Erickson Admits
Insurance Hard
to Get for Us

Admission that Negroes have a
harder time to get liability insur-
ance for their automobiles was
made this week by Carl Erickson,
chairman of the house of represen-
tatives insurance committee which
killed a bill designed to end dis
elimination based on race in this
type of coverage.
Mr.. Erickson, a native of St.
Cloud, refused to permit his com
mittee to make any report on the
measure and then kept it from
coming to a vote after it was
wrested from his control under a
house rule. In stating his position,
Mr.. Erickson said: "The commit
tee and myself realize that some
insurance companies have acted ar
bitrarily in refusing to write GER
tain races. There is no doubt that
the Negro is required by some com
panies to carry heavy burden of
proving his instability. However,
with respect to many kinds Of in
surance, other races have varying
burdens of showing instability.
Selection Fundamental
International thinking on this
matter brings one to the conclusion
that the fundamental idea which is
the basis of insurance is the right
on the part of the insurer to select
the risks that it chooses.
Similarity of risk is one of the
basic principles of insurance. Free
dom of contract is right guaran-
teed by the Constitution. Except
for a comparatively few insurers,
Negroes are not placed in special
category of risk. It is my belief
that in most instances, a Negro ap-
plicant must meet only the require
mentS that members of other races
must meet.
Members of other races are de-
MED insurance also when, upon ex-
animation, the applicant in some
respect is found to be the kind of
risk that the insurer does not wish
to underwrite.
Women Turned Down
"There is one large insurance
company which refuses to write in
surance on women. This is def
nitely discrimination, but no one
can say that that company does not
have the right to discriminate in
this way.
"Most companies are fair to all
races. 1t is my hope, and have so
expressed myself to the represen-
tatives Of insurance companies,
that any discrimination which may
exist based purely upon race will

Judge Anderson
Hears Brown VS..
NicOMet Hotel
JUDGE TAKES $500 DAMAGE
SUIT UNDER AMUSEMENT

Judge William A. Anderson of
the Minneapolis municipal bench
heard a damage suit filed against
the Nicollet Hotel by Martin
Brown, Minneapolis businessman,
Tuesday.
Mr.. Brown alleged in his suit
that he was refused service in one
of the bars 1t the Nicollet Hotel
on April 20, 1888.
Brown, Standard oil dealer, at
tended a banquet given by that
company at the hotel. Following
the banquet he went with several
other of the 800 dealers present to
one of the hotel barrooms where he
was invited to have a glass of beer
by one Of his fellow banqueters.
A bartender on duty told Brown,
1--WE don't serve Negroes in here"
Brown demurred and his friends
argued but Mr.. Brown did not get
his glass of beer.
Shortly after the humiliating
experience Nh Brown, through his
attorney, A. r. Skinner, filed suit
against the Nicollet Hotel for $500
damages for humiliation and en-
barrassment under the Minnesota
laws which forbid refusal Of serv-
ice in public places in this state be-
cause of color, race, etc.
Manager Testifes
Neil Messick, manager of the
Nicollet Hotel, testified that col
ored people had sometimes been
served at the hotel. He mentioned
several interracial affairs which
had been served in one of the ho-
tels private dining rooms.
Say They Offered Him Beer
The bartenders all testified that
the reason they did not serve
Brown was because they thought
he was intoxicated. Later one of
them testified that after they found
out he wasn't drunk" they offered
him service.
Both the plaintiff, Mr.. Brown,
and his two witnesses, F. B. Han
ratty and Campbell Keith, both
white gasoline station operators,
testified that Brown was refused
and such refusal was because of his
race.
Simon Meshbesher was attorney
for the Nicollet. Judge Anderson
took the case under advisement.
