THE HENDERSONVILLE AREA
Figures Quoted at Meeting Show $4,000 Collected
in Premiums and $685., 900 Paid Out in
Last Two Years-May Quit Field
or Increase Rates

Special agents of fire insurance
companies operating in Hender-
Sonville and Henderson county
met with city and county officials
and local agents this morning for
frank discussion Of fire cOndi-
tions in this county.
About 20 special agents, repre-
senting most Of the companies
operating here were present and
all local agencies were represent
ed.
Wellborn Colquitt of Charlotte,
special agent for the Crum-Foster
group of companies, presided at
the meeting, and explained that
the meeting was called by COM
panies doing business here on &C
count of the fire loss in the past
five years.
He quoted adjusters' figures on
major fires in the past two years,
declaring that suspicious losses
under city protection were ii
fires and a loss of $4,000; non
suspicious, 81 fires and a $751;
600 loss in two years; suspicious
unprotected, u fires and a loss
of $4,000; of a suspicious ma
ture, unsuspicious unprotected,
81 fires and $4,000 loss, a total

600.
an other words" he said:
Companies have paid approx
mately $500 per week for fires
in this county during the past two
years"
This condition, he said, has
caused the cancellation of some
policies, the reduction in amount
of some, and some companies
have gotten out Of the territory
altogether. Companies, he said,
must get out or increase the rate
by 25 per cent.
A canvass Of local agents re-
vealed that eight companies have
left this field in two years on ac~
count of fire losses.
There then followed a presen-
tation of figures of the amount
of premiums collected and fire
loss for five years of more than
81 companies doing business here.
This revealed that in all but six
cases, the amount paid out had
exceeded the amount of premiums
collected.
The figures We're approximate
ly $4,000 collected in premiums
and approximately $4,000 paid
out for fire losses.
There then followed a discus.
sion in which local and special
agents and offici. Is gave con-
sideration to the problem OF
fighting this situation.

TALMADCE NOW
ON DRY SIDE
Georgia Governor Definite
ly Aligns With the
ProhibitionistS
By RALPH L. SANDERS
United Press staff Correspondent

ATLANTA. May 81 Uf).-
Georgia'S dirt-farmer governor,
Eugene Talmadge, yesterday def
nitely aligned himself with the
dry. anti-beer. anti-repeal prohi-
bitioniSts and said ne had no idea
Of calling a special beer session
of the legislature.
Georgia was thus faced with
two arid years, since the general
assembly is not scheduled to meet
again until 1885 for its regular
biennial session. and the governor
asserted he would not call Il Spe-
cial beer session unless rqueSted
by prohibitioniStS.
THE religious people of the
state started the prohibition
movement. he said in his most
pointed public utterance on liQuoc
thus far, "and they are the ones
to star any movement to repeal
the prohibition laws
The statement came when a
member of the legislature pre-
scented to him letters signed by 4
majority of the state legiSla. Ors,
urging the governor to call a
beer session. The poll showed
l43 of the 255 members definite
~ favored the extra session call
Gov. Talmadge cited the recent
stormy regular biennial session of
the legislature which adjourned
without passing u general revenue
bill. though it approved an az
preparation bill. He has long been
at odds with the senate.
"The majority of the senate
would raise hell and stay in ses-
sion the rest of the year." if spe-
cial session was called, the COVER
nor declared.
He denied that he feared I'M
parchment proceedings in spe-
cial session.
Meanwhile. Gov. Talmadge's
stand against beer was considered
in line with reports this week that
he will seek election to the U. s.
senate against former governor
and now Senator Richard B. Rus
sell, Jr., who voted against beer
at Washington, or, if he seeks re-
election as governor. would be
opposed by Abit Nix. Athens,
strong church "dry", who ran 4
strong second against Talmadge
at the last election.

London. beginning June ~.
WASHINGTON, May 3. (UP).
Preparations going forward at
the White House for a speedy
windup of congressional activi-
ties continued to be interpreted
last night in some unofficial
quarters as indicative Of the pos
sibility Of President Roosevelt
visiting the world economic con-
ference in London.
While the administration dis
avowed any such intention on the
part Of Mr.. Roosevelt, pointing
out that pressing domestic affairs
needed his attention, the reports
persisted that he might plan a
swift visit to Britain next month,
deliver An address to the dele
gates and Immediately return.
In this connection it was re-
ported that he had been urged
by some friends to make the trip
in the interest of the success OF
the conference which is sched-
uled to get under way June II.

Montana labor news., 1933-06-15
TALKING ABOUT CRIME.

The crime is not that Morgan hornsWOggled His gov
eminent out of its share of the loot taken from the Ameri-
can people, but the liberation of a condition in which one
man can get five million dollars year without creating a
cent of value.
Bad as AL Capone may be, he at least paid for the ma
chine guns and gunners protecting his racket out OF his
own pocket. Had he been a Morgan he would have
charged the cost Of his wars against the estates of his
victims.
There is but one crime greater than kidnapping tender
children and holding them for ransom under penalty of
death and that is forcing parents to sell their children in
to slavery under penalty of starvation for both.
We've heard of dogs who bit the hands of those who
fed them, but we know of no instance where a recipient
of j. ?. Morgan's liberality ever doube-crossed his master.
When such illustrous persons as presidents and candi-
dates for president, Cabinet members, army commanders
and national campaign managers of both historic parties
accept favors from the House of Morgan, the term high
treason cannot be applied. In the first place, there are
no proofs that the gentlemen involved possess the sense
of gratitude such an unsophisticated person as Mr.. Nor
gan might have slrmised in them. In the second place,
there is always the likelihood that when Morgan decided
to give money to someone the name of outstanding per-
sonaities naturally suggested themselves. And finally,
high treason can only be committed during war. If, for.
instance, Benedict Arnold, a few months or years previous
to or after his attempt to surrender, had received a dona-
ton of five or ten thousand pounds from King George,
the act would not have fallen in the category of high
treason.

JUNE 13.

June 10, the meeting night of this weeks Council, has a
deep meaning for many in Butte. June 13 was at one
time Union Miners Day. In the days when Butte was
Butte and mining was mining and the union of Butte was
the Miners Union, June 10 was a gala day. June 10,
1885,, gave the day a new significance, for it marked the
ization of workers mandatory and outlawing all yellow
dog contracts and other methods used to submerge the
worker.
In accordance with the traditional June 13 and the leg
islation passed June 13, 1888, a motion was made on the
floor of the Council to make drastic efforts to once more
organize the Miners Union. The motion was unanimous
ly adopted. The method suggested by the Engineers
Union was that each union man bring one miner into the
union. If this were done a large and powerful union
could once more be formed. With the passing of the In
dustrial Recovery Bill such an organization has the back
ing of the government and no industry dare boycott work
ers who affiliate with such a Union. Let us revive June
10 as a UNION Miners Day and rebuild the once power
full Miners Union.
