I'VE want no misunderstanding
about our attitude as to caucuscs. We
are opposed to any caucus which is
intended TO bind delegates or mem-

port and petition Of the receivers OF

argument went over until Monday.
Some time ago Theodore A. Veasey
and William Pennewill. receivers for
the company. filed their final report
and asked for $1,000 for their services
and $1,000 for counsel fees Charles
W. Cullen trustee in bankruptcy
filed exceptions on the following
grounds
Because the allowance asked by the
respective receivers for travelling CA
penses is excessive.
Because the counsel fee asked Tor
the counsel to the receivers is excess
sive- and unreasonable
Because much of the service rond-
cred by counsel was with the view Of
defeating bankruptcy proceedings
against the Delmar Lumber Manu-
featuring Company and was therefore
prcmdicial to the best interests of
the creditors OF said company.
Because the compensation asked by
the receivers for their service is out
Of proportion to any actual service
rendered by the receivers.
That the services OF the receivers
have not been for the interests Of
creditors.
The said receivers. in their said ac-
count. are claiming allowances for
expenses and services for which they
should not be allowed because the
services should have been performed
by themselves as receivers and the
allowances are altogether personal
expenses.
That any allowance of commissions
to said receivers should be made
separately for the services rendered
by each receiver and should not be
made jointly
That the counsel for said receivers
