Chadburne, lawyer, who negotiated in the Midvale-Inland-Republic steel merger, has purged himself of the contempt charge declared against him yesterday by the Lockwood legislative committee when he refused to turn over data on four other steel com- panies originally contemplating en- trance into the merger, Samuel Un- termyer, committee counsel announc- ed today. Mr. Chadburne cleared himself by | turning over the desired data and Mr Untermyer announced the committee now has all the information it desires concerning the merger. Mortimer L Schiff of the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,, will not be recalled for further examination for this reason he said. Mr. Untermyer said the data on the four companies which did not enter the merger would be treated confi- dentially. The experts reports on the three companies entering the merger which'| were submitted by Mr. Chadburne showed that the companies had had an average net earning capacity of $19,000,000 over the last ten years. The high point was in 1917 when the combined earnings were $60,000 and the low in 1921 when their combined losses were $11,000,000. Combined assets of the three com- panies are approximately $263,000,000 Mr. Untermyer said he proposed to subpoenae Wall street brokers in an effort to ascertain how it came about that stock in the merged companies was offered for sale in Wall street be- fore the merger was completed.

Chief among the groups are 220,- 000 clerks, 22,000 men in the signal cdepartments and 80,000 freight hand- lers and truckers. Although board members made no direct statement regarding the next cut, rumors were persistent in pre- dicting a smaller reduction for the clerical forces than those affecting the shopmen. The reason for this was said to lie in the fact that the clerks did not receive increases proportion- ately as great as other groups of em- ployes when the wage scale was going up Outside the board rooms railroad Jackson may be the key to the whole alleged blackmail plot against Walter S.
