company in the latter part of 1919 at $50
share for the purpose of permitting
faithful employees of the company to pur-
chase it. Alfred !. du Pont, vice president
of the company, insisted that the price
should be S125. After long negotiations
the matter was dropped, T. G. du Pont
finally Will !rawing the offer.
SECURITIES COMPANY FORMED.
In February, 1915. the du Pont secur-
ities Company was formed by the men
mentioned as defendants, WHO purchased
T. Coleman du Pont common stock as the
du Pont Security Company, at price OF
$liO0o,000. To raise the money. Morgan \
Co. was Interested. \ loan of S.5O1NN
was secured and the remainder negotiated
on notes. This gave Pierre du Pont and
the defendants entire control of the pow
der company, as 4. Coleman du Pont hold
ings amounted to q per cent of the stock,
which. added to the individual holdings of
the men brought their interest up to
between 35 and 10 per cent. This is the
largest single voting block, the interests
of Alfred J. du Pont being second. Philip
f. du Pont alleges that the formation of
this company was legal as the men
alone were In position to know that the
stock would soar when the public learned
that huge munition orders were being
booked. He prays the court to return
the stock to the treasury Of the company
or permit the stockholders to determine
whether 1t shall be placed on the market
or for thee directors to reconsider the
original alleged offer of T. Coleman
du Pont.
The answer says that the powder COM
pany rejected the offer of r Coleman
du Pont to sell the stock to the company,
that this action was ratified by the beard
of directors that the action Of the finance
