AGENTS Win THEIR FIGHT

Numerous Conferences Held Between
the Representatives, but the Le-
cal Agents Held Together
and Resigned.

The wires were kept hot during the past
two days carrying the designations of local
fire insurance agents who stood by their
agreement to force the companies back to
the single agency system and to abolish the
multiple agency plan. Numerous confer
ences were held at the Coates and Midland

sentatives of the various companies having
agencies here. The agents stood together
with such effect that, out of Us companies,
of which forty-two were double headers.
when the agents united in q demand for the
single agency system three months ago.
only twenty-five are now double headers.
The following have yielded to the demand
of the agents since it was presented the

Changes are taking place almost hourly.
and within the mex few days 1t is expected
that a large part of the remaining twenty
two double headers will come over to the
side of the majority.
The agents are elated over their victory,
and at the unanimity with which they stood
together.

ance representatives have been dropping
into town in squads. The Good Fellowship
