The London Reorganization Com
mittee at WOrk-Crippled by the
Coal Strike.-SOme Coupons to be
Paid

New York. August 5.-The London
reorganization committee OF the Nor
folk and Western railroad nave issued
a circular to the English security hold
ers in which they say: The question
of the reorganization of the properly
on a safe and permanent basis has
been receiving the earnest attention OF
the company. and the negotiations with
the New York and Amsterdam COM
m.ttees as well as with representatives,
of other large foreign interests, Justify
the belief that q plan Of reorgan;Za-
ton can be submitted for the approval
Of security holders as soon as the az
fairs Of the company are in suttic-
iently settled condition. In this con-
nection. the company wish 10 call your
attention to the fact that they have
been confronted by the unexpected diff
ficUlty OF a serious strike, which has
for the time being, stopped work On
the majority of the coal properties
along the company's lines. Tt is a well
known fact that coal forms an impor-
tant part of the cOmpany's traffic and
the outcome of this strike, involving
as il does. the question of the rates
which the company viii in future re-
ceive for the carrying OF coal, will
therefore have an important bearing
on the earning capacity Of the railroad.
The strike has now lasted since May l.
but a representative from the United
States spoke hopefully Of an early,
though gradual resumption Of the work
by the strikers Until however, this
has actually taken place and there has
been time TO ascertain the probable
effect OF the strike on the company's
coal traffic. 1t would be impossible to
fix with a sufficient degree of certainty
what would be a safe limit Of future
fixed charges which must be the first
consideration of any reorganization
plan. SECURITY holders may rest as
sured that no unnecessary delay Will
take place IN putting a plan of read
justment before them; but, under the
circumstances above described, the
company consider it TO the interest oil
the security holders to postpone the
publication Of a reorganization plan in
order to avoid the danger Of either put
ting fixed charges ON the property be-
4JuV me Iliii-. Vi SAFETY OF OH L4c CtAtl
hand, of imposing undue sacrifices on
holders. Meanwhile. the receivers
have obtained authority from the court
under date of March %. 1895, to pro-
vide for the prompt payment of the
coupons of the general mortgage bonds,
and old divisional lire bonds, the New
River division first mortgage bonds
and the SciOtO Valley first MORTGAGE
bonds
