EIGHT STATES INTERESTED
IN GAS COMPANIES MERGER
Department of Justice Expects
Legal Fight Before Proposed
Question is Finally Decided

An Associated Press dispatch dat
ed at Washington on the 23rd inst.
will be read with interest by gas con-
sumers in this section of the country,
involving as it does the right of the
gas companies furnishing fuel to To-
cal people to merge into one COM
pany. The dispatch reads:
Officials of at least eight states
have become interested in the pro-
posed merger of Ohio and West Vir-
ginia gas producing and distribut
ing companies, and the department
of justice expects big legal fight be-
fore the question is decided.
Department officials declare the
supply of natural gas for lighting
and fuel in West Virginia, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana,
Tennessee and part of Virginia and
Western Maryland, will be involved.
Investigation of the proposed mer-
ger was begun several months ago by
Assistant Attorney General Seymour
to determine its legality under anti
trust laws. The department has sew
eral agents in the field, but the inves-
tigation is far from complete and no
conclusions have been reached. Re-
gardless of federal action, it is eX-
pected interested state officials will
carry the fight into the courts.
Officials of the states named were
said today at the department to be
much concerned over any plan to
concentrate the gas supply in the
hands of one or even two or three
companies. Several state utilities
commissioners are expected to take
appropriate action. This expectation
the department bases on correspond
ence with officials of every one of the
states affected.
Department officials are being sup
piled voluntarily with new informa-
ton by the state authorities who in
turn are given access to information
gathered by the department investi-
gators.

Yesterday Morning When Mer-
curry Registered 81 Degrees

istered 20 degrees below zero.

ment thermometer located at the hot
