Baltimore, Nov. 19-The annual meet
ing Of the stockholders Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad was held this morning
in the new Baltimore and Ohio building,
and, as had been predicted. all the dI-
rectors were reelected. President Oscar
G. Murray presided at the meeting, which
was slimly attended, and lasted only long
enough TO count the shares Of stock voted.
In some quarters II was thought that
in view of MI Hartman having pur-
chased the 10000 shares Of Baltimore and
Ohio stock sold by the Pennsylvania, and
that this block. together with what he al
ready had and that held by his friends,
gave him control. there would be some
changes officials OF the company had
previously stated that no changes were
contemplated at this time. although it
was suggested that later Mr.. Hartman
may make some.
The directors Of the company are not
expected to meet for organization until
next month. IN addition 10 organizing,
the board is expected 10 discuss the qUes-
ton Of increasing wages.
The Pennsylvania and subsidiary roads
increased the wages Of all receiving less
than 500 month 20 per cent. The Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad employees number
about 57,000. and should the directors fol-
low the same rule Il is estimated that the
increase in wages would cost il not less
than 100000 annually. 1t is estimated
that fully - per cent Of the employees get
