Show I RATE TAR XOT ANTICIPATED I So Say tie Hey Local Insurance I Agents The local insurance men are of the opinion that the rate war which is now I raging on the coast and in several other districts of the jurisdiction of th Pacific Insurance union will not in anyway 1 any-way affect the situation here in Sat Lake city notwithstanding the fact that the cutting and rebating i even now being carried on in Ogden All of tIe Salt Lake heavy weights have held consultations and after thoroughly can vassng the situation given their I pledges that they would not take part in any rate war unless absolutely forced to do so to protect their business which none of them seem t anticipate antIciate will be the case or at least they say they do not believe any such necessity Will ever arise Insurance companies are not so fond of doing business for nothing that they will > be likely to refuse I re-fuse to listen to the counsels of their agents here and refrain from any 1 underbidding for business Of course there may be several of the smaller I agencies who will fail to live up to the agreements but the greater majority of the local insurance people will be I found on the side of conservatism and it seems hardly probaole that there will I be any rate cutting here on any ex tensive scale Of course should the worst come to the worst all of the agents are prepared to take care of their business and have the full authority from their companies no meet any legitimate cuts made legitmate by competi tors Those dispatches received by the greater majority of the agents on Fri day afternoon demand that the business of the companies be protected from the onslaughts of any of the institutions which do not feel bound by union rules I As a result of the announcement of the unsuccessful termination of th3 negotiations which have been on for I some time past in San Francisco look ing to the reorganization of the Pacilia Insurance union on a more solid basis the principal local insurance agents agent yesterday morning got together and asa as-a result of the consultation there will be no rate cutting here unless there I are some more very violent changes |
