street and hotel rumors. One OF theae
rumors was to the eifect that President
Charles NJ ScLwab. Of the C2rheeie
Steel company, would certainly hel
made the head of the new stcei COM
bination. Those best qualified TO t'lb
regarding this matter were, however j
still as silent as ever. II Is Eene,aliy
believed among steel men Interested
that some form of an official statement
outlining the policy of the nes COM
bination will be given out this week.
Perhaps the most authoritative state
ment given out yesterday was tnat
made by Judge ID. G. Reid. a leading
factor in the so-called "Moore steel
companies." organized and promoted
by Judge Moore, formerly of Chicago.
Judge Reid is the president of the
American Tin Plate company, and a
prominent man in the four allied com-
panies-the American Tin Plate, Amer
lean Steel Hoop, the American Sheet
Steel and the National Steel Repre-
sentatives of this group of four COM
panies met I'm Judge Reids Office yes
terday afternoon TO discuss the olef
which Is said to have beer mlde Tor
their stock by the representatives OF
the Morgan syndicate. Those present
at the conference are said 90 represent
the majority holders of stock ln the
four companies at the conclusion OF
the conference judge Reid practically
intimated that these corporations
would probably become part of tht
great Morgan steel combination. lie
is quoted as saying

the meeting. l will say that everything
is running along smoothly, and N'
shall be able TO make complete an.
nouncements in q few days
From this It Is inferred that the sen.
timent of the majority STOCKHOLDERS ~
all four of these companies favora th'
combination. and that the present de-
lay Is merely occasioned by a discus
sion of the details. John w. Gates
who has been a leading factor In th'
Moore" group of steel stocks, Goa
iirmed this general impression by say
ing that everything WIS working
smoothly in the negotiations. Still
u Is worthy of note that an of th
principal parties in ihe negotiations
