STEEL TRUST ENJOlNED.

Must Get Consent of Preferred Stock
holders to Exchange for Bonds,
Says New Jersey Court.
Newark, N. j., June 16.-Vice Chan
cellor Emory to-day gave an oral opin-
ion making a temporary injunction Sc
cured a week ago by Miriam Berger of
Sullivan county, New York, permanent.
The injunction enjoins the United
States Steel Corporation from retiring
$200,000,000 of preferred stock and is
suing $250,00O,O0O in bonds instead. r.
V. Lindabury, counsel for the United
States Steel Corporation, gave notice
of appeal.
In his opinion the vice chancellor
held that the retirement of preferred
stock constituted a preferential reduo-
ton of the corporations capital
among those asserting to the plan ami
a corresponding impairment of the
right of those not asserting. Accord
ing to the vice chancellor's decision
preferred stockholders have vested
property rights, which cannot be i'm
pared by a board of directors without
the consent of the holders of preferred
shares.
