EILERS TO CONTINUE
HIS SHELTERS FIGHT
Circular to Stockholders Out
lines Sixteen Charges.

Karl Eilers, who conducted an unsuc-
cessful fight TO oust the Guggenheim
arrangement of the American Smelling
and Refining Company at its annual
meeting a week ago has sent a circular
10 stockholders acknowledging defeat
but indicating his desire 10 keep in touch
with them until the next annual meeting
when. he intimates, another and stronger
effort will be made to change the man
sgement
Mr.. Elers Ia the circular outlines the
steps by which he was overruled at
every turn at the annual meeting and
then presents a list or sixteen charges
which he asks the stockholders 10 In
vestigate. The first. which he says is
much more important than Gll the
others together" Is that "the affairs
of the company are dominated by the
Guggenheims. who are but slightly in
teSested in the company and have large
conflicting interests" II was upon this
same charge that he based his fight at
the last meeting
The opposition which he led against
the present management however. re-
suited In changes. confessions and per-
haps improvements, the circular de-
clares, enumerating the following:
There are seven new men on the
board Their livelihood is not dependent
on the Guggenherns
There are probably four new men on
the board who actually are representa-.
tives OF stock interests. Their imme-
idiate opportunity Of usefulness will be
limited by their constituting such a small
minority and at the same time being
unfamiliar with the affairs OF the com
pany and the technicalities of its busi
ness Both these difficulties will be
rectified next year.
The Board Of Directors is To meet
once a month instead OF once in three
months. as heretofore"
~ ask each stakeholder" the circular
concludes, Ito consider whether ii i not
sef-evident that the control by people
who, comparatively speaking. are not
financially interested therein. but who
are largely interested IN competing and
conflicting ventures, should be stopped.
I ask you TO consider tho different state
ments which have been made and the
fact that the Guggenheims have mani
testify avoided disclosing the facts"
