ENCOURAGING
Westinghouse Plan Seems Assured
OF Success Time E.rtended.

me readJustment committee of the Westinghouse
i'ecuic ana Manufacturing Company has issued
circular giving the results of Its recent confer
ehce with the merchandise creditors stockholders,
securities investment creditors and eunIoves'
committees, which shows that the total subscrip-
tons to the s1ooo0.ooo new asserting stock have
reached ss,Ho,$2. This amount was subscribed as
foIows; BY the merchandise creditors s4135 s12:
py the companys employees, $685. $50; by stockhold-
ers. s2,N4.3oo: by the Security Investment Com
lany, SlS2oon. and by George Westinghouse, ST.
eoo.V"o. of the total amount the subscriptions pay
able In cash, as distinguished from those payable
from the surrender of claims aggregate S. 64 $50.
On the strength of this good showing by the va
rious committees the readjustment committee has
announced its Willingness to cooperate with them
In carrying out the merchandise creditors
ganization plan and has extended the time of get
ting assents to the plan until September /. pro-
vded that the full conditions of the creditors be
met.
In its circular the committee requests the bank
creditors to agree to accept in exchange for their
claims one-hah of the par value thereof in con-
vertible sinking fund bonds of the company at par
For the other half they asked to to one OF
two propositions Either to accept per cent notes
of the company in three equal amounts, maturing
respectively in four, five and six from their
date the extent of 30 per cent of the value
of their claims and for the balance asserting stock
of the company at par: or, per cent notes of the

able for the creditors to be satisfied with the re-
duction of the existing debt proposed under the
merchandise creditors plan and with an increase
of 100000 in cash working capital. 1t adds that
unless all the terms and conditions OF the plan as
set forth compiled with by September 1, the
committee must proceed with readjustment or
reorganization of the company which il necessary,
will include judicial sale of the entire assets and
property.
The report of the committee was looked upon IN
Wall Street evidence that practically every OBJ
stacle the success Of the reorganization plan
had been removed and it was the general behe1
that the receivership would end September
and the company be restored to the STOCKHOLDERS
