Rockefeller proxies seek control of Standard Oil Indiana
Associates of John D. Rockefeller Jr move to win enough shares to remove Robert W. Stewart as chair of Standard Oil Company of Indiana. With about 90 percent expected at the March 7 annual meeting in Whiting, the proxy committee promises dividends will not be cut and urges stockholders to back a leadership change to restore public confidence. The Denver Post reports Midwest Refining stockholders may be mobilized to support the effort. In New Brunswick, tourists from the United States boosted travel with a 59.9 percent rise in fall tourism and 30,549 permits issued for 1928 through November. Also, Mrs Rebecca Bradley Rogers was granted a new trial in the Buda State Bank robbery case.
