PART-TIME AGENTS
OPPOSED BY CLUB
Insurance Speaker Urges
New Plan Here-SpeCiaI
Committee Appointed.

A meeting of great importance TO
the life insurance fraternity was held
by the Life Insurance Club of WASH
ington at the Willard last night. With
one exception, the entire membership
OF the CLUB was present to greet the
guest speaker, Thomas P. Morgan, jr.,
manager OF the Washington agency of
the Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New
York.
In introducing the speaker, President
John P. Lynch, stated that Mr.. Morgan
| had been in charge of the Washington
agency since 1906, either as assistant
manager or manager, with the excep-
ton OF two years when he was manager
at Philadelphia. Mr.. Morgan succeeded
his father as Washington manager.
Thomas P. Morgan, ST., was a home
office official, serving as supervisor of
agencies in the United States and
Canada for IS years.
Part-Time Agents Opposed.
In his address, Mr.. Morgan stated
that the time has come when the part
time life insurance agent in banks,
real estate offices, Government depart
ments, etc, must be eliminated. The
so-called life insurance counselor who
represents himself as able to place his
prospect in any company also must
be eliminated, according to the speaker.
Mr.. Morgan expressed doubt as to
whether life insurance business should
be accepted from the full-time broker
who is licensed to write all kinds of in
surance, leaving the disposition of that
subject to a future conference with the
club.
The speaker went on to say that the
money and time spent in training part
time agents was not justified by their
business production. He felt that the
prestige of the full-time agent was
seriously impaired by the fact that al
most any one can get license to write
life insurance. The public is entitled,
said the speaker, to that kind of serv-
ice which only the experienced full-time
life insurance underwater, who repre-
Sents one good company, can give. He
was particularly opposed to placing
part-time agents on probation because
this system, if generally continued,
would leave loophole for wide
spread licensing of part-time men.
Special Committee Named.
The speaker suggested that COM
mittee be appointed to draw up an
agreement on the subject under dis
cussion. Upon motion adopted by the
club, the following members were ap-
pointed on the committee:
G. Lea Stabler, New York Life, chair
man: James A. Maloney, Equitable As
Surance Society of New York; Herbert
L. Barlow, Prudential; Philip L. Bald
win, Northwestern; j. E. McCombs,
and John P. Lynch. president Life In
surance Club of Washington, member
ex-of1cio.
Larry Riggles of the Phoenix Mutual
announced that his company for some
time had employed only full-time agents
with good results to the agents, the
company and to the insuring public.
1t was also announced that the local
agency of the Sun Life of Canada can
celed all part-time contracts on Janu-
airy !, 1880.

NEW YORK, February 21.-That the
factor of the income yield on common
stocks in creating q public market for
them is still an important one is evil
denced by the slowing down of the tyne
of investment buying which came into
the market on such a large scale last
october ana November and was respon-
sible for the absorption of MANY millions
of shares which had to be sold bv those
whose margins were exhausted.
The advance in junior securities from
the low levels OF last November has COM
pletely changed the income Weld status
OF many of the popular equity" issues
One of the constantly bearish are1lnents
last year was that the average return on
common stock was so much under the
yields on bonds that the former were no
longer attractive to the investor.
Yield Basis Better.
This situation impelled one large New
York trust company to send a letter to
its clients suggesting the wisdom of re-
ducing their holdings of common stocks
because of their current low Yields,
Later, after the market had its break,
this same institution recommended that.
as the yield basis for junior securities
had become so satisfactory, it seemed to
NC eA OPPOACUAAC OAAlIC W purchase them
both for income and for appreciation.
From the point last Summer where
the average return on common stocks
was below that on bonds there was a
reversal within two months which estab-
lished common stocks at a slightly
higher average yield than fixed interest
securities. Now the situation has again
changed and as equities" have adj
vanced the yields on them have de-
cltned.
Meantime. there has been relatively
little change in the average return on
bonds which again is higher than that
on representative common stocks.
Therefore, there is no longer the in
ducement to the average investor which
was held out to him in the latter part
OF 1929 of withdrawing funds from
savings banks which paid him Az per
cent or borrowing from life insurance
companies at 5 per cent in order to buy
stocks whose current yields at that time
were above the general earning power Of
money elsewhere invested.
A few illustrations will show con-
cretely how conditions have changed

GROWTH IN TRUCK
JOBBING IS RAFlv
Prompt Shipment of Food
StuffS Under New Plan
Aids Sales.

Truck jobbing. an outgrowth of
wagon retailing, although a newcomer
in the wholesale field, has become SO
potent a factor that Government au-
thorities look toward it as a means
by which much of the future distribu-
ton to the independent retailer will be
accomplished.
When the so-called hand -to-mouth
buying" laid firm hold of the retailer
as a permanent policy, the jobbers found
many OF the outlets closed to them.
They have now turned to the truck
Jobbing field, and there are now some
10000 wagon jobbers in this country
operating between $4,000 and 10000
wagons and trucks.
Most of these jobbers are operating
In the food and grocery fields, although
the movement Is spreading to other
lines. 1t Is said that the system gives
the food products manufacturer an OPP
portunity to be his own wholesaler with
consequently larger profit to himself
and lower prices to his customers. This
has been a big consideration in view
OF the recent consultations in the
food products manufacturing field.
Once the routes are mapped out the
trucks move with what is almost a
railroad time table regularity. With
assurance that the jobber will be on
hand at a certain hour on a certain
day, the retailer is able to wait till the
last minute before stocking perishables
and semi-perishables.
The new system has built up a de-
mand for drivers who not only are
mechanics and chauffeurs, but who are
statesmen and even sales councillors and
advertising specialists. The value of
men of this type has been clearly proved
IN the laundry and dairy industries.
Statisticians have been surprised In
many cases of dairy and laundry con-
solicitations when business fell off in
stead Of increased after the merger. In
vestigation showed that the milk wagon
and laundry wagon drivers had a firm
hold on their individual customers and
trade followed the driver and not the
