'Trenton. N. j., Oct. 1l.--,Justice Van
Sickel this afternoon filed in the Court
of Errors his written opinion 10 the
case of Miriam Berger against tne
United States Steel. Corporation that
was decided a short time ago in favor
of the corporation. The opinion Is an
elaborate one covering 90 pages, and
gives exhaustirely the courts reasons
for its decision. -,
In the opinion Justice Van Siokei
saws the general act concerning cor
porations authorizes corIo oratinns TO 70,
tire shares Of preferred stock purchased
with bonds or the proceeds Of bonds J
that the directors may DECLARE bow
many shares are to be retired, and that
the failure to retire that number Will
not defeat the plan. Tho act Of 1902,
which was passed especially for the
benefit of the United States Steel Cor
poration, Justice Van Sickel says does
not enlarge the company's powers as
they were under the general corpora
tion act, but rather restricts them.
The company has power TO soil bonds
OF the market or to sell them to Stock
| holders at tho same value. ~
Taking up the point raised by MIS-.
Berger that J. p. Morgan, d Co., VINO
received $40, 0O0, GOO commission were
being overpaid the opinion says:
individual stockholders cannotques-
tion in judicial proceeding corporate
acts of directors, if the same, are within
the power of the corporation, nre not
unlawful or against good morals, and
are done in good iaita In the exercise
of an honest judgment. The manner
in which a duly authorized plan Is
carried through is part of the business
Of tie corporation and in the absence
of fraud or bad faith is not the subject
of judicial control to any greater ex'
tent than other business of the corpora
tion. The court cannot substitute itl
Judgment for that of the directors and
a ma jority Of the stockholders, and sa,
that a less expensive plan could have
been successfully adopted"
