Other carriers like Ontario and Western and Pennsylvania remain to report amid labor tensions. In finance, American Ice Company directors approve a $65 million annual first mortgage bond issue to refinance existing debt, with $3 million for immediate bond maturities. Convergences include Consolidated Fin Company’s 3 cent dividend, Marconi settlement effects, United States Rubber doubling capital to $120 million with expansion plans, and Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway receiving court approval to issue $1 million receiver’s certificates to fund extensions from Granada to Fort Stockton, with potential further $1 million issuance.
