National Lead Trust Faces NY Court Move to Block Reorganization
In New York City the National Lead Trust seeks an injunction to stop transferring assets to a new New Jersey corporation after a stockholder, Thomas H. Uncles, challenged the planned reorganization. The trust argues the move aims to conform to law, while Uncles contends the action devalues his certificates amid a $30000000 capitalization plan and $8000000 in debenture bonds to be issued. Judge Ingraham urged careful consideration of the injunction amid questions about validity of trust agreements.
