resolution passed 10y the Finance
Committee on December 81, 1915.
The actual words which I used
in Offering the resolution were as
follows:

ers approve OF tho distribution. OF

II the resolution now appears
as quoted viz:
"They, however. as stockhold
ors approve OF the distribution of
..... sum FOR tho purpose Of re-
warding the employees of the com
pany. etc" This must have been
due To misunderstanding of my
meaning by Mr. William DUPONT.

Il was the intent Of Mr. William
DUPONT. To convey the impression
that as stockholders VIC approve
the distribution of any fixed sum
for the purpose OF rcwardng the

The meaning which ] intended
TO convey by the resolution as
offered Il was that as "a stock
