To the Editor Of The WHITE PIEE NEWS:
We have just received the issue oi
the NEWS under date OF September IL,
10 which you publish thd resolution.
passed unanimously by the board ol
directors OF the Chairman Mining and
Electric Compahu at their last meeting
held in Warren, Pa, together with the
editorial remarks upon them. AS you
ask the writer, or some other gentle
men who voted for the resolution to
give their conception Of the meaning
OF difference" as conveyed by the
word, he will try and do SO in rs brief
q manner as possible.
The writer has no desire to criticize
the comments OF the editor ON the res
olutions, and entertains only the kind :
lies OF feelings toward him and his
paper, and reads 1t with pleasure and
profit, aud misses it when 1t fails to
arrive on time. He willingly admits
that from the Information upon which
the editor based the article to which
the resolutions referred, that he really
thought there was serious trouble be-
tween tue management, OF which the
directors knew nothing, and 1t was out
Of the kindliest OF motives that their
attention was called to 1t, in the article
to which the resolutions referred.
In explanation OF the resolutions.
and why the directory thought, and
still think, that properly understood
wherein the entire management lies,
there could by no possibility, be any
disagreement between the management
and anyone under him that would in
any way way affect the interests OF the
stock holders, 1t was in anticipation
that some differences would be likely
to arise, II the management we're left,
as originally provided for, In dual
hands. Hence, fearing that this con-
dition OF dual management would be
much more likely to lead to trouble,
they provided in the resolutions max
ing Mr.. Dawson manager, that he
should be In entire control of the prop
erty, and he aloue wonld be RESPONSE
BILE to the directors, for its manage
ment and success, and from the time
he returned to Ely, In June last, this
has been his position with this COM
pany. While | have not seen the
copies OF the letters of instructions
sent TO both the former superintendent
and metallurgist, still the chairman of
our executive board ad vises me that
this was plainly stated to them both,
and that thereafter they would be ex-
pected to take all their orders from
the manager.
With this understanding OF the mat
ter the directors all agreed there could
be- no trouble arising with the manage
ment, rs Mr.. Dawson was amenable
only to the board Of directors, and they
we're very sure there had been no
trouble as between them and their
manager. 1t was this thought only
that they wished to embody in the
resolution, hoping thereby to allay the
anxiety that the article had aroused
among the stock holders, as evidenced
by the many letters and inquiries the
directors had received, after the arti-
Gle had been published, thus giving
another evidence OF the value that the
stock no ders, in common With all its
readers, place upon the opinion OF the
editor OF the WHITE PINE NEWS.
Fully believing that our manager
will willingly and cheerfully, at all
times give to the editor OF the WHITE
PINE NEWS all of the facts bearing
upon the progress and success OF the
property that will be of interest, not
only to the stock holders, but also to
all of your readers in your own State,
| have the honor to remain.
Yours very truly,
r. P. OTIS.
