At about the same time five extor- tionists were seized as they were ac- tepting a decoy tribute from their in- Bended victim. Joseph Cerra and Carlo Oliveria, who since their arrest last April, waded | through several legal tangles, were found guilty and sentenced to prison for one to five years each. In addition, both were fined $500. The technical charge against the! pair was “possession of bombs.” Both confessed, however, to selling bombs “gver the counter.” Cerra, who ad- mitted “tossing a few pineapples” be- sides, was said to have been a member of the “bomb trust,” reputedly headed by one of the Aeillo brothers, once a powerful gangland factor, but now a dilapidated band of alcohol cookers. The extortionists were caught at the home of Joseph de Lenro, who had re- ceived two Black Hand notes in the last two weeks threatening him and | his family with death unless he paid | $600 tribute, ‘Yesterday De Lenro took the letters | to the police; when the extortionists appeared at the De Lenro home last ntht and accepted a dummy package they were arrested.

That is the approximate depth of the latest oil well to be classified as the | world’s deepest. It is the 9,357-foot | Hathaway, No. 7, at Santa Fe Springs field near Los Angeles. It took 108 sections of drill-pipe, each as long as the average eight-story building is tall, to reach the bottom of this well. Twelve Woolworth Buildings set on top of each other would just equal its Drilling Cost $300,000. Fifteen men, working three shifts a day, drilled the well at an estimated cost of $300,000. Oil field engineers describe the well as “virtually straight” for its entire depth, which is considered unusual for a well extending nearly two miles into the earth. The entire drill weighed 344 tons. Miles of steel cable, on a powerful in drilling to depth of 9,357 feet. steam-driven drum, handled the drill by working through a six-ton six- wheel pulley block hung in the top of the derrick. Eight hours were spent by the dril- lers for each “round trip” to unload a core of bored rock. Sometimes the drill, boring through short_bore, Throughout the mile and four-fifths depth the drill penetrated sedimentary rocks. Character of Strata. Strata included alternating layers of sand, sandstone, gravel, clay, hard blue shale, broken shale and oil sands. Numerous fossilized shells were found in rocks from great depths. Three layers of oil sand, ranging from 100 to 200 feet thick, were pene- trated near the 8,000-foot level, but none below that. Tests from these sands brought confidence of obtaining ofl there. Now the well casings is being ce- mented so production of oil may be- gin soon.

MERGERS EFFECT BUSINESS SAVINGS New Methods of Economy Are Prevalent in Mod- ern Industry. BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star. In the present business situation | there is absolutely no room for inef- | ficlency. This fact is being thoroughly recognized by business men and by | workers alike. In consequence, opera- | tions at industrial plants are being conducted more economically and with less waste motion and expense than ever before. This change is marked in the recent mergers and consolidations, under way or proposed, such as the natural gas mergers first outlined by these columns, the steel mergers of the Middle West, also predicted far in advance by the writer, and the bank consolidations, which have been going on in all sec- | tions of the country and which came to a head with the merger of the Chase National Bank, the Equitable Trust Co. and the Interstate Trust Co. Foreign Competitior. These improvements and economies have been found necessary to meet competition in foreign markets, where surplus products from the United States are sold. They are also needed to main- tain individual positions in domestic markets against home and foreign com- petition. These trends have been re- sponsible for the heavy sales of elec- trical equipment and new machinery and account in no small part for the fact that Bethlehem Steel doubled its rofits last year. It is worthy of note | that Bethlehem had rejuvenated and electrified its plants the year pre- vious. Steel operations, while they have shown a falling off in recent weeks, are taking on a more hopeful trend as ad- ditional specifications on oil contracts are received. The automotive industry is maintaining its steady output in a remarkable way and is absorbing & larger portion of the steel output and using larger quantities of raw and fin- fshed material than was anticipated two months ago. Despite this fact, retail dealers of one of the largest producers report sales in this country over 30.000 units less than in the corresponding period of last year. Copper Situation. Airplane production is picking up, but the improvement is largely in the pas- senger-carrying planes rather than in the sport models. A The effect of a sound statistical posi- tion is clearly demonstrated in the steadinegs of copper. The demand is not_excessive, but prices have been well maintained despite that fact. Zinc, on the other hand, with the poorest statis- tical position in the non-ferrous group, has fluctuated over a considerable range. The demand for apparel is picking up. This is not extraordinary at this season of the year, since the Easter de- mand is & preity stable one. The total demand is normal, but not that for woolen fabrics and cotton textiles. On the other hand, silk and rayon goods are extremely active. The shoe busi- ness is showing excellent proportions. Men's apparel is moving at only a fair rate. The shipbullding yards have been well engaged and as additional mail con- tracts are let this industry gives prom- ise of still further expansion. The Winter resorts are now winding up what has been a somewhat unsatisfac- tory season as the volume of the tour- ist trade has not béeen up to usual. Radio Industry. ‘The radio industry is shawing re- markable ability to readjust itself after its period of wild overexpansion. Some o fes have fallen by the wayside, but the larger producers, going into by- products and sidelines, have very well stabilized their production methods. The decision of the Senate to leave oil on the free list was regarded by some in the petroleum industry as a disaster and by others as a blessing, and will be little changed as a resuit.

Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, March 22.—The bitter proxy battle being fought to prevent the proposed merger of the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. with the Bethlehem Steel Corporation has had the effect of 'focusing public attention on a bright new star in the financial firmament in the person of Cyrus Stephen Eaton, Cleveland banker and leader of the op- position to the proposed consolidation. Almost unheard of four years ago outside of his own town, Mr. Eaton in that brief span has become a national figure in the field of high finance. To the public, perhaps, he is known as the creator of the widely heraled Republic Steel Corporation, with assets of $360,000,000, the third largest steel company in the United States and still growing. Prominent in Three Fields. To his associates, however, this quiet, unobstrusive banker, who started out in life as a minister but was soon ca tivated by the fascination of big bu ness, is known as a dominating person- ality in three great industrial fields— the statistical position of oil vrobthl)" public utilities, steel and rubber. Although still several years on the sunny side of 50, he already has a con- trolling voice in the management of) corporations with combined assets in excess of one and a half billion dollars, while his investments in other corpora- tions run into millions, Mr. Eaton's first venture in big busi- ness was in the public utility field. In- terested in that industry first by John D. Rockefeller, jr., he soon became a full-fledged operator in public utility properties in the Middle West. He has a genius for organization. It quickly became apparent to him that what the utility industry needed most was more compact corporate struciure, greater efficiency and economy or operation and put his ideas into practical effect by a less overhead expense. He set out o W Organizer. consolidation of Midwestern gas and electric properties into the Continental Gas & Electric Corporation. That was back in 1912. Twelve years later he created a $500,000,000 merger of the Continental Gas & Electric, Kansas City Power & Light, Columbus Rallway, Power & Light and United Light & Power Companies, which he since has consolidated with American Light & Traction in & $700,000,000 merger. Merges Steel Firms. Meanwhile the Cleveland financier had ventured into the steel industrial field, first acquiring Trumbull Steel, then merging it with the Republic Iron & Steel, and finally consummating his $360,000,000 Republic Steel merger last year. Mr. Eaton has other big steel interests outside that merger, includ- ing holdings in Youngstown, Inland, ‘Wheeling, Gulf States Steel and Cleve- land-Cliffs Iron Co. Some of those companies, certainly Guif States, are likely to be absorbed by his Republic Steel Corporation, which eventually he hopes to build up into an organization second only to the United States Steel Corporation, Still seeking new industrial fields to explore, Mr. Eaton early this year bought control of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., largest manufacturers of rubber in the world, with assets in ex- cess of $240,000,000. Prior to that he and his associates had acquired large blocks of stock in Firestone Tire & Rubber, the B. F. Goodrich Co. and the United States Rubber Co. Those large interests, greater in that industry than those of any other singlé group, nvf :he Clevellndmvin.rd and his as. sociates a commanding tion in the rubber manufacturing inmtxy. It is known to be the aim of this constructive genius ultimately to effect & merger of rubber companies, in fur- therance of his dream of building & gret't industrial emnire in the Middle est.
