My dear Hr* Crabbs : Several days ago I as talking to Roy Hoff of the J-U Company "and 1m told no that while In your company some tins ago he mentioned the flexible Jacket and the arrangement they have with us and ths fact that ha believed that a LaoVof coopra- ' lion on the part of sons of the manufacturers was penalizing the profits that night he derived from the sale of these Jaokets. I have had this natter up with both Steffens and Mr. Moore from tins to" tine and I want to give you an exact pisturn of our working arrangeaents at the present tine. You were the first nanufaoturer to cooperate with us and sign e License Agreement for the making of the flexible Jacket. * At that tine we did not Incorporated a price control, believ ing that we ooulA work the natter out without such provision. Later the J-M Company signed an Agreenent and In this we incor porated the prie control and have found that it works very satisfactorily, they naturally want the sane coopration fron other nanufaoturer8 who are under a License Agreenent. I realise that you arc waking several typeB of Jackets and that for this reason you arc not as nuh interested In the handling of this iatteT on a prie b^sis as others night be but the fact that we have not been able to reach a satisfactory woAing arrangsaent with you n this part of the Agreenent Is the cause for our not being able to have Several other manufacturers con tent to handle the License Agreement for the present at least. This morning Keasbey A Hattlscn expressed their willingness to wosfc with us on such an Agreement again with the proviso that everybody of importance would do the sane thing. I an there fore writing you and asking whether it would be possible to have you agree to suoh an arrangeant. Mr, Tullooh has kindly consented to handle this matter for the benefit of the Licensees and ourselves and I believe It would be 'i'tHir. i -- n >->*y au: , i * rai Tih.d'b'orairin-c.ic 2? ,Jpas&am<m wM&ik+j^ r u * ' yA .' 9 Hr.
