since the buying In of tho company by
the northern capitalists. In answer to a

case; at least not at present, as the COM
pany had not as yet Strengthened out
what they will do in the future.
He said that he was en- route to New
York to attend a meeting of the new
board of directors. which takes place in
that city next Monday, and that at the

1t is well known that the purchasers
of the company are associates of Schoen
