bringing pressure to bear on f. ii. Harri-
man and s~tuyvesant Fish to end the war;,
fare for control of the Illinois Central
railroad.
!, The leading interests in other railways
are said to be decidedly averse to having
fought out in the courts at his time the
question of the legal right of one railroad
company to hold and vote the stock Of
another and are seeking to bring about
peace.
Should the injunction issued by Judge
Hall, restraining the voting of Illinois
Central stock held by the Union Pacific
and other corporations. be sustained by
the higher courts the eastern fnanc:ers
fear the way would be paved for similar
litigation which might result In :he reor-
ganization or d-isorganizntion of the larger
railway systems of the country, Resulting
In great depreciation of railway securities
generally. The greatest obstacle In the
way of an amicable settlement Of the
fight is the personal enmity.
The Fish lawyers here are confident the
injunction will be upheld.
