Supreme court considers stock distribution plan for Union Pacific
Washington DC December 14 The Supreme Court today heard a combined motion from the government and Union Pacific railroad lawyers for more specific decrees in the distribution of 226.95 million dollars of Southern Pacific stock owned by Union Pacific. The government opposes exclusive stock purchase by Union Pacific holders and a decision may come Monday. Railroad counsel argued that distributing stock pro rata to union holders or as a dividend would prevent irreparable injury and market disruption. In a separate Indianapolis trial, jurors heard more testimony in the dynamite conspiracy case with district attorney Noel describing alleged bomb plotters and a broker’s double dealings as the defendants seek leniency.
