In the annual report Mr. Green
further emphasized the cardinal in
sistence of labor organizations upon
the right to organize voluntarily for
cooperative bargaining over wage
scales and working conditions. and
opposed compulsory arbitration or
semi-judicial mechanisms for settling
industrial disputes. But on this oc

made, with definite plans of co-operat-

INSURANCE FIRMS INVESTING
in REALTY MORTGAGE LOANS

The place held by life insurance
organizations as economic factors in
the development of the Nation was
the subject of an address made before
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards. in annual convention
this week at Tulsa, Okla, by Lester
T.. Wurfel, assistant secretary of the
Prudential Insurance Co. of America,
and one of the supervising officers of
that company's real estate mortgage
loan department.
After calling the attention OF the
delegates to the fact that legal re-
serve life insurance companies now
have in force policies involving total
coverage Of $71,178,190,000 and ad-
mitted assets at the end of the year
1925 of $11,4S5 ,4O7, 900. the insurance
authority disclosed the fact that in
the investment of these funds under
writing organizations are turning
more and more to the real estate
mortgage loan as sound security for
profitable and wise distribution.
"In 1919" he said. "the legal re-
serve companies had assets of $780,.
5S2,415, of which 30.8 per cent was
invested in real estate mortgage loans.
With more than $1,000, 100000 Of
assets at the end of 1925. the invest
ment in mortgage loans was $4,S23.-
81 900, or AZ per cent of the total.
This growth of more than II per cent
in such investments has been a
healthy one.
Il regard this great increase in
the amount Of insurance in force as
an evidence Of the moral progress Of
our people. It shows that we are
responding in increasing measure to
those ethical duties which are the
very bedrock of an advanced civiliza-
Evening star., 1926-06-12

Much has been said in recent years
about our people becoming careless Of
honor, virtue, duty and their obliga-
tons to each other and to society;
this because Of longing for ease and
material gain. The statistics of life
insurance, however. do not sustain the
indictment. II the fact that 71,178,-
100, 900 Of insurance Is in force may
be used as a barometer Of social con-
ditions, then 1t must be regarded as
conclusive evidence that our people
are rapidly acquiring that virtue upon
which the stability of society must
rest-the sense Of obligation to de.
pendents."
A prediction that the assets of life
insurance companies would continue
to grow was made by the speaker.
who said:
1.-THE per capita insurance in force
upon the lives Of those gainfully en-
ployed Is for an amount equal to only
about 60 per cent of the average in
come for one year. Thus 1t will be
seen that not only Is vast number Of
our population uninsured, but great

accumulated capital much credit
should be given to life insurance for
a service rendered in the expansion
and development of the resources of
the country.
1.-The fact that life insurance COM
panies have seen fit to increase this
form of investment during the past
six years from 30.S per cent to AZ per
cent of admitted assets bears unnlis-
taxable evidence of their faith.
"On March 81 of this year the
Prudential had on it's books mortgage
loan investments totaling s652 093,-
533.82, which represents 1896 loans.
