The most important and Significant feature Oh
this list is OF course. the reinstatement OF John

Of criticism which followed Mr.. Gates's an
nouncement in April 1900, OF the sudden clos
ing down of twelve mills OF the Steel and Wire
Company is stin we'll remembered. The hostile
comments were not confined To Wall Street but
were heard in the Board itself. and on May :
Henry SeIigman and Frederick Strauss, OF the
banking house of ]. & W. Seligman & Co, re-
signed as directors. explaining their course in a
letter. which said in part
We have to-day resigned from the directory OF

demanded ny the best interests OF the company
namely MIR Gatess retirement from the manage
ment.
1Ir Gates retired three days later. and sailed
for Europe his place chairman being taken
by Alfred Clifford. He continued To act as
member Of the Executive Committee, however
and now returns to the chairmanship or the
Board. Ex-President John Lambert said yes
terday. in answer to n suggestion thst the elec-
ton of Mr.. Gates might mean that the steel ana
Wire Company majority interests were dissat-
isfed with the terms offered them by ME-
Morgan. and would strive under Mr.. Gates $
leadership 10 obtain more favorable conditions;
"As a matter OF fact. the election OF Mr. Gates
was wholly unsought by him. The directors re-
allied that he was in every way the man best
fitted for the place. and. In recognition OF MS
ability and his great value to the company, they
voluntarily chose him as chairman.
