Reorganization of the Man.
agement of the Concern
Effected BY Bankers Who
Financed Deal.
BANKERS DOMINATE
BOARD OF FINANCE
DR.. Rumely Reelected Cen
era1 Manager But Emmett
Scott Chosen Treasurer
.Holton Secretary.

The bankers who financed the NJ.
Rumely company, William Solomon
& Co, and Hallgarten & Co, have
brought about, it is announced, fl
nancial reorganization of the manage
ment. DR.. Edward A. Rume1y, former
ly treasurer and general manager, is
succeeded by Emmett Scott as treas
urer. Mr.. Rumely continues as a vice
president and general manager. In
addition new position, that of vice
president in charge of the company
finances, was voted and J. H. Guy
elected to fill the place. Also a f.
nance committee was named consist
ing of three members, one of whom
represents Hallgarten & Co. and an
other William Solomon & Co. The
third member is DIR. Rumely.
1t is declared that the complete di-
rection of the finances of the company
is now to be by the bankers, who,
through their special representatives
will pass upon all expenditures.
Within the last fortnight the work
ing force in the various factories has
been cut down by 1000 or more men
and 1t is proposed for the time being
to put out products requiring less
credit than heavy machines or trac-
tors.
Nothing About $4,000 900 Notes. g.
No announcement has been made
as to the placing of the S10,000,000
notes voted to retire floating debt, or
rather bills due at the banks. In some
instances the banks have accepted
the new obligation in lieu of the un-
secured paper. The notes come ahead
of both the preferred and common
stock and bear 6 per cent interest.
The preferred stock issue is 100000
900 and the common outstanding S12,-
100000. In order to pay the debts
accumulated, it was necessary to
swell the capitalization by $10,000,000
So far as can be learned an effort
is to pull the company out of it's over
expanded condition. But in doing SO
the common stock dividend at the rate
of per cent will be discontinued. The
notes, just issued, are convertible into
common stock at par. Inasmuch as
the common stock closed Friday at
451a there is no probability of note
holder exchanging his security for the
common stock on the terms mention
ed, since his security is worth more
than the preferred stock.
&C. P. Holton is the new secretary
of the company. Mr.. Holton was for
merly identified with Gaar, Scott &
Co, of Richmond, Indiana, one of the
constituent concerns of the Rumely
comfpany.
