S.)— Reporting an increase of well over $100,000—perhaps more than $125,000 —in surplus in the last ten months, President Matthew Woll, of the Union I,:»bor Life Insurance Company, laid before the executive board of the com pany, meeting here, a report of prog ress never equalled in the history of American life insurance. The ten months in which this tre mendous increase in surplus was re corded followed the first six months of the company's operations, setting a record likely to stand for many years, if indeed it is ever equalled. "It is universally true," said Presi dent Woll, "that new life insurance companies decrease their surplus for the first two years. "Not only have we increased our surplus as stated, but we have writ ten more insurance than was ever written by any company in its first eighteen months of life." The increase of surplus is attrib uted to the fact that the company is a union labor organization, backed by the labor movement to the con servative management of the com pany and to a favorable mortality rate. For the first time the company is operating a booth in the American Federation Jf Labor convention hall, presided over by Vice President-Gen erla Manager Rainard B. Robbins.
