THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JTNE 7, 1013. s Nebraska PLAN INSURANCE RATE RAISE Foreign Companies Said to Contem plate Boost at Early Sate. IHONE WORD REACHES CLANCY Belief that Since l.nunl Compnnlen II rive, llren t) riven Ont of DuhI nesa, IXairn Arc to lip lie- , " atored to High Slnrk. 1 (Prom a Staff Correspondent.) (IiTNCOLN June 6. (Special.) Foreign Insurance companies doing business In Ktbraska are liable to find themselyes up against a proposition which will cause them much Brief if they persist In carry ing out a plan probably Inaugurated sev eral years ago, which resulted In put ting local companies dealing In fire In surance out of business. That the companies have organized for the purpose of raising rates, or that they aro organizing, was made plain to Insur ance Commissioner Clancy this morning when one of the leading Insurance men of the state called at his office and made known the plan which Is being followed. This man, who, for certain reasons, does not care to have his name mentioned, was sitting In his office the other Say when the telephone rang. On answering he was informed that he was wanted on the long distance phone from Omaha. The conversation on the phone developed that the Omaha call was In tended for the state agent of the Con tinental FIro Insurance company of Chi cago, but by mistake had been switched to this man's phone. He was noti fied that a meeting was called In Coun cil Bluffs of all agents of foreign com panies for the purpose of raising rates on farm fire insurance and that his pres ence was requested. He was also In formed that another meeting would be called In Chicago later to raise rates on town Insurance. This, according to Commissioner Clancy, is In direct violation of the Junkln anti discrimination law and Is a combination formed for the purpose of raising rates. These same companies by organizing and cutting of rates on fire Insurance forced every domestic company out of business in Nebraska during the last three yeas. It Is now evident to Commissioner Clancy that the organization proposes now that the local companies have been forced out of business by the low rates made by xne comDinauon 10 raise me rates, anu he proposes to make them come to time. It Is said that the combination has been formed by using the telephone In their communications, thus doing away with any chance that evidence could be gath ered against them through correspondence carried on through the malls or by wire. Were It not that mistake was made In the calling of a telephone number It Is probable that the deal could have been successfully pulled off and the people have been made to pay the advanced rate. What action will be taken., in the mat ter Commissioner Clancy was not able to tell until he had consulted with Auditor Howard, who was out of the city when the above' Information was' given to the insurance commissioner.
