Injunction Sought to Stop Delaware & Hudson Dividend
A temporary injunction restrains the Delaware and Hudson from paying a 9 percent dividend on stock declared last December. Plaintiffs Hymans & Zoon and John T. Keegan, large holders of debenture bonds, seek relief in federal court and related actions linger in Supreme Court and circuit court. Loree defends the suits as speculative, citing ongoing contractual coal deliveries and potential bond conversions.
