New York financiers aligned with Kuhn, Loeb & Co. propose a bankruptcy-free reorganization of the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul system. The plan cuts annual interest charges from 21.8 million to 12.5 million, reduces debt, converts short term bonds to long term, liquidates a five million government debt, and sets per share assessments of 28 for preferred and 32 for common stock. Opponents led by Geo E Roosevelt call the plan drastic and oppose government debt liquidation.
