 ------~----------- rious consideration of the legislative branch.
 II, however, the policy which splits UT combined power and wealth into its com ponent parts Is to continue, the period all lowed for carrying out so fundamental a change should be considerable and the change should be effected through the prudent cooperation of the government rather than at the point of court decrees, with the overshadowing threats of receiv- efships for solvent concerns.
 If the economic policy of developing the individual and discouraging the combina- ton of individuals is to prevail. 1t would seem to follow that national incorpora- ton should be discouraged
 It is no doubt true that if the growth of large combination as the most potent factors in national progress. were to be foStered, certain advantages woul< be ob- fained by bringing concerns whose actiyi- ties transcend state bounds under such harmonious regulations as would be pos- stle only under a national law But even in Nat case 1t would be difficult to imagihs more radical departure from ihe d8ai of government. state and ratioaal seHfos sd by the fathers of the

Is Most Important

'The consolidation of these two proper ties is the most important movement in the development of the iron and steel in- dustries of the south since the purchase of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company by the Steel corporation; and following the purchase by the Woodward I'd Iron company of the Birmingham Goa, and Iron company's properties, affects most favorably the entire Birmingham district.
 Tt means that the new company, which will have capitalization of s30000, GOO. will own eight blast furnaces a modern steel plant, 75,00O acres of coal lands and S0,00o acres of ore lands in Alabama and Georgia, and 1900 coke ovens"

Baltimore, November 6.-The time for depositing stocks with the. Baltimore Trust company under the plan for iaerg- iHg the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company, and the Southern Iron and Steel company expired today but it is intimated that belated holders who sWore to accept the terms offered under the plan will not be excluded. It is understood that approximately 5000 shares of preferred stock of the Alabama Con- solidated Coal and Iron company were deposited with the Baltimore Trust com pany, local depository under the merger plan. This is in addition to 5000 shares of the preferred owned bv Joseph H. Hoadley, which have been deposited with the New York depository
 While no figures are given out, it Is understood that the company which rep resents the interest of the Alabama Con- seiidated preferred stockholders, control at least 5000 shares. According to infor- ma ation from New York today a sufficient amount of the bonds of the Southern Iron and Steel company had been deposited for the purpose of the merger committee. This committee is sole judge as to the amount of stocks and bonds of the two companies necessary for carrying out the plan and it is expected the company will declare the plan operative shortly.
 HOadley Is Successful
 New York. November 6.-(special)-Jo- seph H Hoadley. president of the Ala bama Consolidated Coal and Iron com pany, completed today the merger of the Alabama Consolidated and the Southern Iron and Steel company.
 A majority of the underlying securities of the Southern Steel company, and a ma jority of the entire capital stock of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron com pany has been deposited with the Bank CTS Trust company and pledged to the merger plan.
 This defeats the effort of the preferred stockholders of the Alabama Consolidated at Baltimore to gain control of majority of the preferred stock, because they ob- jected to the division of securities, al- though they did not object to the plan of the merger otherwise.
 It is anticipated that the merger com mittee will extend the time for foreign stockholders to deposit the securities held by them, there being a small amount of both classes of the Alabama Consolidated stock held in Europe. and a majority of the common and preferred of the South ern Iron and Steel company is held there
