 REFUSES REVIEW
UpholdS Lower Court in Rail-
 road Reorganization

Washington, Nov 2S LPl-The su- preme court refused today 10 re- view the reorganization of the Chi cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail- road which was approved by the lower courts.
 Edwin C. Jameson. and others, constituting the bond holders de- fense committee. claiming to repre- sent about s1S,000,000 of the bonds of the railroad, portested 10 the lower courts that the plan failed properly 10 preserve the rights of the bondholders. They contended that the decision Of the lower courts had not been based on the facts existing at the time the plan wa. approved by the federal dis trict court on January 19, 1927.
 The receivers of the railroad urged the court to refuse to review the case, asserting that every days delay costs the property s2,000 in interest alone, declaring that the reorganization should take effect at once. and insisting that as long as the receivership continued the se- curity holders would be deprived of any return on their investment. They stated that SC per cent of af- fected bondholders had approved th. plan and less than per cent objected.
 The Guaranty Trust company Of New York and others against whom The suit was brought contended that the fact that the St. Paul railroad in point of mileage and securities affected was the largest railroad to so through receivership and reor- ganizaton, was not, as the bond holders defense committee had as- serted. sufficient reason of itself for reviewing the case.
