Interlocking Groups Barred By ICC Decision
The Interstate Commerce Commission refused interlocking directorates for the New York Central and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads. Chesapeake Chairman Robert R. Young and President Robert J. Bowman were denied seats on the NYC board without giving up their roles. NYC offered seats after Chesapeake bought 400,000 Central shares, 6 percent, with Chesapeake required to place the stock in a voting trust, preventing direct voting by Chesapeake.
