Hon. j. NJ. Barrett brought action in the
Superior Court asking on behalf Of the

The cause of this complication has been
the determination by the Eastern mana

move the works from this city to an
threatened TO withdraw from the company.
Then came the fire that DESTROYED the
works and an order to reinstate the local
plant in Brooklyn. Mr.. Mcdonald refused
and laid the matter before Fort Wayne
citizens. and SIS. 600 has been raised to re-
build the works. The company was COM
PEELED to accept the donation and to con-
tinue the industry at this point. Last year
the general business depression caused a
great falling off in business everywhere,
and the Boston concern and other branches
were shut down. Mr.. Mcdonald received
orders to temporarily close the Fort Wayne
factory. He refused, and showed that the
works here were full OF work, and he
wouldn't make harder the lot of workmen
whose hours had been reduced. TIL rela-
tons between Mcdonald and the managers
of the General Electric Company, which
held a large portion of the stock in the
local company, became strained, and the
annual election was approaching and immi-

plication of Mcdonald K. j. Hathorne and
Henry j. Miller were appointed receivers
of the old company. There is money TO
liquidate every dollars worth of indebted
ness, and every debt will be met and paid
promptly. The new company will absorb
all current contracts and business Of the
old company, together with that of the
