E. B. wilford Urges Stockholders Of
Northern to Act.

Claiming that minority stockholders
Will have no voice In the management Of
the company and that they will he vir-
tually frozen out" should the plan to
reduce the number OF directors of the
Northern Trust Company from 10 to 70
be voted on favorably at the special
meeting of the stockholders, called for
october for this purpose, E. B. VIII
ford a stockholder OF the company, has
addressed a letter to stockholders ex-
pressing his views and asking their pres
ence at the meeting or their proxy.
W. Frederick Snyder president OF the
Northern Trust Company. and by whom
the call for the special meeting is signed
today would not discuss the plan
to reduce the number Of directors. Asked
for what reason this was to be done he
said he could say nothing.
MIR. wilford in his letter, calls atten-
ton to the fact that the notice calling
the special meeting does not give in de-
tail the proposed changes in the bylaws
whereby the changes can be put into
effect. The notice says that a crtan
number OF directors are to be elected for
terms of more than one year, thus the
entire board will not be elected to serve
for the same period. their terms over.
