STEEL MERGER
Federal Trade Commission Is
sues Complaint Against Beth
lehem-L acka awanna Concerns
CHARGES UNFAIR METHODS
BY the Associated Press

Washington. June 5.-The Federal
Trade Commission has issued a formal
complaint against the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation and the Lackawanna Steel
Company. charging they have been and
are using unfair methods of competition.
The complaint grows out Of the merger
recently effected by the two companies.
The commission made this announce
ment today In report to the Senate
in response to the recently adopted res
olution Of Senator La Toilette, direct.
ing inquiry into the merger by the
commission and the Department Of Jus.
tice.
Stating it had the proposed merger
Of steel companies under observation
prior TO Senate action on the La Fol-
lette resolution and had closely fol.
lowed developments along that line. the
commission in its report said II now
had treason to believe. in the language
Of its constituent act, that the proposed
Bethlehem. Lackawanna merger, when
consummnted, will constitute an unfair
method Of competition in that II con-
tains dangerous tendency unduly to
hinder competition and to restrain COM
merce and that proceeding by the
commission in this respect is in the
public interest.
The commission emphasized. however.
that the issue Of the complaint ex =
pressed no final Judgment IA to the
legality Of the Bethlehem -I.acka awanna
merger That is a question. the com
mission snid. to be determined after
hearing Of the two companies on
July "a.
The commission also referred to the
pending merger of the Midvale Steel
md Ordnance Company, the Republic
Iron and Steel Company and the In
land Steel Company, but said It has
not yet been able to reach a reason TO
believe either that the proposed three
company mergers will or will not carry
the same tendency and capacity as in
the case of the Bethlehem Lackawanna
merger"
The details of this plan. however. -
the commission added. ARE being care =
fully followed and 10 soon as the com
mittee is in possession Of sufficient in =
formation it will make further report
10 the Senate as TO the second Of these
proposed mergers.
