UNION IMPOSSIBLE. THEY SAY.
STEEL MEN DIsCREDIT REPORTS OF A CA
NADIAN-AMERICAN AMALGAMATION.

Representatives of a number of steel manufact-
urers with offices in this city yesterday secuted the
Idea of an Observation-Disclosures combina-
ton OF iron and steel interests for the erection of
a large plant at the Lake Erie end of the Welland
Canal. According to yesterdays reports from Lon
uoh negotiations looking 10 such a combination
had practically reached their elimination in that
city The companies reported to have signified
their intention to amagamate the Canadian
Steel Company. the Lake Superior Power Com
pany. the American Sheet Steel Company, the Otis
Steel Company of Cleveland. the Pittsburg Steel
Company, and the Wellma a-Seaver Company, of
Cleveland Combined with these. 1t said
would be several English firms, which would take
a financial interest In the enterprise.
A representative OF one of the companies named
said yesterday that In his opinion such an amaga-
nation Is impossible. He added:
"E. A. c. Pew. president of the Canadian Steel
Company. is the moving spirit of the undertaking.
He is now in London endeavoring to secure Brit
ish capital for his company, which he hopes will
begin operations before the END Of the year. The
Canadian Steel Company was Incorporated in 1900
under the laws of the Dominion of Canada, to
build steel plant at the mouth of the Welland
Canal, with a capacity of 1000 tons a day. Its
authorized capital stock is S00O0O0 preferred and
H4,GO00O0 common. The company will take ad-
vantage of the bounty for four years of 50 ton
on pig iron offered by the Dominion Government
and So ton all steel made from Canadian ores.
With these advantages Mr. Pew should have no
great difficulty in securing British capital for his
company But 1 am almost certa'r that there will
be combination with the Canadian Steel Com
pany reported. The company would be much

talk of the four American steel plants entering into
any such combination. The single element of duty
on imports would almost preclude this, without
