SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw from Listing 
and Registration; (Struthers Industries, Inc., Common Stock, $.10 par 
Value) File No. 1-10942

June 19, 1996.
    Struthers Industries, Inc. (``Company'') has filed an application 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant 
to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and 
Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
security (``Security'') from listing and registration on the American 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, on March 27, 1996, the Company received a 
letter from the Exchange stating that the Exchange was considering 
delisting the securities of Struthers because the

Exchange believed that the Company's had fallen below certain of the 
Exchange's continued listing guidelines. The Company's responded to the 
letter with two detailed submissions to the Exchange dated May 9, 1996 
and May 30, 1996. These submissions addressed the concerns raised by 
the Exchange in the letter as well as the concern raised at meetings 
held between officials of the Company and the Exchange on April 16, 
1996 and May 14, 1996.
    On June 4, 1996, the Company received as a letter from the Exchange 
stating that the Exchange had made a determination to delist the 
Company's Security.
    The Company has informed the Exchange that it is the position of 
the Company that throughout the process initiated by the Exchange on 
March 27, 1996, the Company has fully cooperated with the Exchange 
staff and has provided to the staff extensive submissions which the 
Company believes make clear that the Company has complied with the 
Exchange's continued listing guidelines. The Company and the Exchange, 
however, have been unable to resolve their difference on this issue. 
The Company has informed the Exchange, therefore, that it is the 
Company's position that in view of the impasse between the Exchange and 
the Company, and in view of the large expenditures of money and 
management time that would be required before a final resolution of the 
matters at issue could be obtained, it is in the best interests of both 
the Company and its shareholders that matters be settled by the removal 
of the Company's Security from listing on the Exchange.
    The Company has been informed by the Exchange that it is also the 
position of the Exchange that it would be in the best interests of the 
Exchange and the investing public to settle matters with the Company as 
provided in this application.
    Accordingly, the Exchange and the Company have agreed to settle 
matters between them by the Company making this application to remove 
its Security from listing on the Exchange. In accordance therewith, the 
Company and the Exchange have agreed that, coincident with the approval 
of this application by the Commission, the Exchange will withdraw its 
letter of June 4, 1996.
    For purposes of Section 1011 of the Exchange's Listed Company 
Guide, the Exchange and the Company have agreed that the Exchange staff 
and the Company management have not been able to agree concerning the 
application of certain continued listing guidelines to the Company, and 
that it is unlikely that they will be able to reach agreement on this 
matter.
    Any interested person may, on or before July 11, 1996, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
exchanges and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
