TO ATTEND OUTING
OF MAINE BANKERS
LOCKWOOD PROBERS
LEARN MORE ABOUT
Big STEEL Merger

New York. June 2.-The Lock-
wood committee kept digging into
the steel business today and learned
some facts about the NIidvale-Re-
public-Inland merger that were not
made public in yesterdays an
nounccment of the consolidation.
But the committee did not learn
what bonus Kuhn, Loeb e Co. are
to receive for raising $65,OCOO00
through a proposed syndicate, how
much preferred stock of the con-
solidated company is to be issued
or what portion of the stock is to
go toward new capital or the price
at which it is to be listed. So, late
today. unable to gain this informa-
ton from the heads of the Midvale
and Republican Steel Company, the
committee subpoenaed their coun-
sci, Thomas l.. Chadbournc, to APP
pear tomorrow.
Throughout the forenoon session
Ebert II. Gary, chairman of the
Board Of the United States Steel
Corporation. was questioned by
Samuel Untermyer, who contended
that the Independents existed only
by the grace of the corporation, and
that the management of the corpo-
ration is dominated by j. P. Morgan
and the banking house that bears
his name.
Mr.. Gary denied that Mr.. Morgan
dominated the corporation. He
would not concede that Mr.. Morgan
had any more to do with naming
the directors than any of the other
six members of the finance commit
tee. He said the corporation had a
surplus of about $12J,0O0,00O and
that it's deposits with J. L. Morgan
& Co., all subjected to check and
bearing 20 per cent interest, ap-
proximated only &S,00O,O00
Since the Steel Corporation can
manufacture and deliver products at
cost from $3 to So below the indie
pendents, Mr.. Cntermyer held that
it could eXterminate all of the other
concerns if so minded. But Mr..
Gary, who believed the differentiai
not more than So, said he did not
think so. He recalled the fate of
high corporations in the
past, and remarked that the Steel
Corporation behaved" because 'it
was right to do so, and second, be-
cause it had to do So"
The mergers in the steel industry,
Mr.. Gary admitted. might restrict
competition.
THE question of the legality Of
these mergers, which are interstate
affairs, is one which l think will
have to be left to the federal prose-
cutting officers to determine" Mr.
Untermyer said. LAS long as the
United States Steel CORPORATION
maintains this dominating situation
in the trade through its differential
of from So to s. a ton, so long as
these other companies are living by
the grace of the Steel Corporation,
it does not sem to make very much
difference whether the few small
concerns merge or do not merge,
from the point of view of COMPETE
ton. After all, such a differential
puts the entire steel business of the
country right in the hands of the
United States Steel Company to do
with as it may choose. Heretofore
they have pursued an enlightened
policy, showing great deal of
vision. and at a great deal of profit,
and the supreme court of the Unit
ed States had said that it was not
combination in restraint of trade
under the antitrust laws"
