M Reynolds Urges Quick U. P. Action On Railroad Stocks
M Reynolds calls for rapid Union Pacific moves to absorb Pennsylvania Railroad holdings. He proposes selling Baltimore & Ohio stock at par and preferred stock at 80 dollars a share, with 382,924 Southern Pacific shares transferred to the Pennsylvania and the Penn system delivering its B&O stock to Union Pacific. President Rea declined further comment as analysts see this as a business move to prevent Southern Pacific stock from hitting the market. The B and O stake was acquired long ago above current quotes, signaling Pennsylvanian relinquishment of B&O control. The last Penn RR annual report shows 14.7 million dollars in B&O preferred stock and 57,250 common shares. Including the Pennsylvania Company, Penn interests own about 43 million dollars of B&O stock.
