BOX 266 POLICYHOLDERS URGED TO OUST OLD OFFICERS Committee Issues Address Calling For Organi zation to Defeat Present Management of Mutual Life and New York Life. By Private Lea»ed Wire. ,\>w York, July 10.—For the purpose of ousting the present managements of the Mutual Lite and the New York Life Insurance companies, the Interna tional policyholders' committee met here yesterday, elected officers and Is sued an address to the 1,200,000 holders of policies, outlining the Issues In the fight. The committee adjourned subject to the call of the chairman, after ten days' notice. In the meantime the ex ecutive committee will take charge of the details of the Immediate work and will hold frequent meetings In New York, Philadelphia and elsewhere. Voting Begins October 18. The committee Has until September IS to nie Its nominations of directors, who are to be voted for by the policy holders. According to law, the admin istrations of the two companies are re quired to file their nominations before July 18. The voting Is to begin Octo ber 18, and continue until December 18, In part, the address to the policy holders of the Mutual and New York Life Is as follows: 'These two Insurance companies are mutunl companies; that Is to say, they are owned by their own policyholders. The enormous accumulated assets of over 1900,000,000 represent the premi ums which you as policyholders have paid. "The law'requires that the policy holders of a mutual company shall elect from among themselves directors who shall be responsible to all policyholders for the intelligent and faithful man agement of the company's affairs. As the law formerly stood. It was practl- rally Impossible for the policyholders scattered throughout the world to vote. In 1905, even after the agitation be gan, there were 2,528 votes cast, mainly proxies. In the two companies put of a total of over 1,200,000 policy holders, or less than 1-5 of 1 per cent. Voting Power -Transferred. "It gradually became a recognized $500.00. The above reward will be paid lor such evidence as will lead to arrest and conviction of the party or parties who maliciously cut a number of wires on cable pole at corner of Peachtree and Seventh •treets, during Wednesday night, April 19, or Thursday morning, April 20. A like reward will be paid for *ucb evidence as will lead to the arrest and conviction of any per- •on or persons maliciously inter fering with or destroying the Property of this company, at any Point.

IX OOOODODODOODDOOODOOOOOCkJOO custom among the officers to secure through agents proxies made out to the president or some other officer of the company upon the delivery of the poli cy. In this way the voting power was gradually transferred from the policy holders to a few of the executive of ficers centered In New York. Thus It came about that the con-. „jl of these two companies was ui ually taken out of the hands r.f policyholders, and rnine under the ab solute domination of a few executive officers. Out of this system have grown the extravagances .and other abuses, some of the particulars of which were brought out under legal pressure by the Armstrong Investigat ing committee. The self-appointed di rectors are still In control, and will re main In control, directly or through their own nomlneee, unless you, as pol icyholders, decide otherwise by the ex ercise of your right of s.mple ballot voting, which has been rentored by re cently enacted laws. "At tbs last session of the legislature of the state of New York, the state -which Issued tho chatters of these two companies, there was enacted a law which gives to policyholders their ac tual voting rights. The law strikes al the very root of the evil. It cancels all previously Issued proxies, and pro vides that any proxy given in advance of October 18, 18M. shall be void. It fixes the dats for tbs election of of ficers. It gives to the policyholders the privilege of nominating their own can didates, and the right to vote by ballot as In ordinary elections, and to record that vote by mall. We emphasize the fact that now Is the only opportunity for obtaining control of your properties at an election si hereafter, under the law, only one-half the directors can be chosen In any one year. How to Get Benefit ■To receive the benefit of such a law, It la neceieary that the 1,200,000 or more policyholders should organize Into euch working force as to secure harmony of action In the selection of candidates for directors. Associations of policyholders have been formed In various parts of the United States and in foreign countries, each Independent of the other*. The* associations have united In sir appeal to your committee to set with the entire body of policy holders In the selection of candidates for director*, thlrty-elx of the Mutual Life and twenty-four of the New York Life. "Neither the committee nor Its gen eral counsel will accept any compen sation for their senrloe*. Our nominees will be representative of every section as far as possible, but under the law. one-half of each board mu.t be reel- dents of the stst# of New York. "When from the names which we now Invite you '» *ubmlt to us for consideration we- have nominated candidates for dlrectora, the elec tion of these candidate* will be entirely In your hand*. The directors now In power have nomi nated or will nominate for each com pany what la to be known as the ad ministrative “#‘352 which they now controlthroughthelr nosseseton of your property to defeat your candidate* and elect themselves or other nominee*. "Disregard Influences, ■-U your representatives In this cam- Photograph of Mrs. William Ellis Corey, who. It Is said. Is now wltb Mr. Coroy and- their son, Allen, and Mr. Corey'a uls ter. Miss Ada Corey. It la sold that they nre to be reunited nnd that It la through Allen Corey, who le the pride of bis father palgn, we advise you to disregard the Influence which will be brought to bear upon you by the local paid agents, and to exercise In this, as In any other election, your own Independent and In dividual Judgment In the choice of the men who shall from this time forward act as the trustees for your Insurance savings. "If you as a policyholder will Intel ligently exercise tills personal cholco and do what you can to eo Instruct your immediate friends who aro poli cyholders as that they shall not be misled by tho efforts of paid agents, the object of this campaign In your Interest Is assured. "It Is not the purpose of this move ment to disturb the actual working organizations of these two companies except es far as It may be necessary to correct the abuses which are the direct result of mismanagement at the execu tive centers. Up to New Management. 'Certain eult* have been begun to recover moneys claimed to have been misappropriated, wasted or lost, and It Is charged that other suits should be commenced. The further Investiga tion, tho prosecution of such eult* os have been begun and the commence ment of further eults, if any,- for res titution, will devolve upon the new management. Those matters will con stitute no part of tho duty of this com- mlttee. "The expense of this campaign must be borne by the policyholders. It costs over 160,000 to place a circular In tho hands of all policyholder*. "A.committee of finance will have charge of all receipts and expenditures, •ind will see that all contributions re ceived from policyholder* are ekpended In their interest. At the completion of the campaign a detailed expense report will be rendered. Contributions Needed. "Under these conditions and In the full belief that this movement I* one of the most important that has ever been instituted In thl* country, your committee feels free to urge you as a policyholder to forward to the secreta ry such voluntary contribution (from 21 upward) ae you may consider it your privilege to make. "Should tho policyholders give ex pression to such a desire, thl* commlt- :ee will endeavor to form a permanent policyholders' organization, which shall have the following among Its ob- **"(•) To maintain a vigilant super vision of the conduct of the business of the companies and to make an Inde pendent audit of their boqks through chartered accountants employed by the association.
