PENNSY SEEKS
READING OUTLET
May Reach Bethlehem Plan
Through Line From
Lebanon

Lebanon, Pa, Dec. G. With the
purchase by Charles NJ. Schwab, for
the Bethlehem Steel Company, of the
Lebanon and Reading plants of the
American Iron & Steel Manufacturing
Company practically assured by the
action to-day of minority stockholders
Joining in the negotiations, interest
was revived by the proposed extension
of the Pennsylvania Railroad through
the Lebanon Valley from this city to
Reading.
The Pennsylvania has been doing a
big business with the American Com
pany over the lines of the Cornwall &,
Lebanon Company, subsidiary, con-
Meeting with the main line at Cone
WACO, % miles below this city.
Seeks Bethlehem Line
With the acquisition by the Beth
lehem Company of the American
plants here and at Reading in addi-
ton to that of the Lebanon twin fur
naces and control of the Cornwall ore
mines, it is now considered practically
certain that the Pennsylvania Com
pany will seek entrance to the big
South Bethlehem plants and will also
provide an Eastern outlet from this
city by building the 2S-mile line from
this city to Reading, connecting there
with its Schuylkill Valley line. At
present the c. & l.. Railroad extends
well beyond the city's eastern limits.
