Damage Claimants Band Together Against Mortgage Holders
A creditors committee led by Benjamin S. Catchings, Charles Benner, and Thomas C.

They contest the New York City Railway lease as illegal and seek equal preference for injury claims alongside contract claims, arguing hundreds of victims and property losses should be paid before bondholders.
