PUBLIC GETS VIEW
OF OIL STRUGGLE
Despite Publicity, Traders
Expect Future to Be
Yelled in Secrecy.

ny the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 29-For the
first time in Wall Streets memory the
time-honored mystery Of a financial
struggle has been abandoned and the
public given a peep at two titans of in
dustry in mortal combat.
The outcome of Col Robert w
Stewards fight to retain control of
Standard Oil of Indiana in the face of
active opposition from John D. Rocke-
feller. jr.. will remain in doubt until the
proxies are polled at the annual meeting
March z, but the public has been
granted spectators privileges at the pre-
liminary proceedings AS Is natural, the
public is taking keen and, at times,
active interest in these proceedings.
Times Are Different.
The alarms and excursions of former
financial trays have been deliberately
shielded from the light of day. Stealth
was thought necessary to the strategy OF
the Canadian interests which bobbed up
one day with control of international
Nickel Arthur F. Cutten apparently
kept his eyes averted from Baldwin
Locomotive until control was in his
pocket. But those were actual struggles
for stocks.
These days are different from the day
of James j. Hill and his hidden Office
where railroads were bought and sold
like so many dozens of eggs. The most
famous battle of all time probably was
the contest between Hill and the Nor
gans, and Hartman and Kuhn-Loeb.
The stock at stake was Northern PACING,
and, with the fight going on, 1t scared
to dizzy heights.
On the day shares reached 81 900 an
agreement was effected and securities
company formed to lock up the stock,
The market fell Immediately to $325
and a panic was precipitated. The hec-
tic day still is remembered as having
set a record of 5000, 900 shares of vari-
Gus. stocks traded. This mark has been
passed many times since then.
The younger Rockefeller Is credited
with inaugurating the publicity cam
paign which has attended his fight
on Col. Stewart. He has applied the
same methods to his own affairs ana
is believed to have engineered the pub
lie appearance of his father, once the
bitter antagonist Of newspaper men.
Publicity Held Necessary.
As a matter of fact, publicity is es-
sential to this fight, which is not so
much one of dollars as one of inf1u-
ence. Mr.. Rockefeller wants Stewart
ousted because of his testimony before
the present senatorial committee of in
vestigation. The Rockefeller interests
control approximately IS per cent of
Indiana stock and are fighting, not for
stock control, but for voting proxies
with which to carry the annual meet
ing.
Against the forces of the opposition
Col. Stewart is marshalling the stock

clude that Senator Walsh, as examiner
for the committee, had no other pur-
pose in questioning him, the brief con-
tinued, than to probe into the questions
involved in the litigation pending and
proposed to be brought by the Govern
ment against Sinclair and his COM
panies.
The matter having been sent to the
courts by an act Of Congress. the Sem
ate committee, the brief added. should
have stopped the investigation. De-
cited in the brief to sustain the argu-
ment that committees of Congress had
no right to interfere in any way in
matters pending in the courts.

a way of rushing in when earthquakes
are imminent. Every one posted be-
lieves that something will occur fol-
lowing the annual meeting, but no one
appears to have definite idea Of the
direction in which the stock will move.
In spite of the publicity being given
the struggle, the impression of traders
is that events of the future remain as
carefully hidden as in the days of
barred doors, assumed names and blunt
denials

SCIRE FACIAS ACTION
 FILED AGAINST LAWYER
Louis Nair Demands Atty. Stempien Pay Court Judgment Rendered
 Against His Client.

Louis Nair, through the law firm of Nair G5 Nair, has brought a scire facias action for S1,000 against At torney Martin F. Stempien to force him to pay a judgment obtained by the plaintiff against Frank Bor- donaro in city court in October 30. 1929. Attorney Stempien, the plain tiff claims. is holding money Of Bor- donaro sufficient to pay the claims.
 The action is brought rarely and is an extremely unusual one, aC- cording to the complaint.
 The plaintiff claims that in a suit for s1,000 brought on April 19, 1929, against Bordonaro, represented by Attorney Stempien, he received a judgment in city court on October 30, 1929, for $86S.35 and costs of $51.5G.
 The plaintiff then obtained an execution and had it served through the city court by Constable John $, Recor. Attorney Stempicn refused to pay the judgment or show any estate of Bordonaro saying that he held money of Bordonaros in his possession, it is alleged.
 The writ in the scire facias action vas served today by Constable Re cor and was filed in city court where it will be returned the fourth Monday in November

RAILROAD ID PAY
 S9,OOO ON BRIDGE
City to Provide Balance for
 Black Rock Structure

Representative of the New Ha- yen railroad. meeting today with Mayor Paonessa and City Engineer Philip A. Merriam. agreed to assume 5000 out of total of s22,900 es- tlmated as the cost of construction Of a new bridge and approaches on West Main street.
 This figure was agreed upon after the railroad men had offered to pay $4,000, but were induced 10 raise this amount to include approximately ono-half the cost of the structure. and pay Sl,0G0 toward the expense of new approaches.
 It has been estimated that the bridge will cost SIG, 6,500, with chang cs in the grade and construction of the roadways on either side adding 36,400.
 Mayor Paonessa will seek early &C., ton by the board of finance and tax alton and by the common council :o provide work for unemployed and 10 speed the job to completion. The bridge will be built by railroad com- pany engineers and workmen. If saving is effected, it will be pro- rated to the city and the company.
 The board of finance and taxation will be asked Friday night to appro- priate $13,900 for this project.
