INHERITANCE TAX VALID.
United States Supreme Court Hand
Down Several Decisions.

United States Supreme Court Hands
Down Several Decisions.
Washington, May 16.-The supreme
court of the United States yesterday
announced opinions in the cases aris-
ing under the inheritance tax provis-
ion Of the war revenue act, and in a
case involving the applicability of the
state inheritance tax law of New
York to estates composed of govern
ment bonds. There were five decis-
ions under the federal laws and one
under the state law, but two of the
former class applied, as did the one
from the latter class. to the taxation
Of government bonds. The court held
that neither under the state nor un-
der the national enactment were ma
tional bonds exempt from taxation.
The validity of the general federal
law was affirmed. but it was held to
be purely applicable to legacies and
not to entire estates Of the deceased
persons. the court holding that 1.-THE
tax is on the passing of legacies or
distributive shares of personality,
with a progressive rate on each, sep
arately determined by the sum Of
each of such legacies or distributive
shares" The decisions dealing with
the federal law as a whole were
handed down by Justice White, and
those relating to government bonds
by Justice Shiras.

UNION RECOGNIZED.

IL Settled.

IL settled.
St. Louis. May 16.-There were i'm.
p6ftant Developments in the street
car strike situation yesterday. At
q conference held between the officials
Of the Suburban Railway company,
the only system in st. louis not con-
trOlled by the st. Louis Transit CON-
pany, and on which strike was IN
augurated ten days prior to that de-
clared or. the Transit system, and the
officials and employees of that road,
an amicable adjustment was effected
and the men will return to work in
the morning. On just what basis the
strike was settled could not be
learned. but it can be positively
stated that the union received full
recognition. In many quarters it is
figured that the settlement Of the
strike on the Suburban presages an
adjustment of the difficulties between
the Transit company and its 5000
striking employees in the near future.
In fact it was learned last night that
at a conference held in the afternoon
Of the officials of the transit company
the chairman of the employees griev-
ance committee and some of the men,
bers of the citizens committee mat
ters were adjusting themselves nice
ly for settlement of the difficulties
when a member Of the citizens COM
mittee injected into the proceedings
proposition of such a character that
the discussion was brought to close
with matters no nearer settlement
than had hitherto existed. 1t is
thought however. that future meet
ing Of the same parties will result in
establishing bacis for the settlement
of the strike. The Suburban company
had no difficulty in maintaining q
thorough running schedule yesterday
and no serious demonstrations on
that line occurred. On the Transit
company's system there were a num-
ber of demonstrations, more noisy
than otherwise.
