FAv0RS THE MARKET COMPANY
JUSTICE BARNARD RULES IN
THE BOND ISSUE CASE.
Declines to Grant Injunction Asked
by Michael Gatti and Other
Minority Stockholders.

The Washington Market Company may
proceed with the issuance of the $500 600
of cold storage bonds which Michael Cat
ii and three other min ority stockholders
attempted to enjoin on the plea that the
company was exceeding its corporate
rights in offering the bonds for sale. Such
is the decision rendered late this after
noon by Justice Barnard who declined to
grant an injunction after hearing argu.
ments of counsel
The proceeds of the bonds are to be
used in erecting on square 32S, at 11th
and Water streets southwest, a cold stor-
age and ice manufacturing plant
The company, by Attorney A. A. Brney,
contended that the proposed issue of
bonds is lawful and entirely within its
legal rights under the acts of Congress
organizing the company and authorizing
the purchase and Improvement of the
square of ground in South Washington
for its cold storage plant
Answering the charge of the complain
ant that it has received large sums of
money from the sale of stalls and stands
In the market building and has dsburs-
ed only a small portion in dividends to
the stockholders. the company admits the
income to have been large, but denies
that only small portion has reached the
stockholders in dividends. The officers
aver that they have paid to the stockhold-
ers all that it was wise and prudent to
pay and that the surplus fund is only
such as it was wise and prudent to ac-
cumulate.
Need for Additional Room.
The court is advised of the growth of
the market business and of the great
need Of additional storage room to pro-
vide modern facilities for the preserva
tion and handling of large quantities of
produce brought to market. 1t Is claim
ed that stopping of the issuance of the
bonds would cripple the company's in
terests and would be detrimental to the
stockholders because it would divert to
other warehouses business that would
naturally go TO the market company.
The court is told that at stockholders
meeting held to pass on the issue of bonds
1OSl7 shares of stock were voted yea" in
OPPOSITION to only 921 shares, owned by
Mr. Gatti and his three associates. 1t is
also charged in the answer that the COM
plainants without objection suffered and
permitted the company to perfect plans
for carrying out the instructions or the
majority stockholders and should now not
be heard to complain.
The company denied the right OF the
who rented the rooms in the market
building for an armory for the National
Guard 1t declared that the company was
acting within its powers in making the
lease.

Administrative Act Adopted.


The Senate administrative act drawn

This feature provides machinery for the
ascertaining of such values. Customs
officials are authorized to determine what
the value of such imports is in this coun-
try and 10 authorize deductions covering

making sales commissions, according
to whether the goods were bought out
right abroad or were imported upon a
commission basis.
The real struggle over rates fixed by the
House and Senate, which was TO have be-
gun today. was deferred because of the
desire to get reports OH number of sub
jects which were referred to Subcon ferees
and committees for investigation.
In order that no time should be lost it
was decided to take up at once the admin
iStra tive sections in their order. This will
enable the confereeS to dispose of every
part of the bill on first consideration be-
fore taking up the differences. which are
expected to be fought with vigor.
House for Lower Rates.
1t is said that the House conferees in
such expression of opinion as might pe
drawn out by the preliminary clearing
out of dead wood in the bill have been
inclined to make pretty stiff stand
for lower rates.
The House conferees are voicinS strong

ing the wave of hostile sentiment

nothing but downright pressure from the
President will compel them to accept
the Senates corporation amendment 1t
is thought that this pressure will be eX-
erted in due time and with sufficient en-
phasis
The corporation tax amendment is now
being worked into shape by the Presi-
dent and Attorney General Wickersham.
The understanding is that when the con-
ferees reach il the new draft will be sent
to them with the strongest kind of ad-
mnistration Endorsement.
