Protests by Minority Stockholders of Rail Line
Henry M. Long, broker, forwards a circular letter from minority stockholders of the Pittsburg Allegheny and Manchester Passenger Railway Company. They own about 4,000 of 7,000 shares and oppose Senate bill No. 7 claiming it would allow seizure of the road without fair compensation and bypass stockholders. They accuse majority holders of no notice and allege the bill aims to take the line for a mere majority stake.
