Trust Enjoined In Steel Corporation Preferred Stock Plan
Vice Chancellor Emery issued a temporary injunction made permanent prohibiting United States Steel from retiring 100000000 of preferred stock and issuing 250000.00 in bonds. Miriam Berger of Sullivan County New York secured the order two weeks earlier. RV Lindaburg for US Steel gave notice of appeal as formal order would be submitted later.
