Monday of ivK hearing of evidence in the con DfrftTfrsy between R. C. Howe and .l-royd M. aid Paul F. Skinner over management of Skinner company affairs yesterday. i. . A. C Kennedy, representing the 'Skinners, and Francis A. Brogan, representing Howe, reached an agreement for additional time to prepare for a hearing on Howe's re quest for a permanent injunction to prevent interference witfi his exercise- tt the duties and powers of president of the Skinner company. " The hearing Monday also will in volve a temporary restraining order "issued late Friday by Judge Les lie against the holding of a meet ing of Skinner company directors, called by Lloyd M. Skinner for a-m a m tndav frt rnnsider "re moval of Robert C Howe from the presidency of the company." Mr. Skinner, it was stated, sought ap proval of directors for his action in summarily outsing Howe from his $.10,000-a-year job last Wednesday. The restraining order against the proposed directors' meeting was to remain in effect, Judge Leslie ruled, until after a decision on the legality f the ousting of Mt. Howe. ,.tA crowd of stockholders, ' stock salesmen and others interested in the, outcome of the court proceed ings gathered in the court room for the hearing yesterday.
