Call by Hyde radicals at Equitable Life meeting
A May 5 New York report says a directors conference for the Equitable Life Assurance Society has been called for next Monday afternoon. The unsigned call originated in the Frick committee and Hyde radicals on the board aim to press a resolution for President Alexander and Gage EB Tarbell to resign. Hyde supporters may sacrifice him if opponents retire, but he will not leave while they control the management. At least one director will push to suspend all three and place affairs under a steering committee of directors. A further probe involves Hyde and three directors profiting $160.60 each from Pittsburg terminal securities sold to Equitable Life and its Mercantile Trust subsidiary.
