la the cause of this trouble over graded commissions In the State at pres-entT Why It la nothing more than a move to force all of the non-union companies Into the Union By tha separation of the companies It practically places the local board system under the control of the Western Luton or the combination of the leading Insurance companies ot the United Stales The result of the entire affair will be tha adoption of certain legislation tn the various State which will destroy this big combine In order to Induce their men to give up the non-union companies tbe union companies have increased their commission granted merely as a bid to local agtmts to hold up rate which they will do in consideration of tbe Increased graded commission paid them This union haa been killed In a number of States by legislation The same will result In It la understood that a movement la now on foot to take the matter up In the Legislature The non-union Insurance companies will make an effort to secure the passage of certain laws preventing the operation of the union In this Btate a a Maj 'WhiUhorne wsa a conspicuous figure In tbe lobbies of the Tulana and Maxwell last evening The Major arrived In
