Young Wins Round In Railroad Fight
New York Supreme Court denied the York Central Railroad plea for an injunction but kept a temporary stay on proxy issuances. Proxies remain in effect until May 18 while the case moves toward trial as Young seeks control of the railroad giant amid a proxy fight involving Richardson and Murchison who bought stock from Chesapeake & Ohio. The decision blocks immediate action but leaves a larger showdown on May 26 at the stockholders meeting.
