figures 80" was presented E. L.
Hamlin, Indiana Bell Telephone
Company district commercial super
intendent, today by President G. H.
Rottger in celebration of Hamlin'S
thirty years of service with the COM

securities listed at their book valu-
alton.
Appraisal of these securities at
their current market value un-
doubtedly would more than double
this figure, for the du Pont Corpor-
alton carries its General Motors
holdings on its books at 100000, 600
under the market value.
Wall street, its imagination STIR
red by the vastness of the picture,
is deeply bitten with curiosity as to
the du Pont plans. Is this amazing
family seeking to put a finger in the
pie of control of the U. S. Steel Cor
poration? Or does the purchase of
the stock represent merely a shrewd
investment of ever-growing surplus
funds amounting to approximately
$50 900, 900 annually?
The Federal Trade Commission
is also curious and has ordered an
investigation into the stock rela-
tionships of the corporations.
If, as is possible, the stock pur-
chase is nothing more than an in
vestment, it has already proved it
self a shrewd one. The du Pont in
terests, buying 114,0o0 shares out OF
their surplus funds, have already
effected a profit of about ST.
100000 on the subsequent rise OF
the stock.
Made Much Money
The soundness of their employ
ing surplus funds in this manner
is unquestioned. The case is very
similar to the du Pont entry into
General Motors, except that in the
latter case their holding of 2,000,-
600 shares represent nearly Is pei
cent of the stock outstanding. The
balance of the stock is spread suf-
ficiently wide to give the du Points
virtual control.
The General Motors investment
has also proved sound one. II
has brought W Its owners profit
of approximately 1854, 100000 in
the past seven years. The stock was
purchased at an average price OF
SAC share; it is now selling well
above 5000 a share.
Different Policies
Doubtless the du Points, If they
are seeking control of the Steel
Corporation, have been prompted
to such. action by the results OBJ
tanned III administration of General
Motors affairs. This concern has
become a veritable giant through
the linking up of numerous motor
car companies with many other in

dustries and the formation of new
projects.
AS compared with this, there Is
the ultra conservatism which has
marked the course OF the Steel Cor
poration. Here are two of the
worlds largest companies which
have been under policies almost ex-
kactly opposed. The Steel Corpora
ton has diversified its activities
only so far as has been absolutely
necessary. Even its expansion plans
along lines already engaged in have
been conservative.
Tangible advantages OF an al
lance between these two giants
would come through sale by U. S.
Steel to General Motors of its steel
products, just as General Motors
now buys its, paints and lacquerS
for automobiles from the du Pont
Company.
In the main, however, the corpor-
ations would be tied together by the
strongest of bonds-that of capital
but their respective interests and
pursuits of their particular bust
nesseS would remain distinct.

BY JOHN w. HILL
Financial Editor, The Iron Trade Review
Possibility of a gigantic, over
towering industrial combination is
seen in the announcement that the
powerful du Pont interests are &C.
quiring large holdings of United
States Steel Corporation stock.
The du Points already own a con-
trolling interest in two other indus
trial giants-E. I. du Pont de Ne
mours g. Company and the General
Motors Corporation.
The direct or indirect linking of
these three massive units under
one common financial control or
management would form commu-
nifty Of interests Of staggering pro-
portions, even in this day Of fabu-
lous figures.
Whether or not this is the ulti-
mate aim of the du Points remains
to be divulged.
Gary's Death Sped Plans
The death Of Ebert H. Gary,
chairman and guiding genius of the
Steel Corporation, since its birth,
undoubtedly has speeded whatever
plans the du Points have with re-
spect to that great industrial.
At the present time the du Points
own less than 2 per cent of the out
standing common stock-about ia
600 shares. This Is not enough
stock of itself to justify any impli-
cation of attempted control by the
du Points. However, it is sufficient
to indicate an important interest
on their part in the affairs of the
corporation.
Judge Gary's advanced age had
foreshadowed his early retirement
or death. Pierre S. du Pont has
been considered a likely successor.
Nothing Like 1t in History
The combine of the du Pont in
terests with u. s. Steel and General
Motors, if eventually effected, would
have a stock capitalization-based
on stock market quotations of the
three companies-of approximately
100000, 900. There has been no
similar imposing industrial struc-
ture in the history of the world
The combined capital is four times
the figure offered Henry Ford re-
Gently for his gigantic enterprises
The three-way combination would
have an annual earning power of
more than $500,OO0,O0O annually
Based on reports Of the companies
for last year, nearly 100000, 600
would be paid out annually in divi-
dends to more. than 100000 stock
holders.
Huge Cash Resources
The combination would do an
annual gross business of more than
81, 0OO, OO0, 900, and would have ire
mendous cash resources of about
$500, 100000, including cash and
