Hamburger, who held a fire Insurance broker's license, refused to discharge the witpess and his license was re- yoked, But the alleged persecution did not end @here, according to Koeffer. “IT hawe a friend named Greenberg,” said the lawyer. “I place insurance | through him. The exchange learned of it and his license was revokwd.” Policies Written to Deceive. Hugo Wintner, a IAwyer, of No. & Beekman street, told the committee that policies are often written to deceiva the holder. “It is @ matter of common know!- ecige,” he said, “that the loa) standard policy was drawn up in the office of « prominent lawyer in this city, who rep- resented the fire insurance companies. You can rest assured that the com- panies allowed no trick to escape that would be of benefit to them, and which would haanper the insured in collecting the insurance in event of a loss, This {8 80 generally known that the courts are greedy to seize upon anything In order to ald and protect the man who has suffered loss. The insurance com- panies have the Insured in a trap, but some are willing to meet the Insured half way.” Mr, Wintner cited the case of a leather merchant inured in a Buffalo fire inaur- ance company. The merchant suffered heavy lows, A clause had been added to the policy with a rubber stamp. This cated that the policy covered a grade floor building. The ground floor was three feet under the street grade. The Ineurance company refused to pay the loss because of this added provision, which the Insured never noticed and which had not been pointed out to dim by the insurance broker.
