suit for an Injunction To Restrain
Payment.


NEW YORK. April 2i.-The Chancery
Court OF New Jersey. in Jersey City. has
granted temporary injunction. with an
order to show cause why II should not be
made permanent, against the payment Of
the % per cent scrip dividend on Ameri-
can Tobacco stock common.
EXPLANATION
NEW YORK, April 2i-Messrs. Good
rich. Deadly & Goodrich. counsel for
the preferred stockholders OF the Tobacco
Company N the suit for an Injunction TO
restrain the payment OF the dividend on
Tobacco common stock, says:
The Tobacco Company was formed
with 100000 Of preferred stock, the par
value of which was 500 per share, and
$i5.O000J0 OF common stock. par value $00
per share. Each share of this capital
was entitled 10 one vote, although the
par value OF the preferred was double that
Of the common. We have applied FOR an
injunction TO restrain the payment of the
scrip dividend of 20 per cent. declared
on the common stock, on the ground
that increasing the common stock dis
tuFbs the relations existing between the
two classes Of stockholders, and reduces
the strength OF the preferred stock In It's
voting power by altering its ratio 10
the common stock. We have also asked
for an Injunction 10 restrain the payment
of the ? per cent. cash dividend on the
common stock. on the ground that the
charter OF the company provides that the
preferred stock shall be paid a dividend
Of per cent annually before any divi-
dcrd ls declared on the common. We
hold that under the terms of the charter
there can Doe no dividend on the common
ha strgFgrro1 has received &
per cent. This clause is OF special i'm
portance TO the preferred stockholders at
this time. on account Of the existing
trade conditions"
