INSURANCE RATES CUT.
Result Of Small Number of Accidents
Among Light Beer Workers.

A reduction of 35 per cent in en-
ployers' liability insurance for en-
ployes of Missouri breWeries went
into effect last week. This virtually
is the only industry in which the
rates were cut. The new schedule,
affecting all Missouri industries,
recorded an average increase of about
33 per cent in rates.
The brewery Fate was reduced
from AZ cents to 27 cents per 500
of pay roll, and the distillery rate
was increased from IS cents to S1.25.
The companies did not decrease
the brewery rates out of friendliness
to the brewery owners, was the de-
.claration of E. " Thompson, presi-
dent of the Insurance Federation of
Missouri
'sThe cut in rates was ordered after
reports showing the experience of all
the casualty companies in Missouri
had been fled with the Workmen's
Compensation Bureau of New York, =
Thompson said The reports show
ed that the accidents in breweries
have been constantly decreasing.
..The lowness of the new brewery
rates indicates that the insurance
companies do not regard the drink
ing of light beers as causing any adj
dition to the hazard involved in the
insuring of a factory full of em-
ployes.
s.In fact, the companies have long
impressed upon their agents in cities
and towns throughout the country
that their experience has been that an
almost negligible number of acci-
dents have been caused through the
employees drinking of light beers,
although many accidents are attri-
butable to over-indulgence in more
