widely used for domestic and in
dustrial purposes, action will be
taken to prevent the merger.
Assistant Attorney General Sey-
noour started a study of the gas
situation when the Ohio state
public utilities commission Informed
Attorney General Stone of the
proposed merger and requested that
an investigation be launched.
The Federal probe is covering
west Virginia, Indiana, Ohio. Vir-
sinia, Kentucky, western MARYLAND.
eastern Tennessee, western Penn
syIvania and eastern Illinois, all
these territories being served at
least In part by corporations dis
tributing West Virginia gas.
Officials said that it was doubtful
IL the Attorney General would
sanction any, merger Of gas com
panies which would throw control
Of the distribution system or the
source of supply into the hands of
one corporation.
1t was pointed out that Attorney
General Stone recently refused to
sanction the modification of a Fed
eral court decree prohibiting the
merger Of the American Sugar Re-
filming Company and the National
Sugar Refining Company of New
Jersey. This stand was regarded as
reflecting the view of the Admins
tration In big industrial or COM
