Southern Railway Cuts Dividend and Defers Payouts
The Southern Railway directors reduce the preferred stock dividend from 2 1/2 to 2 percent for the year ending June 30, citing abnormal costs and uncertain conditions. They appropriate surplus to cover the year’s dividends, signaling prudence amid high prices and legislative revenue cuts. The company also declines Governor Glenn’s proposal to end hearings in the North Carolina passenger reduction case, pledging to pursue the matter before the U S Supreme Court.
