New England Exchange Blames
 War for New Increase MAY BE ONLY TEMPORARY
Schedule in Effect Today, Says Order From BOStOn-BuSinCSS Affected by Changed Economic Conditions, Is Plea-Disappointme to Officials.

Mayor George A. Quig1ey and agents and officers of the New Britain Underwriters Association today re- ceived information from the New England Insurance Exchange stating that effective today all fire insurance rates would be subject to a general advance of 10 per cent. With this in formation on hand, dashed are the hopes of the administration which has been working for lowered rates gone are the hopes of the fire commission CTS who had hoped by the lesta blish- ment of an efficient department to in f1uence the insurance companies to lower the rates here, and apparently useless are the efforts of the New Britain Underwriters, who also had hoped to lower rates here.
 War Is Blamed.
 As in the case of everything else where the prices have gone soaring, the excuse given Is that the cost of the war is the cause. Following is the letter announcing the boost in the rates:
 Boston, Mass,
 Nov. 17, 1917 To All Agents:
 We are handing you, herewith, promulgation of general ad- vance in rates of 10 per cent effective on November 19, and which you have, no doubt, been long expecting.
 The insurance business is no different from any other, and conditions which demand gen. eral increase in prices, affecting all lines of business, because of the increased cost of doing busi- ness. and the increased expense in the way of taxes to maintain the defense of our country, pro- duce the same results with the business of insurance.
 When expenses and taxes, which must be met from pre- mium rectipts, are raised, the rate which produces the premium receipts must also be raised.
 It needs no explanation here as to how the cost of doing busi- ness has risen. We all realize this reflected in all lines of work, well as in the cost of living.
 It is hoped that this emer- gency measure may be tempor- ary, as the exchange applies the recently adopted analytic system of rating. throughout it's terri tory, new and revised tariffs will be issued, based on the necessi- ties of the various classes of risks, and of the various localt- ties.
 We know that we do not need to ask agents to place this advance before their customers in it's true light; because it should prove an easy task, especially as almost every other line of business has already anticipated us, but in a much more drastic manner.
 Very truly yours
 c. M. GODDARD,
 Secretary.

REPORTED TO AUTHORITIES

Federal Administration Decides Mer-

 Force Sale of Other Commodities
 With Sugar Purchase.
 Complaint that the Peoples Butter Store in Simons' block on Main street was guilty of "com bination sales" by which customers who wanted to buy sugar were forced to spend $1.50 on other articles. has been made to the local authorities and has been re- ferred to United States District At torney Thomas J. Spellacy, Robert Scoville, federal food administrator for Connecticut, and George M. Lan- ders, chairman of the food commit tee of the Connecticut Council of De- fense.
 tempted to buy sugar at the Peoples Butter Store reported that he was un- able to do so unless he also invested in other commodities to the extent of $1.50. This he refused to do and hastened to lay his complaint before the proper persons. As such matters are taken care of by federal officials he was referred to Messrs. Spellacy, Scoville and Landers

People Complain of "Hold Ups"

1orcement or the ruling of the United States food administrator against "com bination sales" will begin in Connecticut. This will be based OF the telegrams received Saturday by Robert Scoville, the state food admin istrator, and which was aimed to reach sugar profteers. Nearly all the complaints received by the state administrator last week were from l people who felt that they were being held up' by merchants who refused to sell them two pounds of sugar, un- less they bought certain other food- stuffs.
 The complaints also were aimed at the small dealers who did not seem to come under the federal law in that they do not do a business of $1O0,0OO year or more and so do not re- Quire a license from Washington. So many were these complaints against merchants who were selling sugar to preferred customers who were them selves willing to buy other articles that the legal experts got busy and read the law up to the point where they felt that compulsory purchas- ing of unasked for foodstuffs might | possibly be a wasteful practice and | as such forbidden by law.
 
 has been keeping a careful record of 1 all details of alleged "hold ups' re- ported last week and by authority of 1 the telegram received Saturday night { it will proceed to enforce the law. ! "Combinat tton sales are forbidden ex- { cept that dealer may sell a pound 1 of sugar with two pounds of corn meal There is no other exception. New Order in Force.

 "On and after this date all conn., bination sales of food commodities are forbidden except as stated below. Sales of one or more other food com modities from the seller is regarded as com mbination selling within meaning of the ruling. Combination sales
