TO COLLECT FULL FIRE INSURANCE
BILL TO COMPEL THE COMPANIES TO PAY
THE AMOUNT NAMED IN POLICIES.
Albany Jan. % (SpeciaD.-Assemblyman Bryan, Of
Jefferson County. will introduce bill tomorrow to
compel fire insurance companies to pay the full
amount of insurance named in their policies in case
of total loss. In explaining the purpose OF the
measure to-day Mr.. Bryan said to Tribune corre-
spondent:
The bill should become a law for several reasons
First, to protect the policy holder from the inter
position of the appraisng experts. AS the law now
stands may insure his house for 5000. and
expert will look into the matter and declare
that the house not worth more than N.OO or
81, 500. There is only appeal from the decision
of the expert. and since that is to the courts. In
curing such process does, indefinite expense
the owner almost always gives up. Then, too. the
expert makes 1t his business TO prove the Value or
the property be low possible, whereas
the owner is defenceless from being novice
A second reason in favor of the bill is the fact
that to a great extent it will prevent the burning
of property for the insurance. II the insurance
companies know that they must pay the full
amount at which certain piece OF property is in
sured, they will that II is not appraised in
the first place beyond its value. consequently the
whole motive of burning property In order TO get
the insurance money IS removed
In the third place the insurance companies now
sessed insurance policies. II house Is assessed at
S. 900 in the policy and it is only worth SUQ, the
premium charged is just 5-3 OF what 1t ought to
be. The company cannot lose anything, since IN
case the house burns the expert would appraise
the property at 200 considerably less.

CURIOUS CUCKOOS.

The cuckoo is generally known only as a bird
with very nonotonous note; a continuous
cry OF "cuckoo cuckoo" over and over again
Among naturalists, however the cuckoo is known
bird that never builds a nest for itself but
takes advantage of already built by some
more industrious bird
There is great deal of the cuckoo about these
advertisers, who, instead of making a success of
their own, seek to profit by the success which some
one else has made with much effort and labor It
is so with those limitations of Dr. Pierces methods
by which free medical advice is offered, although
those who make the offer are without qualified
medical ability experience. And the cry raised
IN some cases of woman, woman woman write
10 woman makes the resemblance to the cuckoo
even stronger.
There is as far as known no qualified woman
physician connected with any proprietary med-
cine establishment, and none therefore competent
20 give medical advice II is certain that there is
no one, man or woman, who can offer free medi-
cal advice backed by such knowledge and expert
ence as is possessed by Dr.. r. V. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Worlds Dispensary,
Buffalo, n Y. For over thirty years Dr.. Pierce
has made speciality of the treatment of diseases
peculiar TO women. In that time he has treated
over half-a-nlilliou women, ninety-eght per cent
of whom have been perfectly cured Every sick

APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC.
Suburban Employees Not Satisfied
With the Conference.

Attorney Fen F. Clark. representing the
Grievance Committee of the employees OF
the Suburban road. called on President
Turner and Superintendent Jenkins OF the
road yesterday morning al MIR. Turner's
office in the Wainwright building. and tried
to get them to agree to arbitrate their dif-
fcrences with their employees. This Mr..
Turner refused to do saying that the COM
pany could adjust its differences with their
men without outside influence.
Attorney Clark then asked Mr.. Turner to
meet a committee of their employees. MIR.
Turner and Mr.. Jenkins consented TO meet
the committee at o'clock at their offices
at peHodiamont-
Mr.. Jenkins. ii is said. tried to convince
the committee that the grievances were not
well founded. and ne also explained fully
the answers he gave To them when the men
stated their grievances a few days before.
The committee was not satisfied when 1t
left. and the result of its conference with
the heads of the railroad company Wa
made known to the men at the meeting held
last night at Muth's Hall. on Chouteau ave
nue. and Sarah street.
The men were not satisfied with the re-
suit of the meeting in the afternoon. They
say that they will strike if their demands;
are not granted. Tho secretary of thS
union issued the following statement:
We feel that we have exhausted every
means, i'll our power to reach an honorable
settlement of our differences. We believe
our requests TO be just and reasonable. Our
main grievance Is the persistent fight of
the management of the railroad company
against our organization. NoiwithSta nding
MIR. Jenkins's statement that man has
been discharged for belonging to the union.
nor would there be. still the fact remains
that within the past two weeks some fif-
teen or twenty men have been discharged.
Every one of these men are members Of
the union No man not member Of the
Union has been discharged.
In some cases there has been no reason
given for the discharge of the men. In 9TH
erS the charges given were untrue, and in
Others the reasons given were trivial and
absurd. Mr.. Jenkins now says that IL any
man who thinks he has been discharged for
belonging to the union. will come to tho
Supcrintendent's office he will be given a
fair and impartial hearing. hut when asked
il he would conduct his Investigation In the
presence of a committee representing the
union or one member of such 1t committee
hr said that he would not.
I'm view Of all the facts in the case the
members of the union feel that unless
these wrongs are righted they will be COM
PEELED in self-re.spect to cease operating the
cars on the Suburban system. until an AM
icable settlement has heen made.
I'VE protest against this persistent fight
against our organization. and the importa-
ton of scab labor to supplant tried and ef-
f;cient men. We appeal to the public.
whom VIC have served in past years, 20 sup
port us in our struggle for Justice. and We
also appeal to organized labor in this city
and vicinity to cooperate with u.s.
