GIVES LITTLE HOPE
TO LARGE CREDITORS

There is very little comfort for
creditors of the Commercial Mainten-
ance and Motor Company, a Washing
ton street concern, which went into
the hands of a receiver in Septem-
Der. 1912, In the receivers report. This
was filed in chaneery today by J.
Henry Harrison. The present habiii-
ties of the company amount to s16,-
0S6. 40, and of this $94S.16 is In pre-
ferred claims. The balance that the
receiver has amounts to only $2,2S4.78.
Not only Is that the case, but the
company has been unfortunate in
collecting three judgments in its
favor amounting to $504.22, and other
claims aggregating $1S2.79. making a
total of $687.01. A few days ago the
receiver, unable to realize on the
claims, held a public sale and sold
them to Littleton Kirkpatrick. of
this city, for $40. In his application
to vice-Chancellor Howell today Mr..
Harrison, the receiver, asked that
the court confirm this sale and the
vice-chancellor allowed an order to
show cause why 1t should not be
confirmed and Mrs. Harrison dis
missed as receiver. The rule is re-
turnable next week. If Mr.. Kirkpat-
rick by any chance realizes on all the
claims he will net himself profit of
something more than $6T7.
The company went into a receiver
ship on September IL last, with as
sets Of $4,5S6.55 and liabilities of s22,-
541.66, inclusive of accounts and bills
payable. The goods, chattels and
stock in trade, with the exception OF
one Kelsey motorette and one one
ton truck chassis. were sold to Rob-
ert O'Gorman for $500. Another
motorette and truck chassis were
sold to A. j. Hole for $500, and out
Of these assets the receiver paid of
lien for s264.32 held on the goods by
Joseph oschwald, the motor com.
panys landlord.

TELLS WHY HARVESTER
COMPANY GOT STEEL PLANT

CHICAGO, June 24.-The Interna-
tional Harvester Company, which the
government alleges operates in re-
straint of interstate commerce, had
excellent reasons for the purchase of
the Wisconsin Steel Company, de-
clared Herbert F. Perkins, defense
witness at the hearing here today.
Mr.. Perkins, who is president of the
steel company, and also at the head
of the purchasing department of the
International, explained that before
the purchase of the steel plant the
defendant company confronted two
difficulties, first the wide fluctuations
in prices Of iron and steel largely
used in manufacturing Harvesting
machinery, and again in obtaining
special rates.

SEES M'REYNOLDS ON
PACIFIC MERGER PLANS

WASHINGTON, D. c., June "a
Paul D. Cravath, counsel for the
Union Pacific, conferred with Attor-
ney- General McReynolds today over
the dissolution of the Union Pacific
merger, with particular reference to
the proposition to exchange s3S, 900
Southern Pacific stock held by the
Union Pacific for a similar amount
of Baltimore and Ohio, held by the
Pennsylvania.
The encouragement has not yet
definitely announced his approval of
that proposal, but his tentative con-
clusion has been that it is a step in
the right direction because it divorces
the Pennsylvania from an interest in
the Baltimore and Ohio, a competing
line. Mr.. McReynolds probably will
advise the United States Court at
st. Paul of his attitude before July /.
The Union Pacific's plans submitted
to the court for the disposition of the
remainder of its Southern Pacific
holdings are opposed by the attorney
general.

BARRIERS To MEET
MASTERS TONIGHT
Conjecture Is That Latter's New
Proposition May Settle
the Strike.

Every member of the Journeymen
BARRIERS Union, whether affiliated
with the original Local No. S19 OF
the recently formed sister local, has
been notified to attend a meeting
of the BARRIERS tonight, when another
attempt will be made to come to
terms with the master BARRIERS. The
journeymen feel confident that the
new proposition which will be offered
by the bosses at the meeting tonight
will be far more liberal than that of
last Sunday.
More gains were reported by the
locals secretary, both in the number
of employers who signed the new
agreement and recruits who joined
the sister local of No. $40. While the
meeting was in progress today a
number of employers called and af-
fixed their signatures to the union
agreement, which provides for Sun
day closing and shorter hours during
the week Many other bosses signi-
fed their willingness to sign provid-
ing their nearest competitors could
be persuaded to do the same.
settlement Expected.
Representatives of both the bosses
and the journeymen today declared
they expected a settlement would be
reached at the meeting tonight or at
least the way paved for a proposition
that would be accepted by both sides
in a short time. 1t was claimed by
many on both sides that the strike
was unnecessary, and had it been
postponed for a week or more, an
agreement could have been reached.
Samuel Feldman, vice-president of
the local, presided at the meeting to-
day at 66 South Orange avenue, and
urged the members to continue their
picket duty and call out all workmen
in the shops whose owners have not
signed. Organizer William Hibble
took part in several conferences yes
terday, and he also looks for an early
settlement of the trouble.
In another part of the same build
ing the striking pearl button makers
also held a meeting. Reports indi-
Gated that the button industry in the
city is practically tied up as result
of the piclSets' work. 1t was also said
that several manufacturers had
shown an inclination to grant the
shorter hours demanded, and that 1t
appeared to be only a question of a
short time when all employers would
come to an understanding and end
the trouble.

as the head of the church in the
