Company Merely Asked for
Suspension Of Order to
y Close the Plant
IN ORDER TO GO HIGHER
Where the Controversy May Be
] Heard on It's Merits and
by Final Court.

The statement in the morning
News of this date regarding the
Clarksburg Zinc Company, the oflc-
ers of that company say, is untrue,
that they told the county court that
they would disobey the order of the
court. But, counsel for the company
informed the court that the Clarks-
burg Zinc Company has large invest
ments here amounting from $50, 900
to $4,000. and that before it would
shut down Its plant 1t would carry
the case to the highest court,
and counsel for the company asked
for a suspension of the courts order
until an Injunction might be grant
ed.
Counsel and the officers OF the
company deny that any chlorine gas
Is emitted from the furnace and as
sert that THIS was proved before the
court by an expert appointed by the
court and also by an expert chemist
from the Franklin Institute in Phila-
delphia.
1t Is claimed by both, one appoint
ed by Ithe court and the other secured
by II. company, that no chlorine
gas Is manufactured at the plant and
no other poisonous or Injurious
gasses.
The officers of the company believe
that the greater part of the com
plant was caused by spite work and
they will not abandon the plant un-
til after the mater is heard and
settled in the court of final jurlsdic-
'tion.
The officers of the company desire
to make this statement to correct that
made by the News that they would
disregard the order of the court. They
merely ask suspension of the order,
until they can get an injunction,
where the case will be heard on its
merits.
