Young Battling For NYC Control
Robert R. Young announced ads favor him three to one as he arrived from Florida to launch a proxy battle for control of the New York Central. He urged a $7 to $10 annual dividend for New York Central stock and said Pere Marquette and Nickel Plate, previously controlled by him, pay strong dividends. He planned a newspaper campaign asking stockholders to nominate anti Morgan, pro Central directors and claimed 90 percent support. He predicted 90 to 95 percent stock representation at the May 26 meeting and criticized President William White as overextended, calling for new leadership to take action.
