He filed suits, for $75,000 damages in district court" yesterday against Paul and Lloyd Skinner, the Skinner Packing company and the Skinner company. "This is just part of the Howe propaganda," declared Paul Skinner, chairman of the board of directors of the Skinner company. "We hired Kamrath as supervising engineer of construction of oursacking plant. AVe found that he was accepting money, from others interested in the work of construction. He admitted in the presence o'f myself, my brother. Lloyd, D. C. Robertson and J. A. C. Kennedy, tht he had ac cepted $4,600. You can say that for me because it's the absolute truth." Howe Returns Stock. R. C. Howe, who was deposed from the position of president and general manager ef the Skinfier company by a vote of 3 to 2 of the boarc of directors Tuesday, today returned to -the company 14,000 shares of Skinner company stock which were given him early this year ."as a consideration for obtain ing credit for the Skinner company and endorsing its paper."

The stockholders are to have something to say about these whole sale transfers of the company as sets, at the mass meeting of stock holders called by Mr. Howe to be held in the City Auditorium next Tuesday-at 10 in the moming. Skinner "Explains" Action. "The real reason why R. C. Howe has returned 14,000 shares Of Skin ner company stock to the company, is that the board" of directors made a demand on him to do so and threatened suit against him if he did not," said Paul F. Skinner, presi dent of the Skinner company, yester day. Mr. Skinner showed copies of resolutions passed by the board of directors Friday. The last resolu tion passed is to the effect that suit shall be started against Howcfor 1,000 shares of stock which he still holds. , "Mr. Howe's demand made coin-, cident to the surrender of the 14,000 j shares of stock held by him is but i an attempt to draw the focus aay.j from himself and direct it else- where," Paul Skinner asserted. ; "If Howe will now disgorge the- i $200,000 which he received from the j company under no better claim than I he has to the surrendered stock, he I might then regard himself more j nearly purged of his misdeeds to-' ward the company."
