PLOT.
Nl]ONAN
SAYS.

Suit to fore the North
American Company to turn
over to a receiver all its hold
ings in the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company
was filed in the District Su-
preme Court today by John
j. Noonan, largest minority
stakeholder in the local COM
pany.
Would Force Sale
This is the most drastic step
Noonan has yet taken in his efforts
to block the street car merger.
rVhe suit would compel the New
York company to sell all Of its stock
in the local company. The receiver
would be appointed by the court to
prevent the foreign company voting
it's stock pending completion of the
sale.
The New York holding company
and the local railway company are
named joint defendants. The case
was set for hearing next Friday
Law Is Cited
Noonan cites the act of Congress
Of March 4, 1918 which makes IT
unlawful for a foreign public utility
corporation or holding corporation to
do business in the District without
sanction of Congress.
The North American Company mas
not obtained Congressional authorize
ton to hold stock in the Washington
Railway and Electric Company, and
it's acquisition of more than halt OF
the stock in the local company Is
illegal, Noonan contends.
Long Tie-Up Seen
The suit, it is believed. will indefl-
nitely postpone action in the pcno,
ing local street railway merger
negotiations.
Mr.. Noonan charges that the
North American Company has H.
legally acquired possession of 50.1o
Der cent of the issue of more than
76. 900 shares of common and pre-
ferred stock of the local street
railway company and thus has
