MAY INSPECT BOOKS
Court Upholds Stakeholder S
Right in U. S. Steel Case.

The Appellate Division Of the Supreme
Court to-day dismissed the appeal of the
United States Steel Corporation from an
order Of the Supreme Court directing the
corporation TO permit William Theile TO
inspect the books Of the corporation The
company took the ground that the pro-
vision in its charter limiting the right OF
stockholders to inspect its books was
binding contract upon all purchasers OF
the corporation stock
The appellate court also affirmed an
order Of the lower court, which was based
on the statute that holder Of a share OF
stock Is entitled 10 inspect the books OF
the corporation whose stock he or she
holds This right. the court holds. cannot
be limited by any charter provisions OF a
corporation. Thele held only one share
Of stock. which he admitted he had bought
for the purpose Of the inspection.
