Amelon Cut by Standard Oil of Indiana in Proxy Fight
Chicago Feb 6 The psychological effect of a 443000000 dividend vote by Standard Oil of Indiana directors may shape the proxy battle between Son Robert W Stewart and the Rockefeller interests for control of the oil giant. Announcement of a 6 million stock dividend and a cash dividend plus a regular 62 1/2 cent per share dividend stirs proxies ahead of the March 7 annual meeting in Whiting Indiana. Stewart labels the move a strategic melon aimed at swaying stockholders though proxies created by the stock split cannot be voted. The dispute pits Stewart and his Western backing against John D Rockefeller Jr and Eastern stockholders. John D Sr has appeared in support of his son while employee stockholders and current directors back Stewart. The two men contrast in origin and style, fueling a dramatic fight over the world’s oil power.
