Action of t.riou. Executive boards
in Regard he Rates.


a meeting Of the executive board of The
local fire insurance companies was held
tct.ay for the purpose Of taking action
IN regard to a resolution offered at the
last meeting of the Association of Fire
Underwriters of the District. and which
will come up at Il meeting of the lat
ter body to he held next week. This reso-
luton provides for reduction in the rates
on what known here as preferred bus
mess. namely, houses. from - cents on the
hundred to II cents.
The representatives, of the local compa-
MES placed themselves on record as be-
ing unalterabiy opposed to such a
Guction. In fact. when 1t was offered
at the meeting of the association The
local men then stated that if such action
Were taken the local companies would with
draw from the board or association. Fur
Their consideration. as stated was post
poned 70 the meeting which VIII be held
next week.
Mat effect this determination on the part
Of helocal companies will have on the action
Of the board ct underwriters al the com

il Is quit" likely that this circumstance

the fact that the Potomac Company and
others have already been suspended from
the board because Of their refusal to com
ply with a recent regulation placing a limit
ON the number of ag' utS to he employed by
each company. There is no question that
the relations Of the fire Insurance COM
panies very much strained. and that
as result the existence of tn" prcse Mt
voluntary organization Of insurance agents
known as the Association OF Fire Unucr-
writers is threatened.
1t is now said that The r"presentatfv Of
al. the companies are To hC brought together
for the purpose Of considering the situation

The dangers of a rate war. while not looked
upon remote, IRE fully realized by all
conc crned. ana it is said that none of the
companies relish thc decentralization and
loss which contest carried TO such an OK

that basis of agreement will be reached.
What that viii be exactly ii is difficult to
predict, but it Is not at ali unlikely that out
Of III" conflict of interests an adjustment
Will lie reached which Will require the for

which Pope Leo and Cardinal Rampola
had received the archbishop.
