Great Disconaforis fa\n In Ono of Tbe.o Vouch. .

The bank clerks , and everybody occupying n 110- altion . oC trust or wishing to ! secure such n place who may be rClulred (0 ( give n bond , will . In case thIs law passes , be tompeled to secure Personal bonds , nnI place themselves uhller obligations to some frIend , whereas under the present arrangements they can get bonds all the way from - $3 to $10 per thousand . , I am certainly nol trying to mislead the public or iuIr Gilland or any of his friends In the matter , simply advisIng them lint If house roll No. 163 or senate file No 131 should become l law the surety companIes could not 110 busIness In this , .slal They could write for , corporations whose headquarters . quarters arc outside of the state on the ' r employes anywhere In the world for .tht matter . . Mr. . Giland certaInly misunderstood 110 Ic 110 understood by my conversaton that tbo surety companies were getting a large bud- ness In Nebraska. I said that the total surety buslness.f Nebraskn amounted to less , hnn $26.000' ' In premiums. I now beg to assure him that the auditor's report will show that the toll surety business of Nebraska amounts to less than $16,000 In 11rcm1ums , for the year , and that the company I represent the Fidelity comuanv. has nald out more In losses In this stat than they hnve receive In busIness , orlglnnUng In the state which com- pan ) Is one of the strongest and best In the country. I has been doing busIness for over twenty years. Again . I have no plan as to bonding .state and federal efclnl8 or county treasurers. The maier has been suggested , and I agree . that with nn expert special agent constantly trav- cling . through the state , examining the county records 19 oren as once Ih three months , the .bllness might be conducted at a fair premium and the result would bo beneficIal t' all Interested. _ . Mr. Giiand states fn his letter , In regard to the deposIt that the deppsll's-cton 1s not vital t employes , "bul Is mere at prote'cton to our empl yers. " The employers so. far havE not asked for'thls protection. The FIdelity - Ity company has $260,000 on deposit at Albany N. Y. . subject to any claim that may b3 brought In any tate of thc United States. Our total assets are $2,250,570. We have' paid have'p\ld In losses tD date ; since the organizatIon \ of the company , 5480000. I we' were cem- peled to make deposits In each state of the union It would take one and I Quarter mi- ' lens more money than we have ams' to be 'nlse by our stockholders. Would they do It . fcr the sake of taking In less than $3.000 , In premiums li the state or Nebraska ? That i Is all we earned' ' last 'year. Mr. Giiand cItes In the World-Hernld two cases where , on account of circumstantial circumstantal evidence , two honest men , haVe suffered-one lost $200 and was suspected of stealing I. and for that reason , after the ( company had paId ( the loss lo , the railroad company , they cnceled } , his , bond .

They can do that ' \'thout gIving the source or their Information-at the same tIme giving to the employe the sub- stance of the charge made against hIm , that he may take steps to refute false any fale accusa- tion. My compny has never refused to grant a request of thIs kind . and I have.prolsed' Mr. Giiiiland that I would gel a written stipulation : - lalon E.lgne by the president and secretary oC the company to the effect that they would make a statement as t the charges. I explained to Mr. Gllnnd that the rejection - jection of employes often comes from an intimation - tmaton by the employer which only comes In this way ' I they do not want this em- ploye bon'ded they tail to make fal an application - applca- ton for the renewal , and send In some new name. The company doe not know why the old party Is left out. Mr. Gilliland Giiand knows that It Is n matter of two or three months' correspondence to Issue the first bend to any party , and that companies certainly - tainly prefer to retain all their customers , whose bonds are renewed slmnl' bv a re- nownl receipt , lthoul any corieponjen'ce : , - Mr. Giiand Is mistaken In stating that I admitted that there was such a law al the one In questIon In Texn8. I asserted that there wa no similar law In force In the United States.

I sems strange that any law against corporations - corora- tons that the populsts would not pass should be adopted by thq present , legislature without n fight. . I am earnestly In favor of doing everything reasonable that Is demanded by any' labor organization , but I do not be- iieve the Telegraphers union ought to de- mand legislation that might be InjurIous to members of other unions , and particularly partcularly so , when such legislation would be abso- lulely of no benefit to them There Is no question whatever and there Is no buslnesl man In the state who understands the surety bond business but what will bear me wIt- ness to the tact that If the ompanles are conipeiled'to gIve away on demand oC a reJected - jecled applicant for a bond the confidential Information required al to his character standing etc,1 that the companies could net trasacl the bond buslne In thIs state or In any state where such a law was 'In force. The whole foundation oC the bond business II on confidential information . Even the men who are keeping crleck on bonded em- ployes must rely largely on confidential Information . formation . whIch , if 'derogatory 10 n man , Is always carefully investigated . and so fa Iota : a single party whoo bond has been rejected it thIs ( office has made any' complaint on ac- qunl of rejection. The guarantee will maintain company wi aol any lobby at Lincoln or pay one cent ! to re- main In the state , The only work that will be done agaln the bill Is to present the facts to the ( members of , the igisiature . apd so far I have not asked the aId br any corporation - poralon or employer who arc Interested In the bond question for any assistance In this matter . I trust fully that the legislature Is not going to pass Any vlelous bulB that will do great Injury to the buslnu of thIs ftqle without first ' carefully considerIng the ques- tion .
