Insurance Firms Meet Over Texas Laws Fire Insurance discussed
Sixty of the 118 fire insurance companies operating in Texas gathered in New York to review recent Texas legislation. They affirmed they would continue doing business in Texas and debated reviving the Dallas based Fire Prevention Association of Texas. The group decided not to reestablish the association now and referred asset disposition to bureau counsel. Unofficial reports said some companies considered withdrawing in response to new laws and insurance commission rulings.

Immigration Law Critic Keefe Sees Ineffectiveness
Former Commissioner Daniel J. Keefe asserts in a pamphlet that present immigration law scarcely excludes any aliens except the mentally or physically defective, predicting 1.375 million applicants for 1918 with similar exclusion rates and citing ticket agents as a primary cause of the influx. He defends the service against critics who claim farm labor is harmed, noting most newcomers enter unskilled city work and that habeas corpus suits are sought when appeals fail.
