The incorporation of the great United

combination of interests designed as
a rival to that corporation. Eenry
O. Friok of Pittsburg is mentioned az
a probable figure in the new movement
There is talk of large plant at Pauls-

Morse and others, and TO he operated
in connection with the New York
Shipbuilding Works in South Camden,
N. j. Shipyards on the Delaware may
combine for future protection. The
shipyards are enormous consumers of
all sorts of manufactured STEEL and
practically the sole consumers of armor
plate. A sudden jump in pr ices on the
part of the United States Steel Cow
psny would place the shipyards at
great disadvantage.
Gossip has already fashioned about
the projected Frick Morse plant the
base by which the shipyards are to
protect themselves Tho diamond State
Steel Company and the Tidewater
Steel Company, il is limited, may be
absorbed by the Frick-Mors syndi-
cate. Heavy stockholders in, these cor
rorations admit that they have recently
been approached with offers to sell.
Who the intending purchasers are can
not be learned. The offers do not, 1t
is stated, come from tho capitalists in
terested in United States Steel. The
supposition is that they come from in.
terests in touch with the Frick- Morse
people. 1t is pointed out in this CON
nection that consolidation of the
Diamond Steel, the Tidewater Steel
and the new plant at Paulsboro would
give the Delaware River shipyards all
the materials they desire, and make
them independent OF the United States
Steel Company. The 1idewater plant
operates a plate mill. Plates are now
selling at S31. 80 a ton in Pittsburg,
and the shipyards are already figuring
that they may go to $40, The Diamond
State Steel Works could turn out
sufficient supply of slabs, ingots and
beams for the local shipbuilding trade,
while a mill to tarn out steel forgings
is to be erected at once at Paulsboro
An armor plate plant In connection
with the Paulsboro enterprise Is said
