MAY SUE UNION PACIFIC
Equitable Life May Act to Re.
strain B. e. 0. Distribution.

While no complaint has yet been filed, Il
was learned yesterday that the Equitable
Life Assurance Society. as n preferred
stock holder OF the Union Pacific Rail
road. is considering plans TO bring suit to
restrain the company from distributing its
100000 Baltimore & Ohio stock and an
extra cash dividend OF SO share 10 the
common stock holders on April I.
The Equitable is the holder OF s. SIS. 300
Union Pacific stock. and representatives
Of the latter said yesterday that they
would welcome any action from such a
large shareholder. The suit, It was said,
would have no connection with that pre-
viously filed by several Union Pacific
stockholders

REVIEW OF THE
STOCK MARKET
Price Changes in Fractions
-Specialties Only Show
Activity.

Fluctuations Of any size in the stock
market yesterday were confined TO the
industrial list, and. with the exception
Of some Of the specialties in this group,
stocks were practically at a standstilL
Between the high and low prices OF
half a dozen or more OF the most i'm
portan. securities there was diff
ference Of less than half point In
steel, notably. the price range was only
q quarter Of a point. But because OF
the unwonted activity Of such issues as
American Ice securities. General Motors
and Virginia Carolina Chemical, the
total Of the days transactions was not
as small as might have been expected.
AS IT was, transactions aggregated only
a little over 10000 shares.
Both the preferred and the common
stocks Of the Rock Island Company
sold off 10 new low records. the former
going 20 qls and the latter 10 Dos. AT
the same time the collateral trust bonds
Of the intermediate holding company
developed new strength. rising about
o. points 20 AIS. and closing frac-
fion lower. This was logical refiec-
ton Of the approach Of a reorganiza-
ton plan which has been preparing for
the last few weeks and which. II is
said on excellent authority, is likely 10
be ready for publication early next
week
The chief news Of the day was con-
tanned in report that the Equita bic
Life Assurance Society had decided TO
bring suit against the Union Pacific
directors 10 restrain them from dis
tributing 20 the common stock holders
SIS treasury holdings Of BALTIMORE &
Ohio shares. AS the holder Of large
block Of Union Pacific preferred shares
the EQUITABLE Life presents a signif-
cant and powerful opposition TO dis
tribution whose legality has often been
questioned by eminent lawyers. The
contemplated action. II is said, will be
based upon the familiar grounds that
the railway company has no right 70
discriminate against the holders Of It's
preferred shares in q distribution Of
what. Il is asserted, are essentially
capital assets.
Besides the report of a new Union
Pacific suit there was an announce
ment that the Wabash reorganizers
had agreed upon q plan which will
have 10 be submitted to railway COM
missions in a number Of states before
they can hope to see II effective.
Among other details the plan contem-
Tlates an assessment Of $50 a share on
the common and preferred stocks.
Southern Railways statement that II
had sold $40. 900 600 Of per cent three
year notes to bankers was received in
the financial district with much in
terest. 1t is the purpose Of the COM
pany to cxpend large part of the pro-
Ceeds in charging its yards and ter
minals for the purpose Of securing more
economical operation, a reminder that
many other roads are in little better
position than the Southern to handle
with expedition the large traffic offered
20 them IN normal times of prosperity.
Money rates were unchanged and the
market was quiet, with little demand.
Foreign exchange was steady and ster-
ling rates were slightly higher

for weeks with hardly a gift. This

ON Sunday afternoon we had the
pleasure of calling upon one Of Be

now advanced in years, living in
two rooms and renting the rest OF
her house that she may have money
away. She knows about
Bcrea and the mountains better than
some people who live in Berea, and
is as much interested as though her
own children were at school with
us. Almost alone in the world, she
is not lonely. and her beautiful face
shows that she has found the peace
