
with regard to breach of faith among mem
bers. This thing of imposing money
penalty for violation of agreement to main
tain rates was wrong in principle.
eff man agrees with another to keep
faith, and then breaks it, the only thing to
do is to ostracize him. He is not to remain
in the same association with you and
under the same agreement that he has al
ready violated. This view was taken by the
Board of Underwriters. l believe it will
put an effectual stop to rebating and cut
ting rates.
''Some managers have not been invited
to join, but they are not of much impor-
lance as they cannot afford to cut rates"
