ROGERS IS STUBBORN.
Maker Seems Determine
That Works Shall Die.

New York, Dec 17-Bernard and
Philip katz and several members Of the
citizens committee appointed to keep
the Rogers Locomotive Works at Pater-
son, n. J., have been in conference with
Jacob s Rogers for several days. They
wanted Mr. Rogers to give written
option of 80 days on the works to the
Katz brothers on the terms already
agreed on, namely, that the katz
brothers organize a company, with $780,
600, and take 5000 000 of the stock, MT
Rogers to retain 100000, the remainder
to be raised by the committee by pop
ular subscription, Mr.. Rogers to sell
the whole concern, real estate and plant,
to the new company, and take in pay
ment per cent bonds, secured by
mortgage, the price to be ascertained by
an appFaisement. Mr.. Rogers refused to
give the option unless the Katz brothers
would bind themselves to buy the works
at the end of thirty days This they
would not do
The men who asked for the option
argued that the transaction was big
one, and they needed something more
substantial than mere verbal promises
on which to solicit subscriptions Mr..
Rogers replied that his word was good
enough, and he certainly would give
nothing more unless he got something in
return more substantial than mere spec
ulatiOns as to the purchase of the works
Finally he agreed to give a verbal OPP
tion for ten days for the purchase of the
works on the terms agreed to, but he re-
served the right to cancel that option on
As hours notice.
The citizens committee believes it will
be able to meet the conditions in raising
the 5000, COO The members viii start out
at once. They viii offer preferred stock,
paying per cent dividends, and it is
believed that this will induce New York
capitalists to put their money into the
project.
The Katz brothers have stipulated
that they shall have control of the new
company, and in order to do with
only two-fifths of the capital. bonus
of $50 in common stock Will be given
for every full paid share of preferred
stock at par. Mr.. Rogers says the $780,
600 for which he will become responsible
need not have any voice in the manage
ment.
The Erie Railroad company. which has
for several years had its engines made
elsewhere, has promised to give the new
company the first order for twenty-five
engines. The railroad company wants
to keep the locomotive works at Pater-
son as it is a big patron of the road.
The Illinois Central has always been a
patron Of the Rogers works. 1t is about
to order fifty engines, but withheld the
order to see if the Rogers works would
reopen. After the conference a tele-
gram was sent to the Illinois Central,
saying it would be definitely settled in
ten days whether the works would re-
open. It is estimated that the Rogers
establishment has lost orders for 100
