 Especial Hartford eaffesp9adenee.1
 Hartford On the invitation of h. surance Commissioner Burton Mans 6eld a conference was held ia the office of the commissioner in the cap ltol OH the quest9n of allowing a part time agent system to continue. Com. missioner Mansfield has already had two hearings on the matter. one at which he heard the companies side of the controversy, and another at which he listened to arguments tn support ef the position maintained by the agents. The commissioner thought that an amicable adjust ment Of the question would be reached by bringing representatives of the eomy yanies and Of the agents together in conference. and with that in mind he arranged for the meeting this afternoon
 The representatives Of the agents were Edward W. Beardsley, E. $. Cowles. F. F Small ] Henry Me Manus and Walter E Allen. The companies represented were the Travellers. the Aetna Life the Con necieut General the Hartford Fire and the Aetna Accident and Liabil ity. There was q disposition on both sides 1o realize thz hope of cue com missioner chat friendly arrange ment would be ra8eHed he repre-. sentatlyes of the agents conceded that the companies were entitled to have number Of meu ia their home offices. say ten or twleve. who should be allowed ta act as agentss 50 AS 10 give them au experience which would be advantaeeous to the companies em- ployiug them
 While the statutes of the state give the insurance commissioner power to refuse a license for any reason which he may consider sufficient and with out right of appeal when an applica- tion for an agents license was refus- ed the commissioner is reluctant to exercise the power. as he is inclined to think the statute was uneonstitu- tional
 At the previous hearing he read an opinion by the New York court of appeals in support of his view that he had not the constitutional power. even though he might have the statu- tory right 10 refuse a license without appeal Since then f is understood that the supreme court of Louisiauia has taken a view similar to that held by the New York court Of appeals.
