be more friendly disposition to-

this there should be more earnest

Proposed Merger Is
Watched With
Interest
EXTENSION OF
OPTIONS ASKED
Earnings of All Three
Concerns Are Run
ming Very High

Financial men are waiting with
unabated interest the completion OF
the International Steel corporation.
by which name the company into
which IL is planned 10 merge the
Cambria and Lackawanna steel com
panies and the Youngstown Sheet Il
Tube Co. Is 10 be known.
The proposal is practically at a
standstill. while an effort is being
made 10 secure new options from
stockholders. That these viii be OBJ
tanned seems more than likely.
Earnings OF the three companies
TO be merged are running so high
that II may prove difficult 10 con-
vince all parties concerned that the
consolidation would be TO their mu-
tual benefit. However, there seems
10 be no question but that a SUN
cient majority OF the stock OF the
three companies will be brought In
10 assure the success OF the merger
plan.
The only new bit of information
available the latter part OF this week
TO throw light on the long-pending
negotiations for the merger was a
statement made in Youngstown. D..
by James A. Campbell, president OF
the Youngstown Sheet a. Tube Co.
who. II is understood. is slated for
the presidency OF the independent
steel combine. Mr. Campbell. &C
cording to press dispatches. an
nounced that an extension had been
asked on options OF all three com
panies.
A definite plan will be submitted
TO the stockholders OF all three com
panIes within a few days, IL Is re
ported. Mr.. Campbelf's statement
indicates. that the merger will not
be effected until Feb. Is or later.
II has been pointed out that one
OF the advantages Of the proposed
consolidation will be that the com
bine will get the benefit OF the enor
nous ore reserves OF the Cambria
Steel Co. and of the equally large
coking coal reserves OF the Lacka
wanna Steel Co.
An effort was made to bring In
the Inland Steel Co, bat the sugges
ton was turned down by the inter
ests in charge OF that company's af
fairs, Il Is understood.
