Max Pam general counsel of the Amerl-
can Steel and Wire Company, has mace
the following formal statement:
Some doubt seems to exist as 10 the
position of the holders Of the common
stock of the American Steel and WIRE
Company with reference to the DIVIDEND
declared thereon March H. Ihere shoulu
be no misunderstanding on TINS SUBJECT.
The dividend. as will be noted. is payable
to holders of the stock Of record March
%. Whoever is of record on mat udle
Will receive the dividend. Whatever com
mon stocks were deposited carry with
them the dividend OF l IA per cent declaf-
ed March II, which means, of course, that
upon contamination of the United states
Steel Corporation enterprise the dividend
goes to that corporation for the beneht
of its stockholders.
of course the stockholders cannot blow
hot and cold at the same time. They
must either 90 in or stay out. j. 7. Nor
gan K Co. s circular expressly states that
| all dividends declared after March l, go
/ with the stock; therefore no person can
/ exchange his holdings for new stock or
the United States Steel Corporation with
out giving up the dividend which was de-
ClaTed March il, and | am sure there viii
be no deviation from this rule, as all
stockholders in all companies are treated
alike.
1T is very evident they cannot parti-
cjpate in the new company unless they de-
posit their stock. together with rights to
dividend declared March II. Should they
delay until after the dividend is paid,
am quite sure that ii their stock was then
accepted at ali it would only be upon
payment of the dividend that they had
! previously collected. There is no question
about this. OF course, what the future
! policy OF the Wire Company will be as TO
( any further dividends on the common
stock no one could venture to predict.
