0fficers'Win Fight
Against Pay Cut
Vice President Says
Proxies Voted Heavily
Against Proposal
By the Associated Press.


JERSEY CITY, N. j., April s.
The management of American To-
bacco Co. informed its stockholders
today 1t had won overwhelmingly
in an election to determine whether
there should be any change In the
compensation of its officers, includ-
ing George Washington Hill, presi-
dent
Paul Hahn. vice president, said
the company had received proxies
covering more than 60 per cent"
of the voting stock and thai OF
those proxies 97.08 per cent were
against any change in the COM
pensation Of company officials.
Lewis D. Gilbert, the minority
stockholder who led fight to lower
the pay of Hill and other executives,
sat in the front of the 20-by-3
foot room which housed the annual
meeting. He pointed out to Mr..
Hahn that he, too, had received
many proxies but the tabulation
Of his voting strength was not i'm
mediately made known.
Mr.. Hahn read a report of an
auditing firm telling of precautions
taken in receiving and counting
the proxies on the controversial
vote.
The auditors had accompanied
company employees to and from the
post Office to which the proxies
were mailed and had locked the
proxies up in safe each night,
maintaining a guard meanwhile
over clerks opening the letters.
The election also apparently set
tied another of Mr.. Gilberts pro-
posals, that independent auditors
be employed by the company. Hahn
announced that 1894 per cent of the
proxies received by the company
had opposed this suggestion.
With the avowed intention of fore
ing Mr.. Hill to appear before the
stockholders, Mr.. Gilbert introduced
a resolution to adjourn the annual
meeting until Mr.. Hill, who was at
his Office in Manhattan, should show
up at the meeting.
However. he was overruled on a
request that only stockholders pres
ent be permitted to vote, on the
basis of one ballot each, on the res
olution, and his suggestion lost when
Richard J. Boylan, secretary of the
company, voted 2,372,257 shares
against the resolution.
The proxies held by Mr.. Boylan
represented about two-thirds of the
total voting stock of the corporation
With an hour of such wrangline
behind it. the meeting finally got
down to the business of renominat-
ing the complete board of directors
which was unopposed.

Photographer Edmonston Says
MANS Best Work Done After4O

Fifty years photographer, David
B. Edmonston's files take him back
to the days of the Gibson Girl and
the bathing beauties of the gay 90s.
In the world of politics he has pho
tographed every President and most
of the important national figures
from Roosevelt to Roosevelt.
Now stepping into his SD year,
Mr. Edmonston claims he didn't get
really started in his actual work
didn't hit his stride-until he
reached 40.
GAS rule" Mr.. Edmonston says,
"a man doesn't really settle down
until he hits maturity"-and that
period of life comes after the reck-
less days.
Mr.. Edmonston did not start out
to be photographer, but, accord
ing to his own words, he was lit
orally kicked into photography.
Il wished to become a writer"
says Mr.. Edmonston. Dad said the
Evening star., 1940-03-08

best way to start was in q news
paper office. So I got job when
was 13 years old on the old Union
City Commercial, down in Tennes-
see. The force consisted of the edi-
tor, one journeyman printer and
myself-as the devil
"A political rally was held In town
and the boss wrote 1t up Whel,
he got back to the Office he found
the printer 'pi-eyed.' The boss
kicked the printer downstairs and
rushed to the type case to set up
the copy. When he had half a galley
ready he asked me to place it in the
Evening star., 1940-03-08

form on the imposing stone, which
would be locked up as soon as he fin
ished sticking the type.
"On the way stumbled and fell
and that half galley of type scat
tered all over the room. Over my
shoulder I could see the editor COM
ing my way, blood in his eyes. Re-
membering what happened to the
printer, shot out the side door just
in time to escape the toe of the
editors boot. A small hall divided
| the newspaper Office from a photo
graph gallery That was my refuge
rushed in and slammed the door
behind me. When I explained what
happened, the old photographer
said, Perhaps you'd like to learn
photography"
That was the way it began. Mr..
Edmonston learned photography
He came to Washington 35 years
ago, after the gallery he had bought
from the old photographer was
burned out.
Presidential Candidate Harding
made Mr. Edmonston official pho
tographer for his front porch cam
paign, and Mr.. Edmonston photo
graphed most of the noted figures
of the day.
In his studios on F street Mr.
Edmcnston has no thought of re-
firing. Fifty years experience in
photography" he explained, has
taught me that the art is so expan-
sive, so unending in potential ef-
fects, that I feel another so years
might enable me to know just a lit
tie about it."
Remembering his own early strug-
giles, his hobby is to give illustrated
