COCA-COLA COMPANY
MUST NAME HOLDERS

Atlanta, Nov. 1.-The city won
Wednesday in its court fight to force
the Coca-Cola company and the EN-
pire Cotton OIL company to disclose the
names of Atlanta stockholders In order
that the city may tax this stock.
Judge John T.. Pendleton, before
whom argument was heard Tuesday In
the motion division of superior court,
signed an order "Wednesday directing
the two companies to reveal on or be-
fore Nov. 20 the names of the stock
holders residing In Atlanta on June 81,
1920, and also sthe amount of stock held
by each. 1t was further ordered that
between the hours of . o'clock In the
morning and 3 o'clock In the afternoon
of Nov. 20. the companies file with the
clerk Of the court all stock books or rec
ords, SO that they may be inspected by
the city In ascertaining the names OF
the stockholders. In the absence Of
any regular stock books, the order pro-
vides the companies shall file any otner
books or records dealing with the iden-
tity of stockholders.
While no definite announcement has
been made by counsel for the Coca
Cola comany and the Empire Cotton
Oil company, 1t was expected that an
appeal would be taken ut once from the
decision OF Judge Pendleton to the state
court of appeals.
In the event this is done, Judge PEN
dleton will be asked for a supersedeas,
staying his order until the matter
finally is passed on in the higher
courts.
The plea OF the city for the dis
closure OF the names Of stockholders
was fought by the two companies on
the ground that the city already as
sessed a tax on all the assets OF the
and that this covers the
stock held In the city by residents OF
the city. City Attorney James l.. May
son and Assistant CITY Attorney Jesse
M. Wood commended. on the other hand,
that the city is entitled to the privilege
Of taxing individual stocks.
