Battle for Illinois Central control sparks injunction
Chicago October 15 The Illinois Central fight between Stuyvesant Fish and Harriman Harahan intensifies as Fish obtains a temporary injunction blocking 286 731 shares from voting at Wednesdays annual meeting.

Fish accuses Harriman Harahan supporters of a vast conspiracy to manipulate the election while Harriman Harahan deny the claim and insist Fish seeks to avoid defeat.
