FIGHT ON ANTI-TRUST LAW
One Old Line Insurance Company
Stands Firm in Face of
Heavy Penalty.
The decision of Judge Win
field's, of the Pulaski circuit court,
holding the anti-trust law valid,
and the subsequent filing of the
1 suit for more than a quarter of a
million dollars in accrued penal
ties, has not altered the intention
i of the Hartford Fire Insurance
Company to continue business in
Arkansas, and, it is stated by the
Little Rock papers that the com
pany will remain in the Held until
the anti-trust law is either sustain
ed or declared void by the su
preme court of the state.
The Hling of the suit for s2!*o,
000 against the Hartford, follow
ing the adverse decision of the
lower court, brought forcibly to
the attention of the public the fact
that the Hartford is laying itself
liable, if it remains in the state un
til the case is decided by the su
preme court, to penalties aggre
gating nearly, if not quite, a half
million of dollars, and there has
been considerable comment as to
the reasons which have led the
company to run the risk losing this
large amount for the sake of con
! tinuigg business during the three
months required to secure a final
decision upon the law from the su
preme court. None of the other
old line companies affected by the
! law cared to take the risk, and all
retired the day after the law be
j came operative.
The attitude of the Hartford has
led to the belief that the officials of
the company saw some loop-hole
by which they could escape the
payment of the penalty and that
they were not taking this big risk
alone on the hope of the supreme
court declaring the law unconsti
tutional. Representatives of the
company, however, declare that
the determination to continue bus
iness was due entirely to the belief
that the law would l>e knocked out
by the courts. It is stated that the
company was assured by its attor
neys both in the east and in Little
Rock that the law was unconstitu
tional and could be beaten in the
courts, and that acting on this ad
vice the company was willing to
take whatever risk there might be
in continuing the transaction of
business while the law was being
tested.
It was stated at the time the law
became effective that some of the
insurance attorneys believed that
even if the law was held to he con
stitutional in so far as to bar the
companies affiliated with rating
1 bureaus from the state, the penal
ties could not l>e collected for the
! reason that the state could not im
pose a penalty for acts done out
side the state. Judge Winfield’s
I decision is not in accordance with
this opinion, however, as he held
that the penalty was imposed upon
corporations for transacting busi
ness in this state while members!
;ofa pool or trust. It is stated
that the Hartford attorneys did
not place any reliance in this opin
ion, even before Judge Winfield’s
I decision, hut were proceeding up
on the supposition that the law in
its entirety will be declared uncon
stitutional.
W hile the state has brought suit
against the Hartford for a total of
$300,MX), this does not necessarily i
mean that the state would recover
that amount in case the suits are !
finally decided against the com
pan.v. d'he law provides a penalty j
of not less than $200 nor more
than $T>,ooO a day, and the aggro-,
gate minimum penalties for the
period covered by the suits now
pending would be $12,000. The
, court could, in the event of a final
I decision against the company, as
sess judgment in any amount rang
ing from $12,000 to $300,000.
