Crucible Steel seeks stockholders meeting in Chicago hearing
A hearing in Chicago before Illinois Supreme Court Judge Walter V. Schaefer considered Crucible Steel Co.'s motion to permit a special stockholders meeting. The company seeks to raise authorized common stock from five to eight million shares at 12.50 par and to issue 600,000 preferred shares at 100 par. It argues capital investments and offers require shareholder authorization, while a 1966 injunction by dis sident Morris J. Rubin has blocked meetings since 1965, risking irreparable damage to its market position.
