No Longer Possible to Reor-
ganize Corporations to
Escape Obligations.
DISSENTING JUDGES SAY
DECISION Is "ALARMING"
Many Railroad Organizations of Re
cent Years Declared to Be At
fected by the Ruling.

Reorganization of corporations by
stockholders and bondholders in order to
escape the obligation to creditors was
made impossible today by the Supreme
Court of the United States laying down
the general principle that creditors not
parties to the reorganization could hold
the property of the reorganized corpora
ton for the debt.
The court went so far as to declare void
as to one creditor, John II. Boyd. the
reorganization transfer of tire property
of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany to the. Northern Pacific Railway
Company more than ten years ago. In
this particular case. however. the court
expressly stated that no moral wrong
doing was to be found in the reorganiza-
ton.
Court Divided, Five to Four.
Justice Lamar announced the decision
of the court in this case. that of only
five justices. Justice Lurton rendered
the dissenting opinion of four members
of the court stating that the opinion
of the majority upon 'reorga nization of
railroads of the period in question was
alarming"
Corporation lawyers who listened to
the opinion declared that the practice had
not been uncommon of corporations being
reorganized to, get rid of .onerous con-
tracts and to escape the payment of debts
to unsecured creditors. such. as those
who had supplied material and perform
ed labor for the old corporation. The de-
cision. ii is said, will affect f1r some de-
gree many railroad reorganizations.
Boyd originally had a judgment for
S135 600 against the Occur d'Alene Rail
way and Navigation Company and
brought suit against the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company after it bought
the Occur d lAlene Company. He sought
to have his Judgment against the railroad
company declared lien upon the prop
erty of its SUCCESSORS. the Northern Pa
cific Railway Company.
