fact that Midvale advances rapidly

the steel companies of their action
and said they woud continue with
their appraisals and valuations until
they are convinced that no definite
headway could be made.
Similarly when Lackawanha be-
gan negotiations with Bethlehem
Mr. Downs informed every member

was nothing secret about the deal
Mr. Downs was absolutely honorable

AS to whether Bethlehem inter
ests could purchase control OF Mid
