By the Associated Press. Minority stockholders in the De- troit, Toledo and Ironton Railroad, controlled by Henry Ford, reiterated their opposition in a brief flled with jtoday to the proposed acquisition of | that road by the Detroit and Ironton. The brief was in reply to exceptions made by the Detroit and Ironton to the report of a commission examiner, the Interstate Commerce Commission | inasmuch as it involved a “consolida- tion of two carriers into a single sys- tem for ownership and operation.” could not properly be entertained un- der section 5 of the transportation act. The minority document was filed on behalf of the estate of Leon Tanen- baum, Benjamin M. Strauss and Ed- win H. Nordlinger, all of New York. “The financial colossus, perhaps imagining that he bestrides the world," the brief asserted, “is shocked that these pygmies dare to question his assumed right of the power of eminent domain, by the confiscation of their stockholdings. They should, he maintains, be grateful that he throws them as largess $104.27 per share, be. cause in former years the stock was worthless." “What matter.,” the brief contin- ued,” that the invastments of these minority stockholders were made with | the hard-earned money of early man- | hood and that they were investors in this property vears before Henry Ford | which held that the road's application. had reached affluence?"
