INSURANCE EXODUS
TWENTY . THREE COMPANIES
 LEAVE STATE OF WISCONSIN,.
Empioyes Left by Departing Concerns
 Arc Engsged by Those Which Remain.

Milwaukee, Wis. Jan. 4.--The hegira or the stock and mutual life insurance companies, which found 1t impossible or inconvenfent to conform to the in- surance laws of Wisconsin. was con- summatcd according to schedule
 By an odd chance. the number of companies which shook the dust of Wisconsin from their agents feet was exactly ga" 1E
 Workmen and clerks were busy in the ofices of the various companies, completing the packing of books and records, and 1t was said that by today the companies would have all removed to more congenial soil, bag and bag gage. Some of the agents tossed a farthian arrow at Wisconsin on the eve of their departure in the form of vague threats of .'retaliatory legisla- ton" in the home States of the com panies represented.
 The companies which have with drawn from Wisconsin are as follows: The Connecticut Mutual, Equitable Life Assurance Society, Federal Life, Fidel- ity Mutual, Germania Life, Home Life, Manhattan Life Massachusetts Mutual, Minnesota Mutual. Michigan Mutual Mutual Benefit, Mutual Life of New York. National Life of the United States, National Life of Vermont. Penn Mutual. Phoenix Mutual Life, Security Mutual, Union Mutual Union Central the Pacific Mutual. the Columbia Ma tionaI. the Des Moines Life and the Se- curity Life and Accident.
 Besides the North western Mutual Life Insurance Company, which, of course. has no option but to continue in Wisconsin. the following named companies will conform to the laws of the State and remain in the field: New York Life, the New England Mutual Life, the Aetna Life the Prudential. the Metropolitan Life, the Travellers, the Central Life of Des Moines and other smaller companies,
 Speaking of the statement that hun. dreds of agents would be thrown out of employment as a result of the de- parture of the companies, a we'll known insurance man said that not more than twenty five competent men are out of employment. The Northwestern Mu- tual and the other companies have ta- ken on as many of the good men who formerly worked for the departing companies as cared to remain in Mil waukee, and advertisements have ap- peared in all the newspapers offering employment to good men and women who were thrown out of work by the action of the foreign companies who left Wisconsin on January l.
