TO PROHIBIT Underwriters.
by for LeSixIatiOn to This
End

It is said an organization is being formed
quietly to keep up the agitation against
the underwriters combinations. 1t is
planned to prepare a bill to be introduced
in the legislatures Of all the states abso-
lutely prohibiting companies from forming
combinations to issue policies. This meth
cd will not be used if the insurance COM
missioners of the states can be made to
believe that these associations are illegal
under the present laws, but the results
so far indicate that few states have stat
utes sufficiently definite to prevent COM
binations of companies where the names
Of the individual concerns are printed on
the policies.
When the new rules of the Chicago I'm
derwriters' Association were being dis
cussed a delegation from the revision COM
mittee called upon the managers who OBJ
jected to the t~hree-agency limit on the
ground that it would give the
an advantage in the number of repre-
SentatiyeS and asked that they waive their
objections in the interest of the new rules.
They were told it would be much better
to agree to the t~hree-agency limit. The
underwriters were successful in this mat
ter. although 1t is proposed to ask a de-
ciSion of the executive committee as soon
as this rule goes into effect as to the right
of each of the combines to have more than
three agents for all the companies of which
1t is formed. In case this fails and the in
ruling to meet their wishes the anti-com-
bine managers will appeal to the Illinois
legislature for a new law to prohibit them
from doing business in this manner. They
believe the whole question of the agency
system rests on the question.
