When the stockholders of the Min

mutualize the paper, it was on the I'M

amounting to about $500, should be

stockholders that the new. organization
would assume the liabilities of the cor

standing that the naturalization scheme
was accepted and the polls thrown open
to Daily subscribers in the choice of

Ignore Salary Debts.
At a recent meeting Of the board of
publishers, which consists Of nine stu.
dent and two faculty members, the
question Of assuming the liabilities of
the old Daily was considered and the
board decided that the new organiza
ton should not assume the salary debts
of the old paper. AS much of the
money owed by the old corporation was
in the nature Of unpaid salaries to stu
| dent editors and managers, this action
is resented by the stockholders, who
leaders in the reorganization scheme
and that faculty influence has beer
used in the board of publishers in al
effort to secure this action by thu
board.
A stockholders meeting has beer
called for tomorrow and the action Of
the publishers board will be consid
cred. Many Of the stockholders have
declared themselves in favor of con
NIT to the action Of the publishing
board, and if this is done the stock
holders will choose an editorial stat
for the Daily and the board Of publish
ers will be ignored in the future con
duct of the paper.

members Of the faculty has brought
sorrow to financially embarrassed sen
Tors, but joy to the managers Of th<
Minnesota Daily and other college pub
LEGATIONS. The edict Of the faculty will
not extend to debts not connected will
university enterprises, but If rumor cal
be believed, it will extend as an iron
clad rule to all university organiza
lions and enterprises.
More than three hundred students ar
