CLAIM SLICE OF THE
MELLOW ORDERED CUT
Preferred Stockholders of the
Union Pacific Try to Pre-
vent Stock Distribution.
LOVETT NOT WORRIED
Knows the Suit Has Been
Started, but Does Not
"Care a Snap

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Action to re-
STRAIN the directors of the Union Pa
cific Railroad company from distribut-
ing its holdings OF Baltimore & Ohio
stock, par value $s2 900 900, TO the
road s common stockholders, was begun
in the supreme court here today by a
group OF preferred stockholders,
headed by James M. McCadden. Sum
mons and complaint in the case were
served on Otto H. Kahn of the Union
Pacific S executive committee.
The plaintiffs submit that as share
holders of preferred stock they are en-
titled to an equal share of the Balti
more Ohio preferred and common
stock to be distributed,
Acquired Last July.
The Union Pacific acquired about
S42, 100000 of its $S2,000,000 holdings
of Baltimore & Ohio stock from the
Pennsylvania railroad last July in eX
change for an equivalent amount of
Southern Pacific stock, which the Union
Pacific had to part with under the SUI
preme court decision forcing the dis
solution of the Union Pacific system.
On January it was announced that
the board of directors Of the Union
Pacific contemplated distributing
among the holders Of Union Pacific
common stock the shares of Baltimore
g. Ohio owned by 1T, including that
traded for the company's holdings in
the Southern Pacific A cash bonus of

Claims of Plaintiffs.
The action brought aims TO restrain
the directors of the Union Pacific from
carrying out thus plan. The plaintiffs
allege that the distribution of the Bal
timore & Ohio stock involves the issue
Of $l2 in par of Baltimore q Ohio pre-
ferred and $22.5O In Baltimore g. Ohio
common and cash for each share of
Union Pacific held by the recipient,
''thus proposing TO issue TO holders of
common stock 80 dividend amount
ing to $3.50, payable IN cash and Bal
tImore & Ohio stock.
The plaintiffs also allege that the
Union Pacific Railroad company IS hold
ings of Southern Pacific common stock
formed part of the capital invested in
the Union Pacific,
Part of Capital.
Since this stock was traded for Bal
timore e. Ohio common and preferred,
plaintiffs say that tho stock taken in
exchange constitutes part Of the capi
tai investment of the Union Pacific
and that as in effect there should be
division of the Baltimore s. Ohio stock,
