BETHLEHEM STEEL
 INCREASES STOCK
C. H. Venner Unable to Block
 C. M. SChWab /

Newark, N. J., Feb. 15.-The Beth lehem Steel Corporation voted at a meeting in the board room of the Fi- delity Trust Company yesterday to in crease the capitalization from ESQ., 00O,000 to $75,000,00O. Clarence H. Venner, head of the General Invest ment Company, objected to the pro- ceedings from the start, but the vote was overwhelmingly in favor of the proposal which includes, as a col lateral feature, the payment of a 200 per cent. stock dividend and the offer ing of 15,00O,O00 new shares to stockholders for subscription at par. MT. Venner was instrumental on Mon- day in getting temporary restraining order forbidding the meeting, but this was modified on Tuesday.
 MT. Venner found plenty of tech- nical objections to the conduct of the meetings, and this worked to delay matters. He objected to the pres ence of Charles M. Schwab in the chairman's seat, as President B. c. Grace was away, and insisted that Vice President Archibald Johnson pre- side. MT. Johnson pres ided. The stock bonds were not in the room when the roll call of shareholders was begun, and MT. Venner held up the meeting for a quarter of an hour un- til they were produced. Afterward he demanded that the stock ledger be brought forth and a messenger was sent back to New York for it.
 In the ensuing delay Mr. Schwab answered questions about the pro- posed financing and melon cutting, which entails the issue of $30, ,000 common stock without voting power. He stated frankly that the reason the new shares would not have a voice in the management was because the larger stock owners desired control of the company to stay where it was, in the hands of MT. Schwab and his asso- ciates.
