CREDITORS ASK REVIEW.
Garry St. Louis Blast Furnace Com
pany Case to Supreme Court.

Creditors of the st. Louis Blast
Furnace Company. headed by Edmond
w. Nudge. have petitioned to the Su-
preme Court to review the decision of
the eighth circuit court of appeals.
which held that the company's action
in 1911. just before IL went out of
business. in giving these creditors it's
bond in satisfaction of antecedent
debts was invalid under the Missouri
constitution.
1t was urged that in periods of ma
tional financial distress large numbers
of corporations could neither forthwith
meet their obligations nor sell bonds
at a fair price. and to deny them the
alternative of pledging their bonds to
secure an extension of credit was to
force them into bankruptcy. They
urged that the case was important not
only to Missouri. but to many other
states having similar constitutional
provisions or corporation laws.
