NEW FEDERATION OF
INSURANCE AGENTS
Is ORGANIZED HERE
State Body Covering Life,
Fire and Casualty Brokers
Will Make War on Pro-
posed Obnoxious Laws.

Organization of the Insurance Fedora
ton OF pennsylvania has been completed.
1t has established temporary head
quarters In the rooms of the Fire Insur-
ance Society," in Fourth street near Wal
nut The federation Is made UP of life,
fire and casualty insurance agents and
brokers throughout the State.
In a letter to brokers and agents. ].
w. Henry, president OF the newly formed
federation, declares that the future of
the insurance agent in Pennsylvania is
In danger. and that there must be made
cooperative attack on laws, which, he
says, the next Legislature plans to put
through covering insurance regulation
and operation.
"As you are well aware" says Presi-
dent Henry "the insurance business has
been the subject of attack by Legislatures
in several States, and as you know, the
insurance agents of Ohio. West Virginia,
Washington and other States, have been
put out of business after working years
in building up their agencies. We are at
this time confronted in Pennsylvania with
a Legislature about to convene to give
consideration to measures vital to the
interests of the insurance agents in the
State of Pennsylvania, and we must be
prepared to meet the issue fairly by be-
ing organized into body that will WELD
such an influence as will grant to us as
agents and citizens of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania a right to continue in
the insurance business as a means of
livelihood. Had the agents been organ
lied in Ohio and other States, they would
still have their business.
IF the insurance business is attacked
and legislation passed which is detrimen-
tai to the business, there will be no
further need of the agent. The insur-
ance companies have no right to come
in and say what character of legislation
shall be passed, but We, as citizens, tax
payers and voters of this Commonwealth
should say what sort of legislation shall
be put upon our bread and butter.
"Only organization can save and per-
petuate to us the need of the agent in
Pennsylvania, and as fire insurance, work
mems compensation and life insurance
we know will be matters for considera-
tion by our next Legislature, we must
for the salvation of our business, be
organized in a compact body. working
hand in hand in Legislative matters to
safeguard our business"

ASSETS REALIZATION CO.
SITUATION IS IMPROVED
Report Made for Creditors Shows In
crease in Property Value.

The report prepared by G. NJ. p. MUIR
ply for the Creditors Committee of the
Assets Realization Company, which Is in
the hands of receivers, has been sub
initted to that body. His conclusions are,
In part, as follows:
The direct and contingent liabilities
nave been decreased by almost s., 100000
Altnough interest paid creditors and ex-
pehdltures In Improvement of the COM
panys property aggregate 39le99, cash

OF nnahclal reorganization has been or
ls erected in the Breakwater Company,
the Simms Magnetic Company, the United
states Worsted Company, the Bitter Root
galley Irrigation Company, the Art Metal
Soistructlon e,,In Company and the United
states Metal Products Company.
The Aladdin and Armstrong mines have
peeh sold: the Hardware and Wooden
ware syndicate has been closed; the A sh-
icy Bailey Company liquidation has
peen practically completed; the Morris
urk estates have been financed beyond
the period of the maturity of their mort.
cages, and their direct obligations have
Deen reduced by approximately $4,000.
The stock of the Stewart Mining Com
pahy' In which the company was largely
interested, has, after serious litigations
with IF. A. Heinze, been sold at a salts
factory price, and the situation of the
United Copper syndicate has thus been
improved. The distressing situations of
the Kenwood Contracting Company, the
Placita Ranch Company and the Swenson
Land Company have been adjusted on
terms more satisfactory than could be
justinably anticipated. The Kings High
way Company has been sold, and the
Fifth Avenue Investing and Improvement
Company saved from what threatened to
be complete destruction.
without obi. cation on our part, $22j,O0O
has been obtained for the developments
of the Gage Park property. Fixed annual
operations have been reduced to the ex-
tent of s1I7,l95, and great variety of
small assets of the company have been

NOTES OF THE RAIL

A decrease of 8 per cent. per mile in
total operating revenue of railroads in
June compared with the same month OF
last year is shown in the summary OF
the Bureau of Railway Economics. The
summary also shows that there was a
decrease in operating expenses OF Al per
cent. The net operating revenue per mile
was S23 smaller, or 7 per cent, when COM
pared with June. 1913
With the intention of breaking up the
practice of passengers riding on plat
forms of moving passenger cars, the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad has posted no.
tices on bulletin boards of the Pittsburgh
Division warning passengers of the dan
ger in SO doing.
Through lost advertisement a passen-
ger on the Maryland Division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad recovered 800
which he had lost on the platform in
Broad street station and which was
picked up by a brakeman and held by
the company until the owner was found.
Officials of the PENNSYLVANIA saw the ad-
vertisement. which appeared once, got
into communication with the man ana

six months cruise on sailing vessel, was

having accepted the city ordinance gov
erning the undertaking. This involved
the payment to the city of S315, S05 and
few weeks ago there was danger that the
enterprise would be delayed In anticipa-
tion of difficulty in raising the money,
owing to the war. This appears to have
been overcome. The work is to be COM
pleted in five years.
Statistics show that only n little more
than 3 per cent. of the passenger cars
turned out last year We're OF wooden con-
structon, and in n few years those OF
wood will have disappeared from the
principal arteries of travel, if not from all
roads. In the coming year all postal cars
must be of steel. In the four years ended
January |, 1913, steel passenger cars in
creased in number from 500 10 727i. and
steel underframe cars from 673 to 1896,
each of the former costing $4,000, which
serves to indicate how expensive it is to
the railroads to make the change to metal
equipment,
