THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY APRIL 18, 1870. "THE BlliKCASTILE LIBRARY SUNDAY QUESTION. To the Editor cf The Evening Telegraph. ' The editorial inTHETEi-EoiurH of Monday, April 11, in refrenc to the decision of Judge Allison in the case of the Mercantile Library, does not state the case fairly, and is calcu lated, though I am sure not designedly, to place the stockholders who are in favor of opening the reading-rooms of the library on Sunday in a false position. I will try and state the case briefly. Article 5 of the amended charter says: "The Board of Directors shall have full power to make find alter such rules and by-laws ai they may deem necessary for the well-being aud due management ( the affairs of the company; provided such by-laws are not repugnant to nor inconsistent with this charter, or with the con stitution and laws of this State or of the United States." Article G of the amended charter says: "That a general meeting of the stockholders of the company shall be held annually on the third Tuesday of January lu each year, at which the Board of Managers shall produce a state ment of the affairs of the institution for the pre ceding year, and such othor business may bo transacted as shall relate to the general interests of the company." Concede to the Board of Directors all the power given them nnder article 5 of the char ter, and what does it amount to ? Only this, "They have full power to make such rules and by-laws as they may deem necessary." This no one pretends for a moment to dis pute or question, bnt the charter does not Bay, neither can it be pervertod or made to say, that the "Directors shall have full power to make all the rules and by-laws," to the en tire exclusion of the stockholders. It does not say that the stockholders shall not be heard, and have no voice in the manage ment of the affairs of the company. On the contrary, artiole C especially provides and declares that "at the annual meeting of the stockholders in January the Board of Mana gers shall produce a statement of the affairs of the institution for the preceding year, and such other business may be transacted as shall relate to the general interests of the company." "Such other business may be transacted" by whom ? Certainly not by the Directors, who now usurp all power, but by the stock holders. Judge Allison says, "At a meeting consti tutionally called the majority of those pre sent have power to transact business within compass of their authority, though they constitute but a small minority of the whole nnmber." Now what has bee the course pursued by the directors in reference to this question of opening the reading-rooms of the library on Sunday ? When the resolution wa3 offered at the meeting in January they made no objection whatever to its being received. At the request of the mover of the resolution its considera tion was postponed for one month (though there was evidently a large majority of those present in favor of its immediate passage), or till the meeting in February, at which the annual election for Direotors was held. This meeting was an unusually large one, and after an animated discussion, in which the members of the board participated, the resolution was passed by at least two-thirds of those present voting for it. In the forty-seventh annual report, just published by the Board of Directors, we have their official announcement, as follows: "Mr. G. M. Eldridge's resolution in regard to keeping the library open on Sundays, after being ameaded, on motion of Mr. Oliver Evans, to read 'from 2 to 8 P. M." was declared carried. A stock vote being called for on this question, was pronounced out of order." . Here then we have the official publication by the board of the passage of the resolution at the regular annual meeting of the stock holders, after being amended by Mr. Oliver Evans, a member of the board; and more, they tell us that "a stock vote being called for, was pronounced out of order." Immediately after this meeting, and even before the report referred to has been printed, a remonstrance against opening the library i.i prepared and sent to those who were sup posed to be opposed to the measure. Churches and Sunday-schools were visited, and in this -way about two hundred and thirty names were obtained and presented to the board at their first meeting. AVe were also told that the number of mem bers present at the meeting was too small to pass so important a resolution, ignoring the fact that when the charter was altered less than one hundred members were present, and a much less number present when it was de cided to Bell the old property on Fifth street, The number present, however, was altogether sufficient to elect them as directors, though cot competent to pass a resolution to open the reading-rooms on bunday. The friends of the resolution to open the reading-rooms then called a meeting, to be held at Horticultural Hall on the evening of March 14, of those who were opposed to the course pursued by the board, and to take such action as would compel them to open the reading-rooms on Sunday. The notices of this meeting were torn down and destroyed by members of the board, after permission had been given by President Perot to place them on the "bulle tin boards" of the library. Alarmed at the earnestness of the opposi tion, a special meeting of the board was hastily called to be held on the same evening (March 14), the business hurriedly transacted so as to appear in the papers of the next morning in order to counteract and weaken the effect of the meeting held by the stock holders. At this meeting the Board of Direotors de termined to take a new vote on the question of opening the library rooms on Sunday entirely the faot that a vote had o o " . been taken on this question at th3 annual meetinff of the stockholders. A oiroular ia also prepared to be sent to each member, in which they deolare "each .wa of stock is entitled to om vote." They also Bay they "consider it important and right, on a question involving changes of bo radical a unture, v afford all tfc stock.- holders an opportunity of expressing their views." They also deolare: "The Board of Direct ors of the library have had under considera tion for several months the question of open ing the library on Sundays." That this is net so is evident from the fact that they were manufacturing excuses and pretexts for not doing it. 'When an individual resorts to trifling pretexts for not doing that which he can and has a right to do, you may be assured he does not intend doing it. But to return. At this time the design and intention of the directors was to obtain a full vote of the stockholders, and that they would be governed by the result. In their circular they say, "Bofore taking final action on the question they desire to ascertain the views of the stockholders." A ticket was also prepared, which each stockholder was requested to sign and return to the library that is, to "vote for opening the library as a reading-room on Sunday," or to "vote against opening the library as a reading-room on Sunday." This position is in turn abandoned. The direotors now claim they are not in any way bound by the result of this vote. If a ma jority of the votes returned be in favor of the Bunday opening they are bound to do it; if two-thirds or three-fourths of the votes be in favor of Sunday opening they need not do it; yea, more, if the entire six thousand stock holders should "vote for opening the library as a reading-room on Sunday," they can dis regard it entirely. We have then the directors participating in the annual meeting of the stockholders at which the resolution was passed to open the library on Sundays, and the offioial publica tion in the annual report that the resolution was passed. Next a protest is prepared and considered at their stated meeting. Then they determine the nnmber present at the annual meeting was not sufficient to pass such a resolution. Next, that a new vote must be had to obtain the views of all the stockhold ers. And finally, that this vote is no vote at all it is merely "advisory" (if the stock holders know what that means). Before the question is settled they certainly will learn that the stockholders have some rights which they are bound to respeot. The end is not yet. "We have determined to fight it out on this line if it takes" till next January, and the Directors may yet find "What a crooked path we weave When first we practice to deceive." Justice. We were among the first to advocate earn estly the opening of the reading-rooms of the Mercantile Library on Sunday, and we think that all proper measures should be taken by those who are in favor of such a reform to bring it about. In the editorial referred to by our correspondent we gave an impartial opinion upon the case as it stands, and we are unable to see that it is open to the charge ef unfairness, There is considerable excitement among the members of the library on this subject, and our advice to both parties is to keep cool and to disouss the matter dispas sionately. As we earnestly desire that the library shall throw open its doors on Sunday, believing that such a course will be of great moral advantage to the community, we pub lish this communication with the hope that it will aid our readers to an understanding of the controversy now being carried on.
