BIG ROW
IS ON TODAY
WILL HARTMAN
Win Out and Control the
Union Pacific by Electing
His Men to the Directorate
Today in Salt Lake City?
fsentiners Special News service)

y
| New York, oct S.-Great interes
is manifested in financial circles il
the action to be taken by the stock
holders of the Union Pacific Rail
road company at their annual meet
ing to begin at noon today in th'
offices of the company at Salt Lake
CITY. Utah. As stated in the call
the session is for the purpose of ''the
election of fifteen directors of the
company and for the transaction OF
such other business as may legally
come before the meeting" The pres
ent board of directors is composed OF
E. II. Hartman, william G. Rookie
feller. Henry II. Rogers, Henry C
Friek. Robert w. Goslet. Charles A,
Peabody, Oliver Ames, William ID.
Cornish, James Stillman and p. x.
Valentine.
While It Is expected that the meet
ing will be a eut-and-dried affair,
an element of Interest has been adled
by the sensational open letter ai-
dressed by the New York World to
the directors of the Union Pacific
detailing the financial career of E. II.
Hartman and demanding that he be
ousted from his position of supremacy
in the affairs of the road. 1t says
in part:
"You will meet in Salt Lake to
pass upon the acts of Edward II.
Hartman. You will there decide
whether. in the language of the pro-
xies soliciting votes therefor. you
will specifically approve and ratify
his acts.
''In reality. what you are called to
pass upon has a mucn broader inter-
est than your own corporation. 1t is
whether the standards of honesty, of
trust, of business honor and civic
responsibility of the leaders of finan-
ce of the United States shall be high
or low. Specifically. you are called
upon either to approve or disapprove
the acts of Edward Fl. Hartman ard
to signify whether he is your ideal
of corporate manager. of a trustee.
of financial leader. or whether the
acts which he has confessedly done
which he has confessedly done are
are such as to demand his and their
reputation by you and to iisqualify
him from further continuance in any
place of public power or responsible
lity.
THE present prevalence of finan-
cial distrust, popular apprehension
and credit disorganization is due
more directly to Edward H. Harri-
man than to any other one person
In the successive disclosures of Equi-
table corruption, Union Pacific cor
ruption, Chicago & Alton corruption
and political corruption both in any
state of New York and nationally,
Edward II. Hartman has stood
forth as the master mover and chief
He is the pre-eminent
figure in all these transactions, and
the just public demand for his pun
ishment should be fulfilled So long
as his control is contionued, so long
as his methods are tolerated, so long
as he is protected by directors NOR
ally responsible for his practices. just
so long will the public believe that
Harrimanism is typical of all Amer

ment against all great corporations.
