Milwaukee, Wis, Aug 1.-Insurarce
Commissioner Host has decided that -mu-'
,tual life insurance companies doing busl-
ness in this state must distribute their
surplus among the policy holders at least
once in five years. The decision affects
many companies in this country and IN
wolves some $500, 100000 which has been
withheld by companies doing business In
Wisconsin, That the stand Of Mr.. Host
will be fought by the insurance companies
there is no doubt, and eventually 1t will
reach the highest courts: ,...
The decision came in test case on a
complaint made by l.. A. Brunckhorst Of
Milwaukee against the Equitable Life
Assurance Society Of the United States
Of New York. The kind of policies that
will be affected to the greatest extent
are those known as the "tontine,," where
in policy holder and insurance company
enter into a contract by the terms of
which the earnings of the policy are to
be paid at the, end of a term Of years,
generally twenty. BY the terms Of the
policy should the policy holder lapse in
his payments Of premiums in the mean
! time all the money that he has paid in,
| less the cash surrender value, after three
premiums have been paid, together
with the interest earned thereon
goes to swell the "tontine" class fund
and is distributed pro rata among the
policy holders when the time arrives fol
the payment of the interest under the
| contract.
Tn case Of the death of the holder Of {
.tontine" policy before the time for the
1 payment of the earnings, the heirs ant
beneficiaries receive the face value Of thu
policy, and the accumulated earnings, i
any there be, are placed. to the credit o
I the 'stontine'' fund and are distributed
when the interest becomes due, at the ex
piration Of the term Of years for whicl
i the policy is "tontined."

THE SITUATION IMPROVES
National Civic Federation Takes
Hold in Chicago-Good Re-
suits Expected.
New York Sun Special Service.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-Encouraging reports
in the labor situation were to be heard
to-day in contrast with the more or less
alarming rumors current. Extensive in
fluences are at work in an. sendeavor to
work out a scheme Of Cancellation that
will bring the employers and employees into
closer communion. To this end the Ma
tional Civic Federation has representa-
tives in Chicago, whose mission it Is to
confer with the leaders Of the trade union
lists.
John Mitchell, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, took an OPP
timistic view of the situation to-day when
he announced that he had just received
word that an agreement had been signed
whereby the miners employed in the
Southwestern fields receive an annual in
crease in wages amounting to S2,00O,00O.
The scheme Of the National Civic Fed
GRAFTON is to extend the scope Of the asso-
citation so as to bring the wage worker
and the employer together in discussions
relative to wage scales and conditions. Of
work. In the conferences which have
been held this week the proposition to call
a national meeting to be held here the
latter part Of October has met with favor.
It leaked out to-day that a representa-
tive Of the federation held long confer
ence Thursday night with President
Scherdt Of the Chicago Federation of
Labor and the representatives of the lar
gest unions in the city. The association
of employers who favor the plan of con-
ciliation are cooperating with the labor
leaders.
