Amster Expects to
Name Four Rock
IslandDirectors
Opposition Admits He May
Gain Representation
on Board

William Z. Ripley, professor OF rsil-
road economics at Harvard University'
and Henry Brucre, of this city, Will be
proposed for membership TO the board
of the Chicago. Rock Island e. Pacific
Railway at the annual meeting oil
stockholders TO be held in Chicago to-
morrow by the minority stockholders
committee, Of which Nathan Il. Amster,
Of Boston, Is the chairman. Mr.. Am
ster. who is also chairman Of the Rock
Island executive committee, in state
ment issued yesterday said that he had
received enough proxies TO make 1t rea-
sonably sure that these men, with him
self and one other not yet named, will
be elected directors.
Asked TO comment on Mr.. Amster's
prediction, Charles Hayden, chairman
of the proxy committee representing
the present management of the Rock
Island, said:
viii Abide by Decision
at is quite possible that Mr.. Armster
will be able to swing enough votes to
elect two or three Rock Island direct
ors. We are making no claims now for
our committee. We will be content to
abide by the decision indicated By the
vote of the stockholders at the annual
meeting tomorrow"
In his statement announcing that the
minority stockholders committee had
agreed on Professor Ripley and Mr..
Bruere for Rock Island directors Mr..
Amster said:
Following out my views that rail
road company should have on its board
men of ability and knowledge of the
railroad business, and not the usual
financier and banker director who has
additionally made up the personnel Of
American railroad boards, the proxies |
received will be voted for men who are
not only deeply interested in the minor
ity stockholders struggles, but have no
allegiance or sympathy with the tradi"
tional type Of Wall Street directors.
and at the same time have a real under
standing of railroads and all that goes
to make railroads a success.
Sure of Three
Crock Island stockholders have good
reason TO congratulate themselves on
securing such men as Professor Ripley
and Mr.. Bruere TO represent them on
the board Of directors. Not being sure
as 10 whether we shall be able 20 elect
more than these two gentlemen and
myself, il would not be practicable for
me now 20 announce any further slate,
as | would not like to mention names
until sure | can elect them
