Rail Signalmen Meet
To Consider Wage Cut

eastern resentatives Of the Broth
erhood OF Railroad Signalmen Of Amer
ica began two-day conference yester-
day Ar the Hotel Commodore to discuss
the situation arising out Of the deci-
sion OF the Railroad Labor Board at
fecting wages hours and other CON
dltions Of labor
The conference is in line with the
action taken by the Big Four" broth
erhoods, who requested the Railroad
Executives Conference not to put the
reduction Of wages into effect at pres
ent. This request was denied at -
meeting Of the executives on Thurs
day.
The principal subject discussed at
the conference Of the signalmen yes
terday was the recent decision Of the
Railroad Labor Board calling for a
reduction or eight cents an hour in the
wages Of railroad signalmen, and six
cents an hour for the helpers. This
REDUCTION vas made retroactive to
July /.
The Brotherhood Of signalmen is
strongly opposed to the reduction, but
whether il would back up its opDosi-
ton 20 the extent Of striking Gould
not be ascertained.
ne meeting was presided over by
+. l.. Kramlich, member Of the eY-
ecutiye board Of the brotherhood and
general chairman Of the New York
central lines cast Of Buffalo. y a.
McQuade, secretary Of the conference,
announced thai action on the subject
would he taken before the conference
adjourned, and also that action would
be taken on the matters Of h0urs and
general conditions.

was based upon the mistaken assump-
tlon that the insurance companies have
been collecting from the public pre-
mlums very much larger than were ade
quate to pay losses and expenses plus
reasonable profit. and that the com
panies had prepared their statements in
such way a. to conceal the supposed
excessive profits
His views regarding the profits Of
stock companies are quite pertinent
also. He says:
At this point we wish to state IS
emphaticaly as possible that the fire
insurance corr panies have made more
money during The last five years than
they ever before made, or are likely TO
make again in any SINH ar period, but
even then the return upon the amount
of money risked daily in their business

it was very substantial

Bcst's Testimony ON

Criticizedb by Morton
Discussion of Changes ia
Reserving Laws and His
Views on Earnings Out
Of Place, Says Statement

The Tribune received yesterday a
communication from John B. Morton,
president of the National Board Of Fire
Underwriters, calling attention to the
published statements of Alfred NJ. Best
that his testimony before the Lockwood
Committee recommending changes in
state insurance laws involved no direct
criticism Of fire insurance companies.
The witness was contending for
changes in the reservng laws Of the
states in force for many years" Mr..
Morton says, (which, he held. would
clarity the statements required Of stocl +.
fire insurance companies. We submit.
however, that such an academic discus
sion was out of place in an eX parte
hearing, as was also the WITNESSES per
scnal views that interest earnings on
these reserves should be considered a
part of the underwriting instead of the
investment account. In neither case
would there be marked change in the
status of the companies themselves.
though the futility of attempting TO
amend the present reserve laws of
forty-eight states must be obvious TO
all. The profits not being too great as
the witness himself agrees, and divi-
dends having been paid largely from in
terest earnings on Investments anyway
the present rates neither would nor
could be affected.
at was in the discussion of these
academic subjects, at all events, that
most of the misundersta nding arose. all
of which row leads the witness to re-
mark that there is no basis whatever
for the widespread criticism of the fire
insurance companies which has appeared
in the daily press since the examina-
ton of Mr. Best by the Lockwood Com
mittee This criticism. as above stated
