PRICE FIVE CE‘ITS GOVERNOR AND WAYOR 1SSUE ULTIMATUN TO THE INSURANCE COMPANIES ENGAGED IN CAITIEE WORK OF REPUDIATION, DEMAND THAT CLAIMS OF FIRE VICTIMS BE PAID IN FULL AND AT ONCE An ultimatum, firm in its tone and inexorable in its purpose, has been issued by George C. Pardee, Governor of California, and Eugene E. Schmitz, Mayor of San Francisco, to those American insurance companies which, in defiance of law and disregard of equity, stand holding the money that belongs to the people of the stricken metropolis, vainly hoping that ultimately despair will force a yielding to their unjust terms. The great significance of this official action cannot be overestimated. for it means that not only the power of San Francisco, the city, but the greater might of California, the State, is moving to the ends of justice. In their demand upon the insurance companies, the Governor and the Mayor point first to the fact that insurance conditions in San Francisco are in a terrible condition, but in order to do ne injustice they make their first address to the home offices of the corpogations involved. It is then pointed out that in the past San Francisco in particular and California in general have been profitable fields for the insurance companies, who, in bitter rivalry in the past in the pursuit of business, are now in bitter rivalry in the work of repudiation. In conclusion the demand is made that the policies held by fire victims be paid in full and at once. No threat of ruin to fall upon the corporations for their non-compliance is openly worded, but no ultimatum ever rang truer in its purpose. It means that non-compliance shail meet with action stern and Mth no ear to compromise. The flght is on and San Francisce, backed by California, shall have those things that are hers.
