FROM:

RE:

JeromeS. Adlerman

Walter J. Sheridan

James R. Hoifa • Sunmit Fidelity & Surety Co.;

Allen Dorfman; Teamster Bonding

On January 13, 1960, I contacted Frank Wright, President of

the United Bonding Company of Indianapolis, Indiana, telephone:

WA 6-1588.

Wright said that he was originally approached in approximately

October 1959 by a man named Menerovaki who was with the Lake-

State Auto Association in Chicago, Illinois. Menerovski claimed

that he had the Teamster bonding business sewed up and asked

Wright if he would write the business for him. Wright said that

ho told Menerovski that he was not going to do anything until the

rates and forms were more clearly established by the American

Surety Association.

Wright said that he next recoived a call from his own agent in

Newark, a man named Matty Silverman, who had been approached

by an unknown party who also stated that he had the Teamster

bonding business. Wright said that he gave Silverman the samo

reply.

Wright said that some time in December 1959 he was contacted

by a man named Don Pletts, who represented an agency in

Miami, Florida, who also told him that he had the Teamster

bonding business and offered to post a cash collateral of $300,000.

Pletts had previously contacted Jim Halpern of the United Public

Insurance Conjany of Indianapolis for the same pur pose. Wright

said that a man named Joba Quinlan with the Peerless Insurance

Company even quit his job to go with Fletts because Fletts scemed

so certain of getting the Teamster business.

Wright said that subsequently in December 1959 he was telephonically

contacted by E: I. Cefrey of the United Benefit Fire Insurance

Conjany of Illinois, who told him that he had the Teamster bonding

business. Cefrey said that he was arranging a group of companies

to hancle the business and asked Wright if he would participate for

25 percent. At that time, Cefrey quoted a rate of $6.25 per thousand

per annum to be charged for the bonds. Wright agreed to participate.

Wright said that by letter dated December 29, 1959, signed by

B. K. Pyle of the United Benefit Company, their check #22886 in

the amount of 59, 750 was forwarded to Wright as his portion of

a premium deposit of $100, 000 which had been made by the Teamsters.

Union less 2-1/2 percent premium tax.: Wright said that ho was

surprized when he got the check representing 10 percent interest,

inasmuch as he had agreed to participate for 25 percent. He con-

tacted Cefrey, who told him that they had subsequently decided

that, inasmuch as his company was the smallest, they would only

participate for 10 percent.

Wright said that he has been attempting to get together with Cefrey

to determine more about the entire arrangement, particularly the

type of reinsurance arrangements being made.

Wright said that his understanding is that he and the other companies

will pay United Benefit a 35 percent commission as earned. The

volume of premiums over a three-year period was represented to

him as being approximately three million dollars, two million of

which would be to insure losses over onal iiion dollars with some-

one like Lloyas of London. He said that this would leave approxi-

rately one million to be split among participating companies.

Wright said that his files contained a letter dated December 15, 1959

from Tri-State Insurance Company to United Benefit, signed by

D. B. Ihmes of Tri-State, setting forth conditions under which

Tri-State agreed to participate to the extent of $200,000. These

conditions included a quarterly mecting of a committee made up of

representatives of all the participating companies to review the

underwriting and other procedures, at which a majority vote would

prevail. It was also stipulated that all money received by United

Benefit from the Teamsters Union would be immediately divided

among the participating companies according to the stipulated

percentages. It also provided that the form used by United Benefit

to write the bonds, unless previously approved by the Attorney,

General's office, should be submitted to Iri-State for their roview

and suggestions. Coies of this letter were sent to Charles Bray,

Joseph Henning and David Ross.

Wright did not know who any of

these individuals were.

SUBJECT: Tesstora Bonding

On June 21, 1961, Frank ExHright, Prosident and James E. Burch, Soretary-

Treasurer, of the United Banding Insuranca Company of 830 Bast 38th Street,

Indianapolis, Indiana, wers referrod to this offico by Sidney Cox of the

Treasury Departzent, and conforred with Mr. Blum of this office with

regard to bonding problems in connoction tith thair prospoctive contracding

as prinary suroty for the International Brotherhood of Toastora.

Daring the course of the conference, the inforants revealed that United

Bonding Insurance hed boan coatastod by one I. L. Cefrey with ralerene

to taling over as primary suroty for the Temstora' mastor bending progres.

Chicago, Illinos of which Mr. Cefray was fomerly Vice-president.

According to informants, Mr. Cefrey indioated that ho was now soting for

Charles Bray of the Honer Bray Service Campany of Chicago, Illinois.

Under the arrangement proposed to the Unitod Bonding Insurance Copany,

10 per cent of the promiums received by tha United Bonding Insurance

Company would be paid the Homer Bray Service Company as a brokerage fee

and 25 per oant would ba paid to the Homer Bray Service Company as agent

for the Unitod Benefit Insurance Company.

Additionally, it was revealed that lloyda of London hod been seting as

& reinsurer under the previous bonding arrangement and it was contemplated

that lloyde of london would set as a reinsurer for lo3t0s botween $100, 000

and $400,000 in the proposed arrangezent. It was also alloged that Contral

Casualty Company which was apparently a co-insurer under the prorious

arrangement was wholly owned by Honer Brey.

Fron the infornation revealed thare was no reason to believe that united

Bonding Insurance Company would not ba an acceptable suraty under section

502 of the Act. Massrs. Wright and Burch seemed particularly andous to

make sure that they would not be violating any lata in undertaläng this

arrangement. They indioated a desire to deal dirsctly with the Pesasters

Unton rather than dict through Honor Bray as intermodiary. Aspoots of the

law of the bending provisions as thay rolate to saraty ocapanios vero

One is whether the provision of the consolidated bond form giving a first

named insured power to aot for all the organizations covered by the bond

is acceptable under our interpretation of the bonding provisions. The

second is whether a master bonding progran in which certain of the local

organizations are covered only on schedule A of the consolidated bond

form is not in effect ablanket bond as regards those locals. The third

is whether the placement of collateral with surety by the insured would

not in effect amount to a deduction of a percentage of any loss so as to

violate the requirement that there is no minimun limitation on the amount

for which a person must be covered by boading.
