CALL COL. MILLER
In INJUNCTION SUIT

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2s.-Colonel
Thomas w. Miller, Alien Property
Custodian, was ordered yesterday by
Justice Frederick L. Siddons, in
Equity Court, to appear on January
and show cause why he should not
be enjoined from impelling the
rights OF the minority stockholders
OF the Transatlantic Trust Com
pany. a New York City concern
which was dissolved on February II,
1919, some time after the bulk of the
stock had been seized by the govern
ment.
Rudolph Pagenstecher, on behalf
OF himself and the other minority
stockholders began a suit for an ac-
counting about a year ago. The
allegation now is that Colonel Miller
is going over the head OF the Court
and attempting to settle accounts
direct with the Commercial Bank
OF Budapest and the Hungarian Dis
count and Exchange Bank. two
banks which owed the trust COM
pany a total of s2.214,O00.
The object of the original petit
tion filed by Mr.. Pagenstecher was
to find out II this money had been
paid and. IL It had, what had become
of it. He claims that meeting OF
the stockholders was called recently
in New York. and the Government.
by reason that It owned most OF the
stock, voted to settle direct with the
foreign banks over the objection of
the minority stockholders. who in
sisted that the matter OF settlement
was in the hands of the courts.

BORAH BLOCKS MORE
AID FOR FARMERS

WASHINGTON. Dec. rs Omitted
Press) Extension of additional
Federal assistance to the farmer has
again become subject to indefinite
delay. Three things stand in the
way OF expected legislation designed
to help the farmer through the
postwar depression. These are:
1. The Borah proposal for a
world economic conference offered
as rider to the naval appropria-
tions bill.
2. The subsequent delay that
consideration of the Borah proposal
will impose upon passage of ahe ap-
preparation bills In the Senate.
3. Indeclsion on the part of in
terested Senators as to what form
of legislation will be acceptable TO
the administration.
IL has been known that President
Harding would consider the calling
of an extra session only to secure
the passage OF appropriation bills or
farm aid.
UP to last week Il had been ex-
pected that the appropriation meas
ures would be pushed through both
Houses with such speed as TO leave
plenty OF time before March for
the enactment OF agricultural legis-
lation.
The Borah economic proposal,
however, has preclpitatod fight in
the upper chamber.
