Federal Control OF insurance Subject
of Discussion.
Washington, Feb. ActfKg under
instructions of the house the judiciary
committee has begun an investigation
in order that it may report whether OF
not congress has the power to provide
federal control of insurance. That
this authority does exist was main
Omaha, chairman of the insurance
committee of the American Bar asso
citation. At the August meeting OF
this association at Narragansett Pier
Mr.. Breckenridge made a motion to
have his committee instructed by the
association to prepare bill providing
such control. The opposite view of
. the question was presented to the
committee by George Whitelock of
Baltimore. The Bar association, by a
vote of 113 to 20, sent to its insurance
committee for consideration a resolu-
ton declaring federal control of insur-
anae illegal and unconstitutional I'm
der the decisions Of the supreme court
of the United States.
Mr.. Whitelock was the author of
that resolution and presented that
view to the committee. Mr.. Breeken-
ridge presented statistics to show
that the insurance business was ma
tional and not local in character. Of
twenty of the largest life insurance
companies, he said, but Is per cent of
their business was done in the states
r wherein they were chartered.
