In its action taken yesterday the Lchish
Valley follows the policy adopted by the
Delaware. Ldckawanna & Western moro
than two years ago. when il organized N"
Delaware, Lackswanna and Western Coal
Company, declaring at the same time 10
ycr cent stock dividend and a special cash
dividend Of 80 per cent Of which onc-hah
enualIing the amount Of the new coal com
pany's capital stock, was to be applied h'
its stockholders 10 subscribing for the new
shares OF the coal company.
The organization OF the Lackawanna's
coal company followed the decision Of the
Supreme Court affirming the constitutional
ity of the commodity clause The Su-
rreme Court remanded the cases TO the
lower courts for further proceedings, and
the government sought to amend its orig
final retition so as to allege that the coal
companies we're mere devices Of the rail-
roads TO evade the law, and that the rail-
roads had a legal or equitable interest in
the coal. a test case being made OF the
suit against the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company
The lower court refused TO permit the
retition 10 be amended and the government
eppealed 10 the Supreme Court. which last
April ruled that the lower court had erTeu
IN refusing permission 10 amend. FROM
that time on rumors have been frequent that
the Lehigh Valley would divorce its coal
company from its railroad company, al
though at the outset its management dis
claimed such intention, President Thomas
saying last May:
81 know nothing Of any plan to change
our present relationship to the coal com
pany. I am president Of both the railroad
and the Lehigh Valley Coal Company
otherwise all the officers are different. The
coal company has been distinct organ
ization' IN business for many years. As an
organization it is absolutely separate from
the railroad company"
