CAPTAINS OF STEEL INMERGER FIGHT: Cleveland Giant Is Resisting Bethlehem’s Power in Midwest. Br the Associated Press. YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, June 25— | Cantains of steel fighting over the! Youngstown Sheet & Tube-Bethlehem Steel Corporation merger laid their bat- tle lines anew in Common Pleas Court here today. Resumption of the fight that shifted | from one of the Nation’s most spectac- | ular proxy wars into the courts was at hand with the scheduled opening of the hearing of the suit brought by the Continental Shares Corporation of | Cleveland and Myron C. Wick, jr., of | Youngstown, seeking to block the merger. | Financial observers believed the out- come of the suit not only will deter- | mine whether ‘Bethlehem will become a | billion-dollar corporation, but will af fect the future efforts of Middle West- erp capitalists to lessen the influence of | Wall Street outside of the East. Cyrus Eaton Dominates Fight. Although his name was not among the plaintifs, the figure of Cyrus S. Eaton, Cleveland ‘capitalist, who has | amassed millions in public utilities, steel and rubber, dominated the opposition to | the merger. Continental ‘Shares and | Wick, holders of considerable Sheet & ‘Tube stock, are associated with the in- terests of Eaton, himself the largest in- dividual stockholder. | Eaton's group has contended that the terms of the merger are detrimental to Sheet & Tube stockholders, that the | vote in favor of the consolidation by | little more than the necessary two- 4 . TO SAVE IT | thirds majority of stockholders was ob- | of Carolina cities that broke the hun- | E T tained by unfair methods, and that|dred mark. A reading there showed a | some of the stock voted for the merger was not owned by the voters. | The pro-merger group has asserted | that consolidation will be of mutual | benefit because of the divergent prod- | ucts of the two companies and denied | that the means of arranging the con- solidation were questicnable. 1 “Mystery Trunks” ‘Are in Spotlight. | ner in Pickands, Mather & Co.. and what was in four black “mystery” trunks are expected to be two centers Man’s Sixth Suicide Attempt Succeeds; Another With Him By the Associated Press.
