INSURANCE RATES
CONTROL |SSOUGHT
D. C. Commissioners Seek
Power to Prevent Unrea-
SonabIe Increases.

Reports that companies handling EN-
uloye's compensation insurance are
planning to order 26.9 per cent In
crease In rates on July ! moved the
District Commissioners yesterday to ask
Congress to empower the District su-
perintendent of insurance to regulate
charges for such insurance.
The Commissioners transmitted to
Congress a proposed amendment to the
District Code under which all COM
paniss or associations handling en-
ployes insurance would be required to
submit premium rates TO the insurance
commissioner for approval.
Rate Increase Postponed.
More than a year ago similar pro-
posal for a drastic increase in premium
rates brought vigorous protests from
business and civic interests Of Wash
ington and the rate boost was post
poned.
At that time the Washington Cham
Der of Commerce and other groups en-.
gagged in an extensive investigation Of
operation Of the employees insurance
law.
At the present time the companies
handling employees compensation in
surance are licensed by the District,
but such licenses do not flx rates. The
companies themselves set the rates.
Stand of Commissioners.
In letters to Senator King and Rep
resentative Norton, chairman of the
Senate and House District Committees,
the Commissioners stated:
THE Commissioners are informed
that it is the intention OF these COR
YnorafjF1ns and associations IN male n
radical increase in their rates and these
rates must be paid without reference
to their reasonableness. The Commis-
sionefs believe the subject Of rates
should be supervised as q matter Of
fairness to employers and employees.
The proposed legislation will give the
superintendent OF insurance authority to
pass upon the reasonableness of the
rates, subject to q review by the Su-
preme Court of the District of Colum-
bia."

Z RICHMOND. Va.-Deelaring that
Judge Lowell, in; his famous decision
In the George Crawford case, "point-
ed to a ore:spot in the Virginia sys-
tenn of Justice" the Richmond Times
Dispatch, editorially praises Judge
Frederick w Coleman, who fined a
white citizen $40 for refusing to sit
on a grand jury with a Negro.
Speaking of the Crawford case,
which attracted national attention
when carried through Massachusetts
courts by NAACP. attorneys, and is
now before the U. S. supreme court,
the Times Dispatch says: "The dan
ger of a system which does not re-
cognize Negroes in its deliberations
has been sharply emphasized in the
case of George Crawford-Judge
Lowell's decision was based on the
fact that Negroes are not called for
jury service in Loudoun county and
therefore the case against Crawford
may have been prejudiced - Judge
Coleman is right. There is no better
time than the present to cure a sore
spot which has brought to Virginia
much u~nfavorable publicity"
