Purchase of The The ICC on Sept. 28 denied the application of the company, for authority to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock of the Wheeling Railway, such transaction not being "consistent with the public Interest." The report of the Commission states in part: New York, Chicago & St. Louis RR. applied on Aug. 20, 1943, for authority under section 5 (2) of the Interstate Commerce" Act, as preferred stock. The Wheeling par). This amount of Ry. or 60,000 shares of common stock only objection,. to granting the behalf of, holders of the applicant's, - has stock stock outstanding $55,595,558 by a latter, letter from with which Ahg. 19, 1943, document and the agreement between addressee to the the signa¬ effect, among compensation of $49,900, or nearly $1 a share, to be paid by the applicant, and even nearer 2% of the are obligated to pay to the. Taplins, if the applicant falls through. The services for which Otis & Co. would be thus compensated include, negotiations (presumably) between that concern and the Taplin interests, and efforts, expended by Otis & Co. iri discussing the matter with officers of the Nickel Plate, in working out the transaction before/it was fully developed. But the prime reason urged in support of the large sum which would be paid indirectly to this concern by the applicant is risk arising from' the firm commitment of Aug. 19, 1943. It appears evident from the, foregoing that the original commitmentrof Otis & Co. to purchase the Taplin shares was made under the comforting circumstance that an agreement existed {for early to be which Otis & Co. the • of capital stock: ($100 .issued in 1936, in exchange for an equal having somewhat different terras and provisions. was ' it is of three classes^ but the shares of all classes rights. The amount now outstanding' consists of stock, 337,723. shares, $33,772,300; 4% "cumulative prior-lien stock, 116,093 shares, $11,609:300, and 5,/2% cumulative preferred stock, 1Q2,3L39.58 shares, $10,213,958." In 1927, a total of 51% of Wheeling's old stock, or 97% of the \f the stock to the applicant, with an attractive margin of liamely, $1 a share. .Insofar ^as the Taplin interests were the contract of Aug. 9, 1943, was for an outright sale. The Taplins were unwilling,-apparently, to agree to sell their stock subject to any contingency. Therefore^ we are unable to discern risk pn the part of Otis & Co. under the contract of Aug. 19, 1943, any resale Like the old stock, have equal voting common the board it had developed that the willing to'sell only 50,000 shares of common, advised are that stated amount The on on this of deal,with (by purchase) Erie the by things, proposed . made by, acquisition" paid by the Taplin heirs to Otis & Co., if their stock is sojd to the applicant, is several times the amount of normal brokerage* on such a transaction.

We are given to understand, if such payment is made on or before Sept. 25, 1943, the sellers under the contracts of Aug. 19 will relinquish dividends on the stock aggregating $45*000. •;../■ : V-V ' Wheeling & Lake Erie Ry.

The price proposed to be paid stock is $2,650,000 and for the stock owned by the McVeighs $520,000; total, $3,170,000, exclusive of Interest. The applicant states that it is "informed that Otis & Co. will receive certain compensation from the Taplin interests for services rendered in connection with the sale of the aforesaid 50,000 shares, but no commission, fee, or other compensation is to be paid by the applicant in connection with the purchase of any of the shares to be acquired." The compensation to be paid to Otis & Co. is $49,900, which is just short of $1 a share, and $100 less than the additional cost, $50,000, of buying the Taplin stock at 53, instead of at the price of 52 in the case of the stock proposed to be purchased from the McVeighs, Negotiations leading to the proposals herein began with a tele¬ phone message to the applicant's offices by Cyrus Eaton, a stock¬ holder, and. an important figure, in Otis & Co., and since April, 1943, a director of the Chesapeake & Ohio. The Tapllns owned about 61,000 shares of Wheeling & Lake Erie common stock. Eaton advised the applicant that the widow of Frank E. Taplin had informed him, as an investment banker, that. she wished to dispose of her stock. About five or six days later, namely, on July 20, 1943, John W. Davin, the applicant's president, stated to the company's board of directors that approximately 61,000 Wheeling & Lake Erie common shares recently had been offered for sale, and he understood that they could be purchased at a price somewhere between 52 xk and 55/After general discussion, the 12 directors present at the meeting adopted unanimously a resolution authorizing the proper officers of the com¬ pany to negotiate for, and purchase, approximately 61,000 shares of the stock at a price not in excess of $55 a share. Under date of Aug. 9, 1943, Otis & Co. and the Taplin heirs had entered into a letter contract confirming the agreement of the latter to sell, and the agreement of the former to purchase, 50,000 shares of Wheeling.& Lake Erie common stock at $52 a share; and on the same date Otis & Co. addressed a letter to the applicant stating that; "This letter will evidence our agreement to sell to you 60,000 shares $52 365,778 shares 43,000 in stock, Ohio, Ry.-^-Earnings- $599,266 *•' current S. close National 3,640,029 Period End.

It will be recalled that in July, 1942, the U. S. Government "condemned" and took over the properties on a plea of authority under what was known as the "Lanham" Act. These prop¬ erties included three hydro-electric plants, one steam plant, trans¬ mission lines and an electric railway. Late in 1942 the Circuit Court of Boston, on appeal by the company, declared that the seizure was illegal. Immediately afterward, the U. S. Government, in place of entering an appeal over this court, took action under - special war legislation and continued to hold the properties.
