Lyons Alleges Contract Broken
Two actions filed in common pleas court by EE Lyons against new owners of the Pomeroy and Coalport Telephone Company allege breach of contract. Lyons says he agreed to sell 247 shares at 163215 with delivery of outstanding stock at 45 a share before 1928, while defendants allegedly limited stock at not more than 7.50 per share. He seeks judgment for lost profits on outsold stock bought at 5 and sold at 15 per share. The case has sparked considerable discussion over the company’s postwar stock purchases.
