FINANCIAL
United States Leather Company.
To the Preferred stockhol ders {:


The undersigned have. as a committee. pre-
pared plan for co operation between holders
of the Preferred stock OF the United States Leather
Company. This has been done upon the request
OF important, holders. and the committee has to
day issued circular stating the principal features
OF the plan. and accompanied by circular OF ap-
prevail hy many OF the largest stockholders. The
necessity for the plan Is due primarily TO three
circumstances iJ The accrual OF about thirty
seven per cent OF unpaid dividends upon the pre-
ferrrd stock. q, The accumulation by the Leather
Company OF a surplus equal to more than thirty
per cent upon It's preferred stock uhe available
portion of such surplus being largely represented
by mrs. mortgage bonds OF the Central Penn i
sykanla Lumber Company and the obvious pro.
priey that the preferred stock should promptly
receive some par, OF this: and q, the prohibition
contained In the charter OF the Company against
the issuance OF bonds or debentures or the making
OF mortgage. either BY the Company itself or
by sny company of which II holds majority Of
the stocE.
The plan is embodied In an agreement between
the Asserting Preferred Stockholders, the Morton
Trust Company and this Committee. under which
shares OF preferred stock are to be assigned TO
the Trus, Company. subject 10 the provisions OF
the agreement which has been prepared under
the direction OF Messrs Edward NJ. Shepard. Of
New York: John Il. Johnson. OF Philadelphia. and
r. V. Llndabury OF Newark. n. J. The agree
men, provides for the giving OF the 90 per cent.
power to accept for the Asserting Preferred
Stockholders the payment OF portions OF their
dividends In securities now In the treasury OF the
Leather Company. Without such a provision
a long time permit dividend on account OF the
arrcaragc. The plan is believed to he In the In
icrcst not only OF the preferrct ckholders and
the Company Itself, but OF the common stock
holders
The advantage to the preferred stockholders
OF a prump. adoption OF the plan Is believed 10 be
obvious,

Of the recommendations circular OF the important
stockholders who have already been reached
