Haynes Removed for Criticising Superiors at Equitable
Archibald C. Haynes was dismissed as general agent in New York by President Morton of the Equitable Life. The action follows Haynes public criticisms of Second Vice President Tarbell and a push to reduce advances to agents. Haynes, reputed to earn over 60,000 annually in commissions, faced a large outstanding obligation to the society and a Frick committee review noted large loaned advances against renewals. The removal signals a shift in management and a move to curtail agent power while subagents remain under society direct contracts.
