BONUSES SUIT
Court Reserves Decision in
$36,0O0,0 900 Bethlehem
Fund Case.
BvUnfted Press

b. Jnted PTcss
NEWARK. N. j., April 8.-De-
cision has been reserved by the
court by minority stockholders Of
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation to
recover from officers and directors
s36,0oo.0O0 in bonuses paid them
from corporate funds OF the COM
pany since 1911.
Minority stockholders seek an
order calling on directors to show
cause why they should not return
the bonus money and to restrain Of
ficers from making further pay
ments
Robert H McCarter, plaintiffs
counsel, said the suit was brought
on grounds that the bonuses we're
unseemly and improper" and
amounted 10 about 80 per cent Of
the total distributed dividends
Meeting on April IA
a meeting of stockholders has
been called for April IA, when they
will be asked to vote on the validity
Of the policy Of directors in paying
the bonuses.
McCarter argued that this meet
ing had been called to forestall acc
ton by the minority stockholders
and TO checkmate the court.
He said that even in lean years"
when no dividends had been paid
to stockholders, Eugene P. Grace,
president, had received more than
Z $4,000 900 in bonuses.
Wants Defendants Present
The bonus system was originated
in the corporation by Charles M.
SchWab, chairman Of the board.
John r. Hardin, attorney for the
defendants, argued that there had
been no unfairness in the bonus
system, and that stockholders had
been supplied with full information
regarding it.
Vice-Chancellor Backes asked him
whether the defendants we're COM
ing into court, and Hardin replied
that he was not authorized to make
any statement regarding them.
1T would seem to me that the
men, who are the company, ought
to be here to defend it and make
such disclosures as are essential to
the issue, Backes said, in reserving

We do not follow the honorable calling of a

writes capitalist blah for the World-Telegram.
So we are obliged to comrade NJ K for calling
our attention as follows.

stand against Communism, in mis- column on

human brotherhood, If there is to be from now

Only a stupid fool or a lying scoundrel-and
Heywod Broun is both, would attempt to make
people believe that Communists claim that what
exists in the Soviet Union is human brother

the proletariat, the transitional period of his
tory between capitalism and socialism, only
through which socialism can be achieved
Human brotherhood" has never and can
never exist in a society divided into economic
classes whose interests are mutually and irrecon-
cilably in conflict-and we use the words human
brotherhood in quotation marks because what
the devil it means we don't know 1t is an
abstraction like "justice," which means anything

prostitute himself for the money there is. in it

and that's why Broun don't like it.

wants respected, but each individual Cain, which
Broun knows himself to be, among a class 81
