THE RECEIVERS GRIP
On the Famous Reading Companies
---Plenty of Valuable Assets


PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20 The applica-
ton for a receivership for the Reading
Company was granted by Judge Dallas late
this afternoon. The application was made
by ex-senator Thomas C. Plat of New
York. as holder of the company's third
preference bonds. The receivers appointed
are; A. A. Mcleod, president of the com
prny; Elisha 7. Wilbur of the Lehigh Val
ley division of the Reading; Edward NJ.
Paxsou chief justice of the supreme court
of Pennsylvania. Justice Paxson has for
warled his resignation as justice of the
superior court to Governor Pattison. The
receivers bond is 5000 900.
The bill in equity declares that the phila-
delphia < Reading Railroad Company and
Philadelphia < Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany, though pos-ess,,I of ample property,
if the same b. judicionsly administered and
held together, to pay all Indebtedness. are
nsolycnt, in the sense that they are without
funds in the shape of cash or assets convert
ible into cash, sufficient to pay the indebt-
edness actually maturcd, or which will
within Il short time mature.
The present condition of the companies is
largely the result of the demands of loans
for which ample security is pledged with
tUt itItNPrs Dtt WHICH iflt inaH HDHitEs
thereof are unwilling at the present time to
renew.
The complainant asks that the rights of
the third preference bon,ihoders he asc,r-
taineh, that the rennsy lvania Company, tor
insurance on the lives and granting an
mutt, :, may be required to institute fore
closure proceedings and take possession of
the mortgagod property of the Railroad
Company and of the Coal and Iron Com
plny, and operate the same until the courts
finally decree, and receiver or receivers
be appointed to take charge of the prop
ert,.
The bill also asks that when the amount
is ascertained dccrcc be entered directing
the Philadelphia & Rculing Railroad Com
pany to pay the amount due the third pre-
ference bundholdcrs, and in default of such
payment, the mortgaged property be sold
under foreclosure.
The order of the court appointing the re-
ceIvers directs them TO continue the bust
ness of the Railroad Company and the Coal
and Iron Company, and njoins the d cfend-
ants and all other persons from interfering
with the receivers.
George II. Earle, Jr., president of The
Finance Company of Pennsylvania aud
commercial agent for the Reading Road,
this afternoon said that the Finance Com
pany has from - ,000,000 To $1,000 600
worth of Reading coal on hand upon which
no advances hal been made. This amount
Mr.. Earle declared enough to pay Rent
ng's floating debt twice otr. When ask d
the cause of the present difficulty, Mr..
Earle said it was due to every body demand
ing money al once which was unnecessary.

An Inquirer reporter saw President Me-

coal on hand, more than enough to ply the
floating obligations, and there will be 10
trouble in carrying on the compauy's Il

about by the fact that We are doing an
enormous business on small capital, and
when this attack was made on us it
hurt our credit SO Tint we couldn't
borrow money The rereiycrsbip will not

rcceivership was forced upon us. We are
not insolvcnt hy any means, but will pay

Hired HELM.

One OF the greatest difficulties which we
have To face in our practical operations is
the necessity of depending ON labor noac
too intelligent. If we could be with our
hircd men all the time TO direct them in all
the details of the work all might be we'll.
We find that farm lahorers of Intelligence
and OF fairly good judgment are extremely
scarce. Probably we, also, have not under
stood any too we'll how TO get our helpers
interested in our plans and work. This,
indeed, is our most important point. We
10 not want mere machines, but people with
some degree of reasoning power. lntclii-
gent persons will not take an interest III
mechanical work unless they know its oh
ject, and the reason why it il done in one
way instead OF another Let them for once
get interested in the outcome and have their
curiosity or inteics. aroused, then the me
chanlcal work done for II certain desired
end will be done with pleasure and relish
rather than in a hull mechanical half hearted
AMI probably imperfect way. Ia short, the
ordinary kind of farm labor is not what the
gardener needs. 1t il well worth his every
effort to secure helpers who have Il natural
liking for gardening and can be interested
in the various operations and schemes.
When such help is found secure it at "nce,
and do not hesitate to pay good wages, even
when ordinary farm Iaborcrs may be hired
quite cheaply. II is better, also, to employ
a really good man the whole year around
than to employ him for only part OF the
year, thus running the risk of losing his ser
vices altogether Gardening.
