Pitiful minority of Life Insurance at oar shops held in big companies. Attaches of the Union Pacific are etill perlplexed, if not annoyed, at the strange order from E. H. Harriman is New York calling for a statement of the amount of old line insurance each employe in the company carries. Polls to satisfy the demand are still being taken in Omaha and elsewhere along their road. At Cheyenne it is asserted that recently many employes of the Union Pacific forwarded their proxies to Thomas W. Lawson and it is feared knowledge of this face has reached and aroused Mr. Harriman, who is desirons of getting at the exact facts, so he may be gnided in a whole sale decapiration. The poll of the employes in the car department ut the Union Pacific shops tr Omaha shows a pitifnl minority of insurance in old line companies. The inquiry developed these facts and figmres ; $584,000, in Ancient Or der of United Workmen; $40,000, Modern Woodmen of America; $30,000 Woodmen of the World ; $SO,O(0, in MtBOtllaneons small companies, and 8 000, in old liners. Ask d for an explanation of the in sarance inquiry, General Manager Mohler disclaimed any knowledge of it, .saying it was a matter entirely with Mr. Harriman. The inquiry extends not only all along the Union Pacific but Southern Pacific, Oregon Short line and Oregon railway and navigation company as wall. Liberty Belles.
