INSURANCE
CONFERENCE
Mass Meeting Proposed For
DeviSing Plan Under
New Law.

Louisville, KY, March 20.-The
first hopeful sign of an adjustment
of differences between the fire insu-
rance companies of Kentucky and
the state Insurance board was recog-
nized in the announcement that lead
ing business and commercial organi-
cations of Louisville had received a
letter from Commissioner of Insur-
ance Ruby Laffoon suggesting mass
meeting at which the insurance situ-
alton may analyzed and some agree
ment reached whereby the compa-
MES and the state may get together
mutually on working basis under
the Greene Glenn insurance law.
Immediately upon receipt of the
letter from Mr.. Laffoon the business
men held conference in the Com
mercial club and after accepting the
Commissioners proposal, appointed a
committee to take up the question
with Mr.. Laffoon and fix date for
the conference, which will be held in
Louisville.
Bankers and business men are
more interested in devising some
plan of cooperation by which credits
will be restored than anything else,
and it is likely that the meeting in
Louisville will revolve around this
important question. Since the en-
actment of the Greene Glenn bill and
the withdrawal of more than ninety
of the 100 insurance companies from
Kentucky, all lines of business have
suffered to such an ext mt that alarm
is felt by the most conservative ele-
ment and general depression in bust
ness is feared.
