Re: File 425
Gentlemen:
We have your letter of October 11, 1944 which reads as
follows:
.A .complaint has been filed with us by a stockholder of
the Sacaton Farms Company to the effect that although
the company is carrying on extensive operations and it
is believed earning substantial dividends, it has never
reported the condition of its affairs to its stockholders
and that the latter-are in complete darkness concerning
the financial condition of the company. We have been
asked to ascertain all of the facts direct from the com-
pany.
Since this is a private corporation, there may be some
doubt as to our power to investigate and develop all
of the facts in the case. For that reason, we are re-
ferring the matter to you with the request that yoxt take
such steps as in your judgment are necessary for the pro-
tection of the stockholders.
It appears from your letter that Sacat6n Farms Company
is a private corporation, therefore the Commission does not have,
jurisdiction over the controversy mentioned in your letter.
If there is any difference between the stockholders and
the officers or directors of the company, such difference will
have to be determined by the courts in a civil action if the
parties cannot agree.
Very truly yours,
JOHN L. SULLIVAN
Attorney General
EARL ANDERSON
Assistant Attorney General
