tience with the slaggard and bungler.
There is a story told about Gleason
that sounds very much like the man.
The directors OF the steel company
were having a meeting. it is SAID. and
Mr.. Gleason was enga ged in telling
them what should be done for the en-
ployes in the way of safety and fell
lowship work.
That's very fine" said one Of the
directors, but you don't have to have
our permission. CO right ahead"
The reason ! te'1 you these things"
said Gleason, rs because you men are
not in touch with the worknen and 7
don't want you to forget for a minute
that it ie human brains and human
muscle that makes steel And where
you find human brains and human
muscle you will find human hearts and
human needs"
During the steel strike II was mat
ter of wonder to the twenty-five or
thirty newspaper cores spondents that
not even the most active strike lead

Der OF the committee of illustrious

dianapols. Nov. 3.
With Col. Walter J Riley. Mr.

heart.
The Gary mills are run partly by gas
engines but largely on the electricity

that he is a good man TO go TO when
the power is low and interest tagging.
Moreover he is an organizer.
Cleason's personality has been a
growing factor in Indiana politics for
years. BY reason of his influence 1t is
getting easier every year to obtain
recognition al Indianapolis for worthy
projects in this county. He is a city
builder and a man Of great vision. al
ways looking to the future of Gary

is fast putting into operation the most
comprehensive scheme Of city building

DISCUSSED
Report of Merger of lndepend-
entS Is a Long Way Oft
1t Is Said

The long predicted merger OF ten of
the big independent steel companies
VIII not be contaminated for at least
SONS time. according to officials Of IN
land Steel Company and other leaders
mention in tbs rumors. Smaller COM
pa1iea. however, which need additional
capital. may consolidate, II is believed.
The -urrors have revived at the pres
ent time because OF the difficulty in
meeting the competition of the Steel
corporation, now that the demand IS at
the lowest point in over a decade. Mer-
ger talk Is held logical at present be-
cause the lowered surtaxes now in ef-
feet would not prove as prohibiuve as
during the past four years.
OFFICIAL MAKES DENIAL
Vice President C. H Jones of In
land Steel denies his corporation is Civ
ing any consideration TO the matter ana
holds that the talk Is propaganda TO
bring about a consolidation. The COM
pany would not gain anything now
from a merger" he stated. NO meet
ings have been held. no formal iiscos-
sion made The company has a good
market for its products. is not borrow
ing any money and has no need for
bond issue. The business of THE COM
pany is gaining slightly at the present
time but is spotty. Operations are run
ming from so per cent 10 So per cent OF
capacity.
STEP Is LOGICAL
CONSOLIDATION Of several OF the In
dependent steel companies. however, is
logical step" he added. 1T is ap
parent the smaller companies should be
i,i4ced in . better position 10 compete At
all times with the United States Steel
Corporation. So far as know. there is
nothing back Of the present rumors than
d desire on the part of banking interests

gether. but the advantage of a combina-
tion of this sort is readily seen"
La Sale street brokers estimate that
the company will not accept less than
$50 share If a merger takes place, pay
