. . Irregularities. ‘IN CRIMINAL LO UNTERNYER SH Stock Companies Accused of Choking Competition and Influencing Laws. {Special from a Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) ALBANY, March 9.—Declaring the imsurance companies were engaged tm a criminal conspiracy to shut out competition and to have created laws to their own pecuniary advantage, Samuel Untermyer before the Senate Committee on Labor and Industry started his fight day in favor of their elimination in connection with the Workmen's Compensation Law, He spoke for more than one hour fm defense of the amendment to the law introduced in the Senate by Ber- mard Downing of New York City, a Democrat, and W. W. Campbell of Schenectady, a Republican, giving ail the insurince business exclusively to the State fund. “My statements,” said Mr, Unter- tyer, “are not only on my responsi- bility as a professional man, but upon *he evidence udduced before the Lock- vood committee, and is out of the mouths of the highest officials of the Diggest stock insurance tompanies in the State, “Thg uniform premium fund of the insurance companies for un- earned premiums yields to them $35,000,000 a year, of which the Policyholders receive ‘nothing and every cent of which goes into the pockets of the stockholders. * “Part of the criminal conspiracy of these companies is to drive out of existence the State fund and the! mutual companies. e former does ness for the Workmen's Com- pensation Law for 15 per cent. less than the stock companies and the mutual companies for 25 per cent. less. Yet the former gets but 9 per ent. of the business and the mu- tuals even less. “The stock companies make Illicit rebates in direct defjance of the law and their officials have admitted un- der oath that they have indulged in ‘When a big insurer seeks lower rates than the law re- quiries he is told the law forbids rate eutting in liability insurance; but that there are no regulations on ac- eidental and casualty policies, and that the iatter can be had at such a rate, taken In cannection with one for Nability, that the rate of the Jatter will be below anything the mutuals or the State fund can provide, “Reading fromh the Lockwood re- Port, it is shown upon the testimony: of the insurance heads that a big cor- poration got a rate of 80 cents on the hundred, where the rate should have been’ $1. In another cgse the rate ‘was made $1.60, where it should have’ been $2.60, and the Ward Baking Company was given a rebate of $350,000." Chairman Duell of the committee interrupted Mr. Untermyer. . “Do you think this tssuo ts a life and death struggle?” he asked. “It is nog a struggle at all.” replied Mr. Untermyer, “it is certain death for State fund insurance if the com- panios are allowed to participate Concluding, the counsel said “these insurance interests are becoming more powerful than the stat lobbyists now Infest every leg’ hall th the country.” “You see how very im bearing the Workmen's Com Law has on the housing situation, It is of vital interest that the cost of in- suring men on ¢gonstruction work be cut down, for the cost enters largely into the ost of construction.” One of these who appeared in oppo- sition to fhe bill was Charles H. Wil- loughby ho, Mr. Untermyer de- clared, indulged only in gencralities, while he was backing his statements with facts, Chairman Duell asked Mr Willoughby, who the State Insurance if he could controvert Untermyer's statements, “No,"* was the reply, “but I could explain them." ge ARREST REVEALS Mr. ner Held ta znmenmt, Detective John Schueing testified In Morrimania MBlice Court to-day that Samuel Berg whom he arraigned om a charge of grand larceny, went to con- siderable pains to rig up a plan by which he swindled denters In women's garments out of $12,000 worth of silk.
