United Press International DENVER — Continental Air lines balked Wednesday at Texas International Airlines’ bid to assume majority control and re jected a motion to allow stockhol ders to vote on an employees’ plan to buy their own company. TIA, which owns 48.5 percent of Continental’s outstanding shares, offered a resolution at Continental’s annual stockholders meeting to require a vote of the owners on the possible issuance of 15.4 million new shares of stock. To the wild applause and whis tles of an estimated 2,000 Con- tinenal employees who packed the meeting, the resolution was ruled out of order by Continental Presi dent A.L. Feldman. Feldman said the shareholders last year gave the board of dire ctors the authorization to issue additional shares of stock and gave the board total control over when the shares would be issued. Attorney Phil Bakes of Hous ton, senior vice president of TIA’s parent company, Texas Air Corp., protested the ruling, but Feldman said his decision could not be appealed. Bakes said TIA President Frank Lorenzo, the object of scorn in posters, catcalls and statements issued by Continental employees, did not attend the meeting be cause he anticipated the negative results. A statement condemning Lorenzo as “a market manipulator without peer” was issued by De nnis Higgins, a TIA pilot and chairman of the TIA master execu tive council. “We have come to this meeting at personal risk to tell you some hard truths about dealing with Frank Lorenzo,” said Higgins. “We enjoy not even the elemen tary job protections that are stan dard in the industry.” Bakes responded that Higgins’ remarks must be interpreted in light of current contract negotia tions under way with the TIA pilots. The Continental Airlines Em ployees Association, with a mem bership of nearly 11,000, has proposed creating a $185 million trust with up to 50 percent of their future pay raises to buy the new stock and prevent TIA from gain ing majority control of Los Angeles-based Continental. “TIA came to this meeting knowing the shares were autho rized and knowing the board had the authority to issue them with out shareholders’ approval,” said Paul Eckel, chairman of the em ployees association. “When they made their takeoever bid, they never dreamed the company would find a buyer for the new shares, let alone a buyer coming to the com pany,” said Eckel. “Now TIA wants somebody, like the Civil Aeronautics Board or the courts, to protect them.” Feldman said the board of dire ctors had created a special com mittee of outside members to eva luate the Employees Stock Own ership Plan and he expected a de cision within the month. He indi cated board support for the em ployees’ plan. “The fact that the employees will perceive themselves as co owners of the company should make Continental a much stron ger competitor,” said Feldman. “Continental’s people, as part owners with a voice in the com pany’s decisions, would be the most highly motivated workforce in the industry.” In the meantime, the CAB is considering TIA’s request to merge with Continental and take over the larger airline. To complicate matters father, TIA has filed suit in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles to block the employees’ stock ownership plan. Continental filed a countersuit to halt TIA’s takeover bid.
