 Of unusual interest. in view of crit icisms which have in the past frc- ouenfly been made of so-cslled Indus trial Insurance" is the recent report of the Honorable William IL. Hotchkiss. superintendent of insurance of New York Superintendent Hotchkiss' ex- aminers have in the last sixteen months made an exhaustive investiga- ton of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. and the report embodies their conclusions.
 Incidentally the report brings out other interesting information regarding the company It will probably come a s a surprise to many of our readers that the Metropolitan is not only fhe lead ing company in industrial insurance but that during the last year it wrote practically S150. .0VV. 900 ordinary insur- nnc-. the maximum permitted by the New York law. For q company that has been known in the past primarily As an industrial conpany this is d re- sunFkabIe showing If business written in foreign countries Other than Canada b< excluded. the Metropolitan wrote SEQ 0oo.0e0 more ordinary insurance than ifs nearest competitor. There are at present over $700. 100000 ordinary i11uraucc in force. and. includinE in- duClrisi insurance. over $2.2I 5000. ooo. 11 Let. the company was compelled to

stop issuing policies for which appli- cation was made during the last days of the year in order to keep within the law.
 Since Jan. 1, 1907. the company has twice increased the benefits on new policies 10 per cent, and has set aside over $4,000,000 additional reserve tc pay additions to policies in the shape of mortuary benefits.
 Summarizing his conclusions Su- perintendent Hotchkiss expresses his belief that industrial insurance with premiums payable weekly to collectors is a necessity for the industrial masses and that such insurance must be fur nished either by private corporations or by the state. In his opinion, how ever, the state is not ready to assume such a burden. We can readily believe that under the leadership of compa- nies like the Metropolitan, as shown by MT. Hotchkiss' report, industrial insurance is in safe hands, and its further development can wisely be left to such companies.
