BOOS AND CHEERS AT STEEL CO. MEETING
CRIES OF "ROT" AND "SACK THE LOT" AND A PROTEST FROM SIR WILLIAM FIRTH, THE FORMER CHAIRMAN, INTER- RUPTED THE EARL OF DUDLEY WHEN HE PRESIDED OVER THE ANNUAL MEETING IN LONDON OF RICHARD THOMAS AND CO., THE £20,000,000 STEEL AND TINPLATE COMBINE.
Sir William was removed from his office in April by the Control Committee, of which Mr. Montagu Norman, Governor of the Bank of England, was chairman, as the outcome of what was then called “irreconcilable difference within the Board."
Uproar began when Lord Dudley said in a time of national emergency it would be inadvisable to enlarge publicly on the nature of the differences.
