Stockholder Seeks Receiver for Life Publishing
Nina Leroy Willer of New York petitions a chancery suit to appoint a receiver for Life Publishing, owner of Life humor weekly, claiming the company is solvent and needs valuation for stockholders. A second suit against Life Publishing and president Charles Dana Gibson asks for an investigation into Gibson’s $59,100 annual pay and $330,600 in five draw drawings, seeking reduction if services prove less than compensation. The plaintiff accuses the board of being under Gibson’s control and unable to consider protests.
