Hosiery New DURHAM CHRONICLE DU RHA M P0 We feel in some measure rewarded by the way stockholders have ex- pressed their gratitude because of the small ray of light that pierced the darkness through our feeble ef forts. A number have sent subscrip- tions, in order to get more truth through the medium of our columns. We have started out in what we con- sider a good work With a bold deter- mination to check wrong doing, if possible, and regadless of consequen- ces we’ll pursue the even tenor of our ways till the whole business is cleared up, or the stockholi‘ers so roused with righteous indignation that they will force the Directors and officials to themselves on points that are not clear. Ever since the mill was started, yea, ever since the commencement of the promotion campaign, the stockholders have been kept in ignorance. Things have been allowedto run at loose ends too long. It it is high time to call a halt and The Chronicle is proml to think it was in some measure instrumental in startinga vigorous campaign by which we nape the air will soon be cleared “McKechnie Dies Hard” Says One Director, But He’s a Very Live Corpse Yet. Last week we sent aut over fifteen hundred extra capies of The Chron- icle to shareholders of The National Portland Cement Company. We did it of our own free will and accord, believing then and believing now. that such shareholders had a right to know the situation, and know how their money was being handled and what the Company proposed to do with the property. The Last “Chronicle” Roused Determination To Force Directors , To Give An Account of Themselves. STOCKHOLDERS Last week we published a resolu-l tion. evldently intended to mislead} stockholders regarding the company’s willingness to cooperate with the Town Council in their search for ma. terial. The refusal to lend the augur, (and by the way it wasMrchKechnie a Director of the Company and also; the Treasurer of the Co. who was refused.) was referred to as an in- stance wherein the Company did not show themselves in strong harmony iwith the Town Council in making ltheir investigatiens. More than that it is alleged that orders were given to keep the inveStigating party 03 the Company’s property, and even a man put on watch to see that no one should go in that direction. The in- vestigation has been made and both lmaterials have been found in abun- dance; they have been analysed and pronounced of .firsc class quality for lthe production of Portland Cement. {The Town, let us say, went on with {an independent investigation. It is true that the Company oflered later to assist. and would desire to have the analysis of materials made by their own chemist. The Company’s ‘chemist, however. was not consulted and had no part in making the an. alyses. We have no reason whatever to think that the report obtained by the eXpert outside chemist engaged, is at all at variance with truth. Go where you will and the opinion of cement users pronounce our product of as high a quality as any cement made. Last week we sent out a challengeI but hop» to the DU'BCLOI‘S.

We dare them again to give us the resolutions, and in the event of their refusal this time we must conclude that everything isn’t open and above board. One of the resolutions made provision for § the payment of $250 on an option for a rock property in the Niagara dis itrict. Since that time the cheque ‘was submitted for Mr. McKechnie’s 'signature but he refused to sign. We are anxious to have the Board give this resolution in full as reeorded by the Secretary. Surely the books of the Company and the resolutions ; made by the Executive should be ac oeuibie to those who have furnished ‘ the money. ,to put the plant i gperg ation, , we again all: for pub ioity may isheatlmnatioa often! 30 h" later su removal Compan; placed.

We referred very cxplicitly last week to the earning power of the mill and the liquidation of 3110.000 of the dent. Wezalso ~howed that the earni wgs represented between 11 and 12 per cent on the capitalized value of the plant. We advised stockholders to consider before sell- ing at the 160 quoted for months previously in some of the Toronto papers. Let us look at the sequence. On Thursday the quotations in the Mail and Empire were 170, on Mon- day the same. and on Tuesday the stock is not given at all on the un- listed stook. but we find on the same tenth page of Tuesday’s Mail under the heading “Stocks Wanted” “20 National Portland Cement.” This means an increase in the whole value often thousand dollars. It certainly seems that some moneyed sharks were trying to bear the market and crowd out the 'small stockholders. some of whom are widows. girls,and laborers. who have placed their earningsin what would develop, if some of these fellows got their way, into a gigantic swindle. There is something rotten in the State of Denmark and we hope the annual meeting next held will begin an era of greater prueperity in the hismry of the mill. A meeting of the Directors will he held here on Monday next to discuss the marl question. \Ve intend to ask permission to be present, as al stockholder and as a representative of the press. The chances are we’ll be refused the privilege of attendingl in which event there will be furtherl1 ”round for organized eflort on thel {part of the shareholders. Some of l \‘ them dread the press. but we see nol; reason why thev should hesitate to (if have their doings made public. m In the meeting of the Direccors at which the resolution was passed to move the mill. we learn that Pres. McKay was so anxious to place him- self on record that he demanded the yeas and nays. Mr. McKechnie was the only member of the Board to vote nay. To this the President is re- ported to have made the taunting remark. "McKechnie dies hard.” We miss our goers if McKechnie will not live on as an honored and re spected member of the Board of Directors long after the stockholders of the Company decide to get along without having the others on the Direcwxate. We’ll give more next week but for the present we must conclude with a few remarks from letters that show the feeling of stockholders.

The sooner we have a new President the better. He and all the other Directors who favor such a wild undertaking as the removal or sale of the plant of the Company should be removed and re- placed. Only those should be our Directors who have a care for the small shareholders and the savings ‘of the widow and laborer. No one 'should be a Director who has no care for those who. so far. have received nothing for the use that has been made of their savings; for those who if the plant is sold and removed will get back probably n0t more than six cents out of every dollar of their in- lvested savings.
