Though Guaranty denies such intent, Mr. Young fortnight ago got a New York court to rule that there be no Chesapeake Corp. meeting until the court has passed on Guaranty's right to vote the stock (TIME, April 25). In the interim Robert Young has gone down the backstairs by getting the public holders of C. & O. common stock to rally to the defense of its present officers. Last week...
