Reorganization, Possibly
Receivership. Planned
To Continue Work
Minority Stockholders Said
Objecting to Lack of
Regular Reports
By C A. SPRAGUB
The Involved affairs of the Ore
gon Linen Mills promise to come
to head within the next week or
ten days. The resignation of Col.
: W. B. Bartram as manager has
precipitated the problem which
-has confronted the officers and
directors for some months, name
ly the financial reorganisation of
the company. . The mills were
closed down recently with . some
assurance that they might be .re
opened in case pending orders de
veloped. A recent effort to inter
est eastern interests in the enter
prise failed. - ,
The board of directors, com
posed chiefly of local and Port
land men, is due to meet Monday
to act on Bartram's resignation
and discuss the future . of the
property. Rumors were current
yesterday that a receivership
might be recommended in order
to eonserre the assets of the company-
with a riew to reorganiza
tion and resumption' of opera
tions. In case a receivership oc
curs, operation would be contin
ued by the receiver.
Stock Holders
Main Objectors
A group of minority stockhold
ers have become active the past
few days and have considered the
formation, of a stockholders' pro
tective committee. They have be
gun inquiry into the company's
affairs.
The complaint of some
stockholders is that no meetings
of stockholders have been held
since the initial meeting to organ
ize in 1925; that no annual re
ports of operations have been
made to the stockholders; that
the directors have continued to
hold office without holding the
regular annual meetings for elec
tion of directors, unless they were
held without notice. Further com
plaints have been made that the
affairs of the company were
turned over to the manager and
that the board held infrequent
meetings and so did not know
the costs of operation and condi
tion of the company.
While none of the minority
group was willing to be quoted
direcly, they stated that they
planned to do everything in their
power to save the linen industry
for Salem. They expressed their
faith in the future of the enter
prise if the combination of suffi
cient working capital and experi
enced management could.be ob
tained, and pointed to the success
made at the Miles Linen mills
when It was taken over by new
management a few years ago.
Not Concerned In
Merger Proposal
The group which has been cpn
" ferring the past week is not in
terested in the Miles plant and Is
solely concerned in protecting the
Interests of the stockholders of
the Oregon Linen Mills, so that
the mill may be continued as an

Outlets to Salem sewers were

erick Strieker, state, health offi
cer. Dr. Vernon A. Douglas, coun
ty health officer, and H. H. Van
devort, member of the city coun
cil.
The inspection trip was occa
sioned by fact that outlets to the
three of the city and the state
sewer on Center street, are not
covered, due to the low level of
the river. As result of the trip.
Dr. Douglas said last night some
kind of report on the condition
would be made to the city coun
cil next Monday night.
Members of the Inspecting par
ty were of the opinion that it will
not be a difficult problem to cor
rect the situation. State regula
tion requires that every sewer
outlet be entirely under water,
which Is ordinarily the case here
except m one or two summer
months.

Here the sewage empties into a
