At Meeting Held in Chicago of West
ern Managers Of Big Companies
Goes Into Effect Over
Whole Country.

Chicago, April 26.-There will be {
general advance in fire insurance rates
in the business centers of all cities IL
the near future to enable the com
panies to recoup in a measure theil
San Francisco losses.
A meeting of the Western managers
was held in Chicago today to discuss
the situation. The governing commit
tee of the Western Union, the large
legislative body of the West, decided
that, in the face Of present conditions,
an advance must be made. Eastern
officials had advised their Western
men 30 prepare for the increase, and
the meeting approved the plan.
Company officials meeting in the
East decided that the advance should
go into effect Simultaneous over the
country. To that end they asked the
Western Union 10 send a committee
of five persons to attend a general
meeting to determine the nature and
plan OF action. A similar committee
will attend from the South.
President J. w Cofran, of the West
ern Union, said that the Western com
mittee would be appointed tomorrow.
1t is stated that the Western Union
will see to 1t that adequate rates are
charged on classes that are now con
sidered Improbable, and that charges
for defects in riskswill be insisted
upon.
Nothing will be done as to Chicago
rates until the officials and managers
get together and decide what plan will
be followed.
The governing committee of the
Western Union has been organized |
with Law Brothers, managers, of the
Royal, as chairman.
