Insurance Men
To Go on Strike

NEW YORK, July %. - Agents
and collectors employed by the Pru-
Dental Insurance Co. were called out
on strike Monday BY a union re-

ance Agents Protective association.
with a membership of 5000. AL
though claims of the company and
the union were conflicting, it ap-
peared Monday night that at least
500 men in this district have re-
sponded to the strike call thus far.
The men demand better pay,
recognition of the union and more
reasonable" working hours. Tele-
grams from branches Of the union
in different cities in the territory
east Of Chicago, leaders here de-
clared, indicated that unless the de-
mands of the men are met all the
5000 will follow the lead Of those
already out About 5000 agents
and collectors are employed by the
company throughout the country.
The lack of sufficient collectors to
see that premiums are turned in at
the proper time, the strikers assert,
will result in the cancellation of
thousands of policies. The company,
anticipating the strike, has an
nounced that arrangements are be-
ing made TO protect policy holders
and 70 have the strikers replaced by
exDeripDced men The cOmOanv an
nounced that none of the men who
walked out would be reinstated I'M

tbat, strength on this market con.
tinues, and buying by rehncrs has, all
l.of this week, given a very healthy tone
ITO the~whole situation. The American
has been the largest buyer, and as a
rule the preferences has been given to
sugars in nearby positions at SC q. & r.
for Cubas. Owing to the low freight
prevailing at the moment, this price is
much better for the Cuban than the

1T was difficult to prove anything. II
is known now that the stock in store
of ono importer has been reduced with
