THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JANUARY M,

PREDICT FIGHT FOR CONTROL OF

EQUITY PLAN! Showdown is Expected at Meet- j

ing to be Held in Fargo Next j Week to Consider Plant j

CURTISS' SHORT-TURN

CASEY IS SEEKING LOAN

Fargo, Jan. 14—An open fight for control of the Equity Cooperative Packing company and the discussion ot a pioposoa change in the constitu­tion of tne Equity Cooperative ex­change by which the present proxy system, would be abolished and a "delegate" system providt-i in place of it, will be the big features of the annual meetings ol' these two corpora­tions, both of which will be held in Fargo on January 17.

Th& light for control of the Equity Cooperative Packing company is a continuation of a controversy be­tween two opposing factions of stock­holders which was begun at the an­nual meeting last year. One faction, headed by C. Wl Jte-ichert is seeking to oust from control, the present board of directors, headed by Presi­dent P. M. Casey. '

The iteichert faction is appealing to ' stockholders of the packing company

to send Ini proxies, it is the conten­tion of this faction that the entire present board of directors has signed a.stipulation to r&aign and that therefore an entire new board is to be elected at the meeting. It is further contended that unless there are MX) stockholders present at the meeting, either in person wr by proxy, that there will be no legal election under the by-laws and that therefore the present ooard will automatically hold over. j

Present Directors Tlio present board of directors of

the packing company consists, of the following: P. M. Casey, J. C.' Leum, 'Aiayvilie; H. P. Beckwith, Fargo; J. C". Bergin, iHendrum, Minn.; Wra. Ql-son, Valley City; Anthony Walton, (Mnot; Louis Altenbernd, Sabin; A. E. Wailey, Velva; >C. D. King, Menoken..

Casey in Washington P. M. Casey is in Washington con­

ferring with the War Finance cor­poration regarding the- possibility of getting funds for the packing plant througn the corporation. 'No infor­mation regarding his side of the con­troversy has been made public.

An angle of the packing plant situa­tion which will be up fior solution at the coming meeting of stockholders, is the judgment against the company, held by Louis Altenbernd, one of the directors, for $56,000, and a court or­der ljjr the sale of the 24 houses and the.- store belonging to the company at "West Fargo, where the packing plant, is located, to satisfy this judgment. This sale, originally set for early in December, has been postponed by.stip­ulation from time ta> time and is now set for January 27. Mr. Altenbernd recently secured another judgment against the company for $4,000 addi­tional, and it is reported that othet claims have be&n or will be filed in a j short time.

Plan to Abolish Proxy The Equity Cooperative exchange,

of which J. M. Anderson is president, will vote on amendments to the con­stitution and by-laws which would wipe- out the present system, of voting by proxy at the annual meetings, and would give the board of directors au­thority to group the stockholders in local units. These local units would then be entitled to elect delegates to attend the annual meetings. A second amendment provides that 15 per cent of the- stockholders, represented in person or delegate, shall constitute a quorum. At present a majority of the 22,000 members must be present, in person or by proxy, to constitute a quorum. A third amendment would provide for changes in the constitution by majority vote, rather than by two-thirds vote. ,

PHOTOCAR FOR

FAIR PREMIUM FUND OVERDRAWN A knotty problem has been brought

before Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor J. A. Kitchen in connection with the state appropriation for pre­miums at the North Dakota state fair at (irand Forks.

The legislative appropriation to the fair association is $10,000. Former Ccmmissioner of Agriculture and Labor J. N. Hagan had approved bills for premiums amounting to $11,-110.62, according to Mr. Kitchen. Since it has been discovered that the appropriation was not sufficient to meet the total awards Mr. Kitchen feels it will be necessary to strike pjpnie of the items front- t

wards for which payment' list of made.

Cadillac Announces Reduction Of Prices

————— ;./•! Xo *,

New Figures Take Effect On All Type 61 Models

Substantial price reductions have been announced by the Cadillac Mot^r Car Company, of Detroit, on all ten models of the Type 61 Cadillac motor cars. The reduction on the Touring Car is $790, and on the Sub­urban $940. ii'---

In reviewing the conditions under­lying this announcement, C. Bertsch, Jr., of the Bismarck Motor Co., agents for the Cadillac car, made the follow­ing statement:.

"The Cadillac Co. has during the. latter part of this year successfully completed the task of bringing to­gether practically all of the largest manufacturing units into what we be­lieve is the most.modern and scien­tifically arranged automobile plant in the world for the manufacture of a high grade car. In this new factory we have taken advantage of every opportunity to systematise the vari­ous manufacturing operations that go into the making of the Cadillac auto­mobile and the resulting economies have helped to make possible this re­duction in out price without decreas­ing in any way the quality of our product.

"We are passing all of these sav­ings on to purchasers of Cadillac au­tomobiles together with such addi­tional savings as, in common with all other manufacturers, we have secur­ed from the lower markets for raw materials of all kinds. The lowered prices, we believe, set an entirely new standard of motor car value."

The interior of the body is ingenious" ly arranged so that a man can climb up a ladder-like arrangement, bringing him to a heifhth of ten feet from the ground and giving him a commanding view of any events which may be ta­king place. The body is also used as a dark room in which negatives may be developed and finished, guaranteeing speedy service, which would otherwise :be impossible. 1

The "graflex wagon," or photocar, as it is variously called, is the very latest thing in rapid newspaper photography. It is significant that for speed and reliability—which are so vital in thisbefore game—Dodge Brothers chassis was' chosen to furnish the power.

ORDER BRIEF IN MILLER CASE

GREAT NOVEL BY CHURCHILL IS

SCREENED "The Inside of the Cup" Which

Created a Storm To Be Shown Here ̂ 1

Every reader of current literature will recall the sensation caused by the publication- several years ago of Winston Churchill's powerful novel, "The Inside of the Cup.' The story attacked the alleged hypocrisy of cer­tain clergymen and men of wealth identified with churches as vestrymen. The philosophy of the book was crit­icized by churchmen in this country and in England as an unwarranted at­tack upon religion and the cloth.

The picture rights having been ob­tained by the Cosmopolitan at great expense, the story was picturized by Albert Capellani, a famous director and 'the film version will be shown at the Capitol Theater next Monday. The essent'al features of the atory, which is one ot great dramatic force, have been retained while the anti-hypocrisy philosophy of the author necessarily has been subordinated to the general theme.

The story deals with the 'Rector of a fashionable church who turns upon, his wealthy parishioners when he discovers them parading under a mask of hypocrisy and invites the common people to attend his church. Eldon Parr, a vestryman, unscru­pulous and tyrannical, alienates' his son and daughter and is finally killed by a man whom he has ruined. There is a pretty love romance between the Rector and Parr's daughter, which ends Jiappily. The leading roles are played by William P. Carleton and Edith Hallor.
