NEW YORK. May 11.-Merger Of

independent steel corporations in
the country. was announced late to-
day by Moses Taylor. board chair
man of the Lackawanna company.
following series Of conferences
between officials Of the two con-
Germs.
1t is believed in financial circles
that the consolidation of the Lacka-
wanna with the bethlehem marks
but the first step in the formation
of an organization which will
closely press the United states
Steel Corporation for the dominant
position in American steel trade
affairs.
1t is now believed that the en-
larged Bethlehem Company will be
made the nucleus for more COM
plete merger including the six
others. which are: Midvale steel
Company. Republic Iron and Steel
Company. Youngstown Sheet and
Tube Company. Brier Hill Steel
Company, Inland Steel Company,
and the Steel and Tube Company

Rival U. 9. Corporation.
It had been announced early to-
day that the seven-company COM
bination, comprising all concerns
but the Bethlehem. was awaiting
only the settlement of financial
terms, which were to have been
fixed at a meeting in the Offices OF
Kuhn, Loeb and Company next
Tuesday. These bankers were eX-
pected to he the underwriters Of
the big deal, and it is said will
underwrite the eight-company CON-
bination if the other six are taken
in with the Bethlehem and Lacka-
wanna.

for a complete investigation on the

and comes at time when gasoline
prices throughout the nation have
just been given another boost by
the big companies.
In connection with the price ad-
vance in gasoline. It is noteworthy
that two Of the bases upon which
the Independents lay their protests
are:
Two Bases Of Protest.
l. There is now above ground
and in storage in the United States
the greatest amount of oil in
storage in the history of all time"
(This fact was recently confirmed
by the L. S. Geological survey
.. Turning over of government
lands to the large pipeline interests
for exploitation will have the di-
rect result of depressing the price
of crude oil without In any way
relieving the people of the burden
some high prices of refined prod
ucts''-which include gasoline.
The protest was filed with the
Senate by w. II. Gray. president OF
the National Association Of Inde-
pendent Oil Producers. representing
concerns in Ohio. West Virginia,
Kentucky. Texas. Oklahoma, Kan
sas, Pennsylvania and Wyoming.
Generally speaking, the issue raised
by the independents is whether "the
delivery of the naval reserves OF
the United States to the Standard
l-Sinclair-Doheny interests con-
stItutes a return, to the era Of
land grabbing and carpet-bagging
whose hydrahead of iniquity was
crushed by the policy OF President
Roosevelt nearly a decade ago."
Against Leasing Method.
Declaring the association unal-
terably against "the method of
leasing public land without COM
petitive bidding. as exemplified in
the recent contract entered into be-
tween Secretary of the Interior
Fall and Secretary of the Navy
DENLY. and the Standard Oil-Sin-
clair-Doheny interests" Gray's pro-
test says:
I'VE ask that the committee ap-
pointed by your honorable body
(authorized by the La Toilette reso-
lutionD Investigate the contracts
above referred to with a view to de-
termining whether or not they tend
to perpetuate a monopolistic con-
troll of the oil industry. and wheth-
er or not they tend to violate the
spirit Of the antitrust laws, and
whether or not the effect of these
contracts will be to create a mo-
nopoly Of the oil trade with the
