Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1898-03-18

In a letter to the Citizen, j.. N. Pat
ton, secretary Of the Pacific Mutual
Life Insurance company OF California,
states that the item recently clipped
into these columns from the Lords
burg LIRERAL, wherein It says that
there has been so much trouble over
claims against the Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance company, where it has had
the privilege Of insuring Southern
Pacific employees, that the railroad
has refused TO assist the company any
more and has turned the business over
to the Travellers, is false in almost
every particular. Mr.. Patton says his
company is noted for its promptness
and fair dealing with claimants, and
IL has had no trouble with the South
err Pacific company or its employees,
aud such company has not turned over
It's business to other insurance COM
panies.-Albuquerque, Citizen. Not
-withstanding the statement of Mr..
Patton, he wrote a similar letter to
the LIBERAL, the agent of the Travel
ler's was In Lordsburg at the time the
item in question was printed, and be
showed the LIBERAL the papers which
showed his company was doing acct
dent Insurance business for the South
ern Pacific company, and he stated to
the Liberal that the business for
merly done by the Pacific Mutual had
been turned over to the Travellers.
As regards dissatisfaction with the
Pacific Mutual, it has existed, and it
is notorious in this section Of the
country, especially in the Gallardo
case and in the Petersen case, and
when Mr.. Patton says there is no dis
satisfaction he is either talking lgnor-
antly, or.is trying to cover up the
compauy's record in this section.
