INSURANCE CONDITIONS DIRE
AGENTS DISCUSS VARIOUS ME
THCDS TO RELIEVE SITUATION.
They May Affiliate With the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor-Presi-
dent Wears a Shirtwaist.

Milwaukee, Aug. S1-"BIillions for
comfort, but not a cent for STYLE" said
President Woodwork, as he called
to order the convention Of the National
Association OF Local Fire Insurance
agencies today, taking off his coat and
conducting the netting attired in d
shirt visit.
The first speaker was Henry H. Put
ram Of Boston,
Discussing the present situation IN
the fire insurance he said:
THE business today is in a state of
turmoil end distress which we are
told by veteran underwriters is I'M
precede1ted since the Chicago and Bos-
ton fires Tariffs are far too low to pro-
vide for a normal rate of burning; eX-
penses are higher than ever before;
agents are multiplying, industrial
changes are threatening the interests
OF both companies and agents; broker
ages and overhead writing are under
mining the business Of agents, While
legislation promises a revolution in
the rate making methods which have
been pursued by the companies for
three-luarters OF a century
He declared that. in view of the eX-
1raOrdinary circumstances confronting
the business of fire insurance as a
whole. the time was ripe for the ap-
DOiIatment Of q fire conference commit
tee by the national association repre-
senting the different sections as well
with similar conference commit
tees from the national board of
fire writer's, the New England
and insurance exchange, the
Eastern union, the Southwestern
Tariff association, the Western Union
and the Pacific coast board, during
October and November for the purpose
of discussing and if possible formulat-
ing a programme upon the following
subjects: Rate legislation. cOmpensa-
ton, multiple agencies overhead writ
ing. brOkerages and trust lines
At this afternoons session George p
Sheldon of the National Underwriters
associations. delivered an address. The
cali of states was then continued and
conditions in fire insurance circles from
all over tie country were recited-
President Woodwork said that the
idea of the suggestion made by Al l.
Styles of Texas, that agents organize
and affiliate with the American
Federation of Labor, was simply for
the protection of agents from hostile
legislation in states where antitrust
laws are applied to insurance Organiza-
lions. In Texas, Missouri ana
Arkansas, labor organizations are ex-
empt from the provisions of the anti
trust laws and so the local insurance
agents from labor unions The plan
has been successful in Texas

NEW LOS ANGELES LINE.
Railroad Officials Believe the Road is
a Certainty.


The positive assurances made by ].
Ross Clark in Los Angeles, a brother
of Senator w. A. Clark, that the Los
Angeles Terminal road will be extend
ed to Salt Lake, is looked upon by
railroad men as having been spoken
authoritatively, as ne is the man in
charge of the millionaire's vast Ca1ifor-
MIA interests.
Vice President Bancroft of the Short
Line gave it as his opinion yesterday
that the road would be a sure go, but
when asked if the new line would form
a connection with the Short Line in
southern Utah, he disclaimed any
knowledge of the intentions of the pro-
motors of the proposed line and said
all he knew about it was what he had
read in the daily papers.
The Los Angeles road was the topic
of conversation everywhere yesterday
and business men were generally pleas
ed With the prospect of the early COM
pletiOn of the new line, which will mean
a great increase in the population of
the city within the next few years and
open I'D a new country for trade
At first 1 thought the report was too
good to be true, but it looks now as if
there is much foundation to the ru-
NOR, said a. w. McCune. Should
this line be bUilt 1T will prove to be a
great blessing and benefit to every en-
terpriSe and industry in Utah. I will
gladly hail the building of a line from
that end, because 1t will give us a
chance to do something from this end
1t viii be good thing for the Utah &
Pacific and Will give a new impetus to
a good many sleeping enterprises here.
1t has been stated that I am opposed
TO the project, but that certainly is far
from my Thought A."

IN THE COURTS.
CIT YsUED FOR DAMAGES.
Sawyer, the Ice Man, Wants 81, 334
For Spelling His Crop.

Salt Lake City was yesterday made
defendant in an action commenced in
the district court by a. B. Sawyer,
successor in interest to the Mountain
Ice company, to recover damages in the
sum of 81, 334 It is alleged in the com
plant that Notwithstanding that by q
decree of the court, dated Jan 2, 1897,
emitting him to the uSufructOry right
to two-thirds of the natural flow of the
waters of Parley's canyon creek from
Nov. Is to March in each year for
the purpose of harvesting ice at the
mouth Of the canyon. the defendant
caused the flow Of water to be diverted.
This act, it is alleged, committed con-
tindOuSly between Nov 20, 1888, and
March 1, 1899, spoiled his ice crop and
prevented him from gathering ice that
was marketable. Damages are claimed
in the sum of 81 334 for the loss OF ice
he was making at the time the water
was cut off, as alleged, and the further
sum of $4,000, the amount claimed the
seasons profits would have been on
4,5OO tons of ice that would have been
harvested If the city officials had not
interfered with his rights.
