the past seven years. There are %
stockholders. Only ten per cent. OF the
stock was called for in the first place.
The stockholders stated last night that
the charter was not for sale and would
not be surrendered. 80 confident do they
feel Of the justice Of the movement and
the prospect for the future.
One member who Is also connected
