Su oF am sansynaee he WEDNESDAY, OCT. 31, 1917. BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE Notice to Agents and Policy Holders of National Union Fire Insurance Co. i of Pittsburg, Pa. | | We wish to call the attention of crop loss policy holders | throughout the state to the following facts concerning the Na- | tional Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburg, Pa.: There are two companies that have written a large number of crop loss policies in the state, the Bankers Insurance Com- pany of Helena, Montana, and the National Union Fire Insur- ance Company of Pittsburg. Pa. Care should be taken to dis- tinguish between these two companies. The Bankers Insurance Company of Helena, now in pcor shape financially, but the National Union Fire Insvrance Company of Pittsburg is finan- cially responsible and able to pay all just claims for crop losses | in the state. We wish to make it clear that the adjustment of losses under these crop loss policies, as under other insurance policies. is a matter entirely between the insuring company and the policy holder, to be settled in each case according to the in- dividual merits of the same. Policy holders should proceed to make adjustments with representatives of the National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburg, Pa, as with any other LEAGUE. PLANS COOPERATIVE IGNITE MINES Patrick M. Casey of Equity Pack- | ing Plant Proposes Method of Solving Problem HOWARD R. WOOD WOULD HAVE STATE DIG COAL The org: tion and operation of North Dakota’s undeveloped lignite resources on a gigantic co-operative scale as a means of relieving the threatened tuel shortage in this and neighboring states iew to absolutely controlling the price of lig- |nite is a dream which is incubating in the brain of Patrick N. ©: of Lisbon, general manager of the Equity Co-operative packing plant at Fargo, and Speaker Howard R. Wood, state ger of the Nonpartisan league. and Wood were here yester- day in conference with the governor and other league members of the ad- very com to the object of their y administered that insurance concern. If it is impossible to agree upon a, settle- ment. policy holders have the right to institute civil suits and litigate the question of the company’s liability in court. With thee matters the Insurance Department and the Attorney General’s office cannot interfere. \ We are interested and we will interfere whenever it ap- pears that unfair metzods are employd to bring about settle. | ments, and when policy holders are induced to settle by any mis-statements of facts. Complaints have been made that the following misrepresentations have been employed by adjusters of the National Union Fire Insurance Company in different parts of the state: .First, that the National Union Fire Insur- ance Company of Pittsburg is financially unable to pay its loss- es; Second. that its only offer of settlement is the return of premiums without payment of lo:s and that this offer is ap- proved by the Insurance Commissioner of the state; Third, that the company is denying liability for all losses throughout the western part of the state; Fourth. that adjusters are using threats of criminal prosecutions against policy holders to induce settlements. In connection with these matters we repeat that this company is solvent, that it must settle each claim according to its merits; that it has no right to make a wholesale denial of liability in western North Dakota, or any other section, and that threats of criminal prosecution against policy holders for alleged misrepresentations as to the condition of their crops | amount to attempted extortion and are illegal. We are anxious to receive reliable and specific reports of instances of this kind with names, dates and circumstances where improper methods have been used to bring about settle- ments and we will take prompt action to prosecute those re- sponsible for the same, In the meantime policy holders sho settle their claims amicably, if possible, or by goinz to court if | necessary. and with full knowledge that the National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburg is responsible and can pay all just losses in the state.

This proposed constitution, which made the sky the limit so far as the amount of public funds which the state might invest in any private enterprise would, Speaker Wood helieves, have permit- ted the state to step in, mine its own vast fuel deposits. and hammer down price of coal to a point where one could burn all the lignite they pleased.
