MERGER OF Steel
PLANTS is UNLAWFUL

Washington, Jan. 27.-Merger OF
the Bethlehem. Lackawanna & Mid
vale Steel companies was declared to-
day by the federal trade commission
to be an unlawful action and in re-
straint of trade. Notice was issued to
all the corporations concerned to be
represented at a hearing before the
commission on March Is, prepared to
show cause why an order should not
be issued requiring them to withdraw
from the merger agreements at once.
A total of 46 corporations, subsidiaries
to the parent companies named, were
charged in the complaint which the
| commission issued with being involved
in a general consolidation plan, which
if carried through, would unreason-
ably reduce completion in the supply
of steel commodities to consumers in
the territory north of the Potomac
river and east of Buffalo, N. Y, and
J~ohnstown, Pa.
Instituting proceedings against the
tri-parite merger, the commission
gave notice that its earlier complaint
issued after the Bethlehem and Lack
awanna companies had completed a
consolidation last April and directed
against them alone, would be with
drawn.
By the agreement announced Nov.
"a, the Bethlehem company, already
enlarged by acquisition of the Lacka-
wanna, proposed to acquire control OF
the Midvale properties, and the com
plant charged this agreement now
was being carried into effect.
Under it the Bethlehem company in.
tends to issue $97, 65O 5000, par value
of new common stock, which would e
to the Midvale stockholders.
The Bethlehem company, after tn
consolidation, would be next to thu
United States Steel corporation, TIL
largest steel producer in the Unitet
States, with commo stock aggrega
ting $3.50, ESQ, 1000 at par, preferred o
$62, 600, 900 and bonded debt of $213,
5000, 900.
Specifically, the complaint charge
that the merger plan, projected OF car

this undoubtedly prevented the find
ing of the body at that time, and
thus perhaps bringing to a solution
before the action of the elements
oblitrated all clews. as great a mys-
terry as has been known in Gunnison.
1t was on Sunday, October is, 1921,
that hunter, passing lonely spot
in the thickly wooded forest, found
the bones, the skeleton being prac-
tically intact. Some of the bones
were missing, but enough were found
to make Identification positive.
The location of holes in the skull,
one back of the right ear and an
other just over the right eye, pre-
cludes the possibility either of self
destruction or accidental death, and
principally for this reason there was
not and is not any doubt in the
minds of friends and relatives of the
dead man, that he was foully dealt
with.
An inquest was held at the time of
the discovery of the remains, and the
jury returned a verdict that the de-
ceased came to his death at the hands
of parties unknown.

SERVICES OVER REMAINS
OF HOWARD CARPENTER
Gunnison; Empire.

0uHiiioOHs GIinPhkCs
On Thursday afternoon, the Rev.
w. I. Jones officiating, regular funeral
services were, held over the remains
of Howard Carpenter, whose skeleton
was found on Sunday, October is,
1921, after having lain practically
undisturbed in the spot where he fell
nine years previously.
The services began at 1:30 p. m.
and were attended by large crowd
among whom were many members of
the family and friends from the Sec
tion where Howard had lived.
Woodmen of the World acted as
pail bearers. They were Guy Palmer,
Henry Crooks, Joseph Blackstock, E.
NJ Collins, S. ]. Miller and Henry F.
Lake. The interment was in Masons'
and Odd Fellows cemetery.
A resume of the case discloses that
Howard was on hunting trip on the
day of his death, and that upon his
failure to appear extensive searches
were made, covering closely the coun-
try over which the missing man was
known to have passed. The noun
