EUROPEAN NATIONS
IN NEUTRAL POSITION
ARE GROWING RICH
SIX Leading Neutrals Are
Now Enjoying Greatest
Prosperity In History

Washington, May 1l.-Six neutra
European nations are waxing wealthy
by war profits, the federal reserve bull
letin today showed.
Despite tremendous increases in theil
public debts and national taxation, the
position of Norway, Sweden, Spain, Hol
land, Denmark and Switzerland is nov
.he strongest in a century.
Between July /, 1914, and February
of this year, bank deposits in these
countries have more than doubled. Al
increase of lbs per cent in reserves il
shown, while the bank note circulation
now is more than 200 per cent of the
amount in actual use July 81, 1914, the
h%diletin says.
We're it not for he astounding in.
~ertd>es in bank deposits, disclosing re.
markaHe commercial activity, the fed
eral reserve board points out there
would be occasion for uneasiness in the
growing debts of the six n%eutrals. AL.
though their total debt at .he most re-
cent date available was only $3,4S9 1885,
000, it must be recalled the combined
public wealth of the countries is about
$4,000, 900, 200.
switzerland, he only n of the six
npurrals from which details of wal loans
are available. has obtained approximate
ly $~S0,000,000 through sale of bonds.
Spain was the only country to which
a shipment of gold was licensed by the
federal reserve board during the last
month. Other neutrals continue to call
tr gold stocks, but their present finan
cial status does not warrant such aid
fyom this government, the bulletin said,
The gain in Americas stock of gold
since the outbreak of the war was ST.
047, 1870 900 according to federal reserve
board figures. Since January l, impor-
tation of gold aggregated $10,56 900,
willie the exports for ME same period
we're $13,6S5, 000. This showing will be
reversed later in the year under normal
conditions and tbs indications for the
coming inward gold movement point to
a much heavier importation than in any
year Of the war, officials stated.

Telegraphers Satisfied
With Boards Decision

Washington, May 1.-THE decision
of the national war labor board in the
Commercial Telegraphers' dispute with
the telegraph companies is thoroughly
satisfactory to union labor, according
to s. j. K%onenkamp, president of the
telegraphers, In the opinion Of labor
men, its ambiguous wording is nothing
more than a diplomatic say Of telling
the Western onion and Postal Tele.
graph companies that the principles
outlined in their platform and contain
ed in the president 3 proclamation
must be adhered to.
The principle upon which the teleg-
raphers stood was that of having the
right to join and organize unions with
out losing their jobs. This was the car
dinal principle outlined in the proela-
nation.
The question Of reinstatement of op-
orators discharged for joining the I'M
ion will be held in allegiance pending
the outcome Of media ion efforts of
William H. Taft and Frank P. Walsh.
The telegraph companies were Gre
quested' to reinstate discharged en-
ployes and are expected to "adhere to
the provisions contained in the boards
declaration Of principles as outlined
in the presidents proclamation"

.uOt Fight Pending Over
Secretary McAdoo's Plan
BY L. G. Martin

(Unitel Press otatf correspondent
Washington, May l1.-lf Secretary
McAdoo persists in his demand for a
new tax bill at Ahis session of congress
he will precipitate one of the hottest
fights in the history of that body
and will delay adjournment until late
N the autumn. This was l,he threat of
mouse and senate leaders today.
The opposition to the tax bill this SEES
sion is three-fold.
Additional taxes now would serious
ly affect the morale of the nation and
cause great confusion-possibly eri zeal
IN the business world.
The revenue law passed last session
probably will produce 81 ,000, 000, 900
more than was expected on it, aud the
.h.rd liberty loan will do likewise, Civ
ing the treasury $4,000, 000, 900 more
than h counted on to bridge ths gap
and,
Taxes levied under a new bill now
would not be collectable any earlier
than if levied at the December session,
But these and othNr arguments may
fail to movt MeAdoo.
The first move on the floor Of the
house to bring a "show down" on nee
essity for a new revenue bill at this
IS m of congress was made by Repre-
sentative Madden, Illinois, today.
.Adden Introduced a resolution call
ing upon the secretary of he treasury
to furnish congress the amount of the
treasury balance on April i.

"We know what obligations the gov
Mt has had to meet since April
