DROP FORGING COMPANY
IS IN RECEIVERS HANDS
To Put Company on Sound Finan-
cial Basis Friendly Suit Is En-
tered by Heavy Stakeholder.

In order that the business Of the Indian
apolis Drop Forging Company might be put
on a better running basis IL was agreed
among the heaviest creditors of the COM
pany, including the Crucible Steel Company,
of Pittsburg, that a friendly suit should be
instituted by Philemon NJ. Watson, secre-
tary-treasurer of the company, asking for
the appointment of a receiver to operate the
plant for a time. The company has liabili-
ties amounting TO $35 600. and it was agreed
that the receivers should pay off the liabili
ties and put the company a financial

STATE BREAKS RECORD
IN INSURANCE LICENSES
Issues 1864 Permits and Collects
Over 100000 in Fees and Taxes
from Companies.

Cyrus w. Neal. head of the insurance de-
partment or the office of the auditor of
state. yesterday completed his accounts
pertaining to the business done by the in
surance department during the year just
ended. According to the account 1854
licenses were issued to insurance agents in
the State during the past year. In this
number, 10 insurance companies are repre-
sented, but the companies are all outside of
the State. as Indiana companies are not
compelled TO issue licenses 10 their agents
or TO pay taxes. Although the number of
licenses is very high, there are but 5000
insurance agents in the State The large
difference in the number of agents and the
number of licenses issued is because one
agent may carry licenses from twenty or
thirty companies. Some agents are known
TO have as many as forty and fifty licenses,
representing as many companies.
The past year in the insurance department
of the State broke all former records in
point Of receipts received from the insur-
ance companies. over $50 900 more in taxes
and fees was collected last year by the
department than In any former year. The
large receipts of the department show a
corresponding surplus IN the income of the
companies over other years, as the COM
panies pay into the department 3 per cent
on the gross premium after actual losses
are deducted. Mr.. Neal said that last year
was the most successful year the insurance
companies have ever had.

STRIKING FLOOR-[AyERS
MUST JOIN BROTHERHOOD
Carpenters National Body Has
Jurisdiction Over Them, Declares
President Gompers, of A. F. L.
CHARTER IS REVOKED

BY a decree of the American Federation
Of Labor. the charter of the local union
No. sO75 OF the Hardwood Floor Layers. of
this city, has been revoked and the MEM
bers OF the union have been commanded
to become part Of the United Brotherhood
OF Carpenters and Joiners. The news, 1t
Is understood, is not at all TO the liking
Of the Floor Layers Union, who have not
shown any desire to transfer themselves
TO the carpenters organization. although
repeated efforts have been made TO have
them do so.
The United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners claim Jurisdiction over all hard
wood floor layers and have been endeavor-
ing TO bring the local union of floor layers
into it's organization. Because of the un-
willing attitude of the majority OF the floor
layers. the matter was referred to the ex-
ecutive council of the American Federation
of Labor by the carpenters. A letter was
received yesterday by Frank Duffy. secre-
tary OF the United Brotherhood of Carpen-
ters from President Gompers. confirming
the claims Of the carpenters and revoking
the charter of the floor layers.
The following excerpt from President
Gompers's letter embodies the main points
OF the decision: II beg TO advise you that
after careful consideration Of the entire
subject matter, the council decided that the
charter of Local No. q75 should be with
drawn and members of that union should
become part Of your brotherhood l have
so advised the secretary of Local No. 9075
and | trust that you will do all that you
can 10 have a transfer of Local No. 9075
made to your brotherhood without further
friction or controversy"
NOT INTERNATIONAL BODY.
The local union of hardwood layers is not
a national organization, although II is aftil-
lated with the American Federation of
Labor. The members OF the union have
been involved in strike for the past week
with several of their firms. but the dis
agreement between them and the employers
was adjusted yesterday by the signing of
the last years wage scale. However, there
Is an unsigned agreement between the en-
plOyers and the wOrkmen that for better
work done the men shall be advanced in
earning according TO their merit. Work
was resumed in the firms yesterday morn
ing In all there are about forty hard
wood floor layers in the city, members OF
the local union.
At the headquarters of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and JOiners
yesterday. IL had not been decided whether
the union would be taken I'm a local or
whether the members would be transferred
as individuals. President Huber and Secre-
tary Duffy were in favor of the latter
method. James l.. McQueary is secretary
of the local union of hardwood floor layers.
