THE EoUIr4BLE QUITS AUSTRIA.
Forced Out by Legislation CnraVorabie 10
American Insurance Companies.

NA'
Word has been received at the office OF the
Equitable Life Assurance Society from Fourth
Vice President George 4. Wilson, who is now
In Europe, that he has notified the Austrian
Government that the society will cease to do
business In Austrin. The causes given for this
action arc discrimination by the Government
against foreign insurance companies, and an at
tempt by the Government to assume what the
officers of the Equitable society consider as UNI
due control over it's business.
A decree has gone into effect - Austria which
follows closely the lines Of the RUSSIAN decree
that resulted some time ago in causing tho
American insurance companies to retire from
business in Prussia. A. Springmeyer. the pri;
vate secretary OF Vice-President Wilson, said
Yesterday that he considered the Objectionable
DEGREES 10 be the work of the German and Aus
trian life insurance companies, who want TO
drive out the American companies. The home
companies do a straight lie insurance business,
as opposed TO the deferred dividend or tontine
policies written by the American, companies.
The Austrian decree. operates against the iSsu-
ance of tontinc policies.
The other American life insurance companies
are expected 10 follow tho Equitable In retiring
from Austria. 1t is stimate that more than
$40, 600, 900 of life insurance Is carried b., Amer
ican companies In Austria. of which Tho Equith
bic, the New York Life. and the Mutual COM
panies have the bulk.
