another and finally sold to the con
sumner at outrageous prices.
"The vast majority of business men
and workmen are sincere and fair. but
there is and perhaps always VIII be q

He urged that the observance and

''If laws shall be enforced and peace

moved Hampering Restrictions.

The Union Mutual Fire Insurance
Co. has filed an amendment to its arti-
cles of association with the secretary
of state A hearing took place earlier
in the month when Commissioner J. g..
Brown gave his consent TO the modifi-
cation of the charter. II was like most
of the old fire insurance companies in
the state. that if they held strictly to
the provisions Of their charters they
would have some trouble in writing
the present lines OF insurance. The I'm
ion Mutual removed many obsolete sec
tions from the charter by amendment.
The company wanted to do that last
year but had to wait until the statutes
were changed 50 that i could be done
on a vote Of three fourths of the direc-
tors rather than three-fourths of the
policyholders for it would be impossible
to get referendum from the, policy
holders.
