Judicial Order Halts Northern Pacific Stock Retirements
Judge Elliott issued a temporary restraining order to stop retiring the Northern Pacific Railway Company’s preferred stock. Peter Power of New York, holder of 100 common shares, filed the action alleging the retirements violate an agreement and would encumber common stock. The order also blocks debt issuance and cross‑company arrangements aimed at uniting with or aiding the Northern Securities, Great Northern, or Burlington systems.
