The public highway and its inn

The projected prosecution Of the Tn
derwriters' Association of the District
organized to regulate and control fire
insurance rates here-has been virtually
abandond by the District attorneys Of
authority.
In view OF recent judicial decisions.
District Attorney Laskcy and Assistant
District Attorney Archer are said to have
decided that under the existing reading
of the antitrust laws. the Underwriters
Association. which boosted fire insurance
rates on an average Of more than 100
per cent here. cannot be prosecuted as
a combination in restraint of trade.
1t is not improbable that Mr.. Laskey
will so inform the Department Of
Justice
Last winter, Mr.. I.askey. following an
investigation of complaints against the
new combination. transmitted to the De-
partment of Justice confidential re-
port on his investigation. This report
contained the following findings:
That as a result of the organization
OF the association. involving all fire in
surance underwriters in the District. min
imum fire insurance rates were increased
on brick dwellings from to Il cents
thousand, on frame dwellings from
12 to 35 cents a thousand. on contents
from 12 to p cents a thousand.
That such an increase was not only
the result. but the purpose of the or
ganization.
