EORPROTECT|ON
POLICY HOLDERS
Legislation Urged 10 Control
Industrial Insurance

Milwaukee. Aug 24.-ImpOrtant leg
islation for the control OF insurance
companies doing Industrial. health and
accident business Is proposed in the
report OF the special committee OF the
insurance commissioners Of the Unit
ed States. which was made public at
the sessions Of the convention here
yesterday.
The basis for the legislation as pro-
posed is given in reports OF the con-
stitution OF fourteen companies In
which nearly 1000 settlements effect
ed by these companies are examined.
In discussing the settlement OF these
claims the report says:
"Of the specific claims examined.
where the amount involved Is usually
considerable. the percentage OF scaled
or rejected claims is hgh--yery much
too high TO b. explained by error OF
judgment or carlessness. Indeed. the
committee feels warranted In eohclud-
Ing that when dealing with companies
doing an Industrial. health or accident
business. the policy holder-partica-
larry those who through ignorance OF
poverty are unable 70 protect them
selves and therefore are peculiarly
he wards OF government as represent
ed In this connectiOn-has Aoo FREE
quenily been the victim o. unconscl0n-
able practices In the claims depart
ments Of the companies criticised in
this report.
Promises Of reformation made al
