Steel Trust Enjoined in Bond Exchange Dispute
Two rival rulings emerged over United States Steel Corporation plans to swap $200,000,000 in bonds for preferred stock. Judge Lacombe denied the injunction in New York, while Vice Chancellor Emery granted a temporary restraining order in New Jersey. The case, brought by C. H. Venner Company and James Pollitz, involves alleged unconstitutionality of New Jersey’s corporate statute. The court upheld the contract protections despite altered relations among security holders, and practical steps await stockholder circulars, deposits, and bond engraving.
