PLAN SHAKE-UP OF
ATNA DIRECTORS
Stockholders Want Odell to Head
New Company; Plan Action
March l9.

Drastic changes in the directorate of
the Aetna Explosives Co, Inc. are ex-
pccted to take place ut the annual meet
ing of stockholders 10 be held March 10.
Three stockholders committees are III the
field asking for proxies. but they are all
understood To be in sympathy with the
interests that arc now rcorganizing the
company
If present plans do not miscarry two
representatives from the banking finn of
j. & ". Seligman Il Co. will bc placed on
the board as we'll as one or two men repre-
Scnting stockholders in Scranton and
Wilkcs-Barrc. II is also planned 10 elect
the two receivers George {. Holt and
Benjamin H. Odell, on the board of dl-
rcctors.
The rcorganizers of the company pro-
pose to elect Banjamin B Odell president
of the new company that will be created
as part of the reorganization plan.
In letter to the shareholders asking for
proxies to he used at the annual meeting,
A. G.. Fay and Josiah Howard, large stock
holders, commenting on the present board.
say:
= TAKES RAP AT RoARp.
This board seems to be dominated by
the same interests that dominated IT at
the time he company went INTO the handS
OF the receivers and for many months
Heretofore II is apparent that any suc-
cess that has been attained by the re-
ccivcrship has not been due IN any measure
to the activities Of the present board The
present board therefore, for whom We
assume SAID proxies will be voted, must
stand in lis appeal for reelection not upon
the management Of the company ! affairs,
during the rcccivershp but upon the
record of their management of the com
pany for period of months prior To the
reccivcrship We. therefore, feel that nj
this time a board OF directors that will be
more representative Of the actual owner
ship of the property and will be more
efficient should be elected
The proxies arc asked ~ he voted IN
favor Of g. W Bullard and Howard Bavnc
who have been selected as representing
large interests in the ownership Of the
company
The secretary Of the Aetna Explosives
has also issued an appeal ior proxies to he
