Fish loses control of Illinois Central
New York July 28 Edward H Harriman has suffered a defeat in his bid to take control of the Illinois Central from Stuyvesant Fish, its president. Directors except one sided with Fish proxies cured by Harriman will be turned over to Fish, and three retiring directors friendly to Fish will be re-elected at the October annual meeting. A vacancy to fill W Morton Grinnell will go to a Fish ally, keeping Fish in control of the Illinois Central for another year.
