RIOT INSURANCE
RIGHTS PLANNED

New fire insurance legislation, which
may deal with insurance against loss
from earthquakes and civil riots, NAV
be presented to the Legislature, which
will begin its session on January 5, as
the result of a conference which a num-
Der of Hartford insurance presidents
and other high insurance officials of the
state had with Insurance Commissioner
Burton Mansfield at the Capitol 1t was
said that it had not been decided wheth-
er proposed legislation is to be submit
ted to the Legislature by the insurance
commissioner, or by the insurance COM
panles.
Interest in earthquake and riot in
surance is high at this time because of
the recent reports of earthquakes in
various parts of the country. Earth
quakes are complicated by fire losses
which are involved by such disasters
and these points are said to be of spe-
cia1 concern to the insurance interests
of the state. The prevalence of civil
riots in this country in recent years,
especially the outbreaks reported this
year, has stirred insurance officials to a
consideration of this risk.
Connecticut fire insurance companies
already have wide latitude in assum-
ing risks. Many of these risks are of a
nature really similar to destruction that
is caused by an earthquake. A riot in a
community can result IN much deStruc-
ton and ruin to homes and mercantile
establishments, but under the state
statutes, earthquake and riot risks can
not be assumed by the states insurance
companies. Among the dangerous risks
that fire insurance companies may in
sure against are cyclones, explosions,
hail, lightning, tornadoes, war and wind.

SUPREME COURT
UPHOLDS THE OHIO
COMPENSATION LAW

The supreme court of the United
States has denied a permanent injunc-
ton in the case of Frank c. Thornton
VS.. T. J. Ducy, thereby sustaining the
Ohio courts and affirming the constitu-
tionality of the Ohio Workmen's Com
pensation law. The law, duplicate of
which will be offered in Connecticut
this year, provides that employers may
be given the privilege of ''self-insur-
ance' and pay compensation direct if
they do not desire to insure the pay
ment thereof or indemnify themselves
against loss sustained by the direct pay
ment thereof"
This litigation resulted from the de-
mands of the Ohio State Federation of
Labor that the provisions of the Work.
mems Compensation law be enforced
Only the desire of the liability insur-
ance companies to make a profit out
of the workers injured and killed in in
dustry has been back of the injunction
suits.
