CAR COMPANY IS SLED
z. l.. HARMON FILES BILL AS
MINORITY srOCKHOIDER.
He Contends that j. G. White d. CO.
Issued More Bonds than Neces-
80, sary to Build Traction Conf
..'. .-.t. pany Lines

AS a result of a recent ruling OF the
Supreme Court of Alabama in the case or
r. l.. Harmon against the Montgomery
Traction Company, Mr.. Harmon yes
terday filed a bill in the City Court OF
Montgomery in Equity praying that the
court declare null and void certain ac-
lions of the majority of the stock
holders of the Traction Company.
The Supreme. Court held shat mi
nority shareholder has the right to
challenge the equity of any decision
of the majority shareholders
The bill filed yesterday sets out pra,-
tically the same grounds for relief as
the first bill filed about year ago by
Mr. Harmon, and prays that direct pro-
cess be issued and served upon the
Montgomery Traction Company and its
shareholders. The bill prays for "a ref
erence to ascertain the cost of all work
done and material furnished the Trac-
tion Company and the Interstate Con-
struction Company prior to May q,
1903. provided by contracts dated No
verber 3. 1902 and March 25, 1908. and
the number of shares of stock of the
White e. Co. prior to May 81. 1908 and
to the Interstate Construction Com
panv subsequent to that date.
The orator prays that the issuance
of stocks and bonds in excess of what
the reference proves to be equitable
be declared null and void and that the
defendants be held liable for the dam
age done the minority shareholders
thereby.
Mr. Harmon and other minority
shareholders of the Traction Company
contend that ]. G. White & Co. of New
railroad. and majority stockholders
issued more bonds than were necessary
and the bond issue was without sane
ton of the minority stockholders.

The recent trouble in Chicago be-
tween the striking employees of the
beef-packers and the police re-enfor-
ces the arisIments made by the
opponents of the Anti-Injunction bill
before the committees of Congress
last session. 1t also gives the MEM
bers of the House Committee on Judi
ciary, which is considering the bill, an
opportunity to secure definition of the
word "picketing." Injunctions in
labor disputes are principally employ
ed against strikers attempting TO in
timidate non-union men from taking
their places by employing pickets and
the labor union leaders have been
vociferous before committees OF Con-
gress in defending what they call
peaceful picketing." On the other
hand the representatives of those OPP
posing the nti-Tnjunction bill have
declared that there is no such thing
as peaceful picketing and the present
trouble In Chicago will furnish them
with further ammunition against the
bill.
The arrest of Pre- sident George T.
Golden of the Teamste Union, who
attempted to prevent a teamster from
delivering goods consigned In his care
said Daniel Davenport, the Executive
Agent of the American Anti Boycott
Association today, is a sample of the
trouble which employers have with
strikers 'picketing. Chicago has al
ways been noted FOR the intimidation

A Contrast in Bank Denosits.

In 1892, according to the Official report
of the comptroller Of the currency. there
was deposited in banks of all kinds in
the State of Maine money to the
amount of 500, S50,79S; in 1896 these
deposits We're $75,S04, 424, and in 1908
they were s112,447.9S1. That is. during
the four years of the last Democratic
administration these bank deposits
increased in round numbers s1O,00O,0O0.
while during the seven years in which
the country has been under Republican
rule. the increase has been s31 100000.
These figures are most eloquent in the
testimony they bear as to the prosperity
which Maine has enjoyed in these
Republican good times.
The surprising thing about these
made in our bank deposits during the
hard times of the Cleveland administra-
ton; but, as a matter of fact. the State
of Maine felt the effect of those Demo-
cratic hard times much less than most
of its sister states throughout the
country. For instance, just over the
lire in New HAMPSHIRE, during those
same four years, the bank deposits,
instead Of increasing, decreased from
$50, 435 557 in 1882 to 81 ,921 ,727 in 1896
In fact, in no fewer than 81 states Of
the Union the bank deposits decreased
during that fateful period from 1892 to
1896. But it is needless to say that in
every ono of the states in the Union
there has been 4 large and rapid
increase in deposits each year since
1896
Do the people of the country wish to
return to such times rs they suffered
under Cleveland's administration, or
are they content to go on i'm the en-
jOyment Of Republican prosperity I?
This is the question to be answered at
the polls, this fail, and while most of
