OPPOSITION TO THE BILLS
Insurance Men Argue Against the
Reform Laws Proposed by the
Armstrong Committee.

armstrong COUlIn1CCee.
Albany, n. Y, March 1O.-For near
ly thirteen hours yesterday and last
night members of the insurance COM
mittees of the two hours, as we'll as
members of the Armstrong insurance
investigating committee and other mem
bers of the legislature, listened to ar
guments advanced by heads of insur-
ance companies and others identified
with insurance business as to why the
more important of the bills introduced
in the Legislature by the Armstrong
committee should not become laws.
The insurance men said that they
based their main hope of getting
changes i'll the bills on the arguments
of agents. The agents say the bills
practically will legislate them out Of
office or more properly permit them to
work for no consideration whatever.
There are hundreds Of agents here
from every part of the state. But the
agents are not the only ones who criti-
else the committee bills. Paul Nor
ton: Alexander f. Orr, successor to
John A. Mccall, as head of the New
York Life and other practical insur-
ance men all said the bills as they
stand will work harm to the business.

STAND OF OHIO OPERATORS
They Will, 1t Seems, Clash with Those
of Illinois.

Columbus, O., March 1O.-According
to a statement made by E. III. Winder,
of Columbus. who was chairman of
the Ohio coal operators conference
held at Cleveland Thursday, the Ohio
operators are going to Indianapolis to
make a settlement, if possible. They
will ask that this settlement be made
on broad grounds applicable to the
entire competitive field, and that all
questions of local nature be left
solely for local settlement.
One of these is the dispute over shot
tirers in Illinois: run-Of-mine in Indi-
ana is another, and Ohio has several
matters which are of local in terest only.
The Ohio operators, it is said. will in
sist that the conference simply settle
the basis of the wage scale alone. and
that all other questions be left for
local adjustment. This may result i'll
local strikes, but would not tie up lie
entire field.
Whether Or not there is settlement
at Indianapolis there. will be prac-
Ilcal suspension OF mining during ADrll
and May. According to the statement
of Ohio operators the talk of strike has
resulted in immense quantities of coal
being accumulated. and already 25O,OOO
tons are loaded in lake vessels waiting
for navigation to start
The determination of the Ohio op-
orators will bring them into conflict
with those of Illinois, who a few DAYS
ago resolved that the meeting at Indi-
annapolis must settle the shot-firers
question for good.
