REORGANIZATION OF THE WABASH

A reporter interviewed Mr.. Thomas
e. Tut, Of St. Louis, in Washington, a
few days ago, on the subject of re-or-
e~anization of the Wabash Railroad
Company
Mr.. Tut was asked about the cor
rectness of the report telegraphed from
New York to the effect that the English
bondholder's committee of the Wabash
railway had effected an agreement
with the New York committee provid-
ing a plan of taking the road out OF the
hands of the receivers. He says the
report is correct, and that the English
committee will sail on their return to
| London this week. The details of the
arrangement are not yet in such shape
that they can be given to the public, but
| the substantial character OF the agree
| ment is an arrangement for q Tore
| closure under the mortgage and a sale
of the property so as to bring 1t into
| the hands of a new company. In the
re~-organization there will be an assess
ment on the bonds and stock, but the
amount OF this is not yet definitely set
tied and could not be stated by Mi
Tut, although previous propositions
seem to indicate that it will be in the
n%eighborhood of $40 per share, pre-
ferred and common paying equally.
All stockholders will be permitted te
cnme in under the agreement, so tina
there will be no f%reeze-out OF the small
holders. Those who do not choose tt
paw the assessments will be able to sci
their holdings at the market value tn
reorganization plan will necessaril!
establish. 1t is not expected that tn
arrangements can be carried out inside
of six or eight months, so that the roat
will be under the management OF tn
receivers for that much longer at least
, 1t will be turned owe to the stock
holders Invested of most of the un
profitable branch lines, the mileag
, having already been reduced to $50
, miles. Some Of the branch lines, it j
expected, will be leased again on term
more favorable TO the company as the
are important adjuncts in its bushes
operations which can be made mo-
efficient feeders if under the same mai
agement as the Wabash.
