"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. Ed.
