Set Off by Meeting
OF American Wooden
BY the Assoeiot.d Pres.

NEW YORK, July 15.-A spe-
cial meeting of the Board of
Directors of American Wooden
Co. has set of speculation as to
a possible merger of the Arm
with two other companies. ~
The meeting was held yester-
day to fill two vacancies on the
board.
Although the session was at
tended by Royal Little. board
chairman of Textron, Inc, and
Ames Stevens, president of Ames
Textile Corp. American Wooden
officials declined comment on re-
ports that a merger was being
planned.
Joseph B. Ely, American Wool
en- president, said after the
meeting that the idea lis in such
a nebulous state I don't think
it's worthy of comment"
According to, unofficial re-
ports, Mr.. Little would be named
chairman of the board of a new
corporation and Mr.. Stevens
would be president.
Textron has been attempting
for several months to gain con-
troll of American Wooden and
Mr.. Little has advocated o
merger of the two companies.
with perhaps a third included.
Textron is American Woolen's
largest stakeholder.

Dip During Quarter
By the Associated Pres,

NEW YORK, July 15.-A
moderate increase in long dis
lance telephone calls in the Sec
ond quarter of this year was re-
ported today by American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co. which
mad net income of $113,450, 900
for the period.
The second quarter net income
represented a gain of nearly $40
million over the $103, 683, 937 for
the three months ended June 80,
1858. However, because of the
larger amount of stock now out
standing, earnings were euuiva-
lent to only $2.46 a share for the
latest quarter compared with
$2.56 a share for the like 1853
period.
For the IL months ended June
80, net income was SAC, 23O. 900
or $10.16 share against 1888, :
