U. S. Judges Conclude
Hearing in Lincoln
Street Railway Case
Federal Judges Smith, Wade and
Woodrougn, sitting en banc, con
cluded yesterday the two days'
hearing of the application of the
Lincoln Traction company for an
interlocutory injunction against the
Nebraska railroad commission to
restrain the enforcement of the
commission's orders in connection
with street railway fares. The case
was taken under advisement, the
court announcing that it could not
make a definite order at this time.
A ruling was made which is de
clared to be a victory for the rail
way commissioners. The commis
sioners had ordered the traction
company to file an inventory of its
property but the company refused
to do so. The court directed that
this inventory be filed at once to be
used in determining the case.
On account of the great mass of
evidence and arguments, written
and oral, the decision may be de
layed for some time.

MORRIS PROFIT
SHARING PLAN
IS ANNOUNCED
Packing Company Will Confer
Benefit Upon Employes;
Plan Goes Into Ef
fect on July 4.
Distribution annually of more
than $500,000 in interest on capital
and profits on investment of Mor
ris & Co. packing plant is announced
by the company in the shape of a
new "profit sharing plan" to be
launched July 4, for the benefit of
Morprs employes of the United
States.
Company bonds will be sold to
employes, both men and women, at
$82.25, or $16.75 less than par, a
guarantee of a 5 per cent share in
total annual earnings of the com
pany for the year during which the
bonds are held, plus interest rates of
5 per cent, to go with each pur
chase. The local plant employs 1,700
persons. The net earnings of the
Morris plants for the year ending
October, 1918, were $4,217,853.85, of
which 5 per cent of the amount
which would have been turned over
under the new plan, would be $210,
892.90. Employes who purchase
bonds before September 1, this year,
will share profits for the entire year
ending November, 1919.
"We are expecting large blocks
of stock to be sold," J. H. Kenna,
manager of the Omaha plant, said
Monday. "Our employes have beeri
quick, in the past, to realize the
value of investments made for them.
"Morris packing Co. owners have
fathered three similar projects in
the past 10 years, the Morris pen
sion fund, the Employer's Benefit
association and the Valmora tuber
culosis sanitarium of New Mexico."
Allow Payment Terms.
Mr. Kenna explained how the
plan -would operate. An employe
earning $1,000 per year who invests
$50 in collateral bonds at 4J4 per
cent interest rates can pay for his
investment in two years by having
$4.58 deducted from his weekly pay.
Earnings of the investment for the
first year would be: Interest, $24.75,
and profit sharing, $22.82.
The plan will operate under two
sets of directors, one appointed by
the company, a board of five, and
the other selected by employe stock
holders, a chairman and an execu
tive committee of three. The com
pany's committee, already appoint
ed, is as follows: J. H, Klise, W. F.
Sheely, J. H. Kenna, Sherman T.
White and Miss E. M. Kinney.
