Field Marshal von Hlndenburg has accepted the honorary chairmanship of the STEEL MERGER WILL NOT RESTRAIN TRADE IT j IS CLAIMED Washington. D. C. June 8—Deny ing that the merger of the BeUiiehem Steel Corporation and the Lackawan na Steel Company will operate to re strain trade the two companies ask ed the Federal Trade Commission to day to dismiss the complaint issued against the consolidation by the com mission on June 3. Concident with the tiling of an swers to the complaints by the two corporations, C. A. deGersdorff, their counsel called at the Department of Justice and assured Attorney General Daugherty the companies were anxi ous to puace immediately at his dis posal all facts regarding the propos ed merger. Delay would seriously handicap the companies, he asserted, asking that the investigation be push ed forward as speedily as possible. Each company filed separate an swers to the commission’s complaint, denying the authority or jurisdiction of the commission "over the transact ions alleged in the complaint.” In the Bethelhem reply, signed by E. ‘K. McMath, secretary of the cor poration. it was asserted that neither the Lackawanna Steel Company, nor any of competition with the Bethle hem company, nor any of its subsid iaries. It was also asserted that the “carrying out of the agreement of May 16, 1922. and the operation by the respondent (Bethlehem), direct ly or through its subsidiaries of the properties of the Lackawanna Steel Company, will not violate the prov isions of—any law of the United Stat- The Bethlehem reply admitted some of the point* set forth in the commission’s complaint, but took is sue with the commission’s figures concerning production of certain rail road accessories by the Lackawanna company. Both companies, in their answers, took up the commission’s complaint in detail and answered each allegat ion admitting some charges and deny ing others, but ceaching the conclu sion that the merger would not in any manner run counter to existing statutes.

Chadbourne, the lawyer who negotiat ed the triple alliance. Independent? now exist by suffranee of the corporation because It can de liver products at a cost $3 a ton under any of the others, he said. The new merger would cut $1 from this dif ferential through reduction in selling and administrative expenses, Chad- bourne estimated. Tt would be slash ed still further through lower deliv ery costs resulting from better geo- grahical distribution of facilities, he said. If the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company and the Brier Hill Steel Company had come into the consol idation. as originally planned, the combination would have been able to cut the differential even lower by building an ore road from the Ohio river through Youngstown to Lake Erie to compete with the Bessemer and loake Erie, owned by the steel corporation, the attorney said. But Chadbourne explained be was not going to make aniy further effort to get Youngstown and Briar Hill Into the merger, because he “had had trou ble enough with three,” and did not care to “enlarge hie troubles.” The Lockwood committee enlarged' Thomasville cigars, them for him by declaring him in con tempt because he would not produce expert reports made on the valua tions of all seven companies which it was originally contemplated would enter the merger. Chadbourne said he was willing to submit the report on the three companies which have agreed to merge, hut he held the committee had not jurisdiction to call for the report embracing the four outsiders. Samuel Untermyer, the committee counsel, reminded him that one wit ness who declined to give up data demanded by the committee had spent a month in jail for his act hut the Lawyer stuck to his refusal and wa* declared in contempt. Then it was found the subpoena served upon him did not specifically call for the origi nal report on the seven companies, so a new subpoena was made out calling upon him to produce it today! Mrs. S.

AMERICAN NAVY TRYING COUPLE AT ANDERSON Anderson, S .C., June 9—Robert W. Sullivan, secretary of the Orr Cotton Mills, and Mins Ruby Floyd were kid naped from an automobile in front of the young woman’s home here late last night by a band of masked men who “gave them a lecture” as they de scribed it, and dropped them in the woods some three miles from town The man was warned not to be seen in Miss Floyd’s company again, he told police, but he denied reports that had reached them that he had been beaten. He and Miss Floyd and the latter's mother, Mrs. Ada Floyd, in formed the police that the men were dressed in regalia resembling that of the Ku Klux Klan and Miss Floyd as- erted she was positive one of the men was a negro. The couple said they would be unable to identify any of their abductors. Sullivan, who is about 31 years of age. was recently taken in custody at Miss Floyd's home, but no charge, was made against him. A charge of “dis orderly conduct” was made against her, however, as a result of remarks attributed to her in a conversation with a neighbor who had complained to the police She Is about 18 years old. The masked band came up last night in two automobiles and tour men put Sullivan on one machine while three took Miss Floyd in the other and rapidly left town, police re Informed by Mrs Floyd, but the only clue they had until the couple made their way back to town was the marks of a struggle around the cars. They were unable to ascertain which way the cars went. CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES FLOURISHED IN SWEDEN Have your mirror* made new. We have an expert from the factory who will be here only one week.

(By Mail)— Swedish cooperative societies flouri shed last year as they have never done within the history of the Cooperative Union of Sweden which was founded in 1899. says the annual report of that organization just issued. In the same period Swedish busi ness, commerce and industry suffered heavy losses or at the best showed small profits. Whether the coopera succeeded in spite of the world wide depression or bacause of it i? hard to say, but the fact remains that the dismal year of 1921 was for them banner year. Sweden at present has about 1,000 cooperative stores, besides many varieties of other inventures such as cooperative dwelling and building as sociations, purchasing societies, large number of cooperative dairies, far mers’ societies, seventy egg-selling organizations, cattle breeding socie ties and fruit and vegetable growers ooperatives. Last year’s report show's that a net surplus of about $125,000 has been made by these non-profit mak ing societies while the cash on hand has increased from $1,250,000 to $1,- 850,000. Deposits with different braches of cooperative unions, which conduct limit savings bank activities, increas ed to the equivalent of $3,350,00. representing small savings of coopera tive society members. The central union has started its own producting plants in several places. The report states that mem bers of the cooperative societies are enabled to purchase practically all necessities at the lowest prices obtain able, as well as sell their products on most favorable terms through their own joint organizations. The greatest number of coopera tive enterprises, the report shows, are to be found in the big industrial centers where the bulk of member ship is drawn from the ranks of workmen and their families.

C., June 9.—Having originated the first smoke screen evei us^d by a navy, the American navy is now developing a new smoke screen Instead of the dense black smoke, used by the German navy in escaping the British fleet in the battle of Jutiand, the new-fangled American screen for ship operations is to be. a dense fog and made at a considerable saving of money. In disclosing the Navy Department’s experiments with the new fog screen Rear Admiral Robinson, chief of the bureau of engineering, told a Senate committee that it was believed the fog screen would be even more penetrable than the old black smoke clouds. The latter are made by feed ing too much fuel in the ship boilers. This, Admiral Robinson said, was costly, wasting fuel and fouling boiler tubes In some cases it weaken ed boiler walls and was dangerous, he said. The engineering bureau now is pefecting plans to make the fog screen by feeding oil above the boilers, just below the smoke .outlets, and admiral Robison said the experiments so far justify belief that the new fog screen will be move effective and less costly HUNDRED THOUSAND SAVED FROM PLAGUE Thomarvllle Variety Work, Window and Door Screena PAVO NEWS LETTER.

C A decrease of one-half since 1904 in the death rate from tuberculosis in the United States was reported by Dr. Charles J. Hat field, managing director of the Natio- nal Tuberculosis Association, at its annual meeting to-day. This means for the year 1921 a saving of 100,000 lives, he stated. In 1904 the death rate was 200 per 100,000. Pre liminary figures for 1921 indicate that the l-ate will approach 100. In Framingham, Mass 1 ., where a health demonstration has been carried on since 1916, under the auspices of the association, the death rate has been reduced to the figure of 40 per 100,000 for 1921. “This Framingham figure." Dr. Hatfield, “is indicative of what may be done under such specialized methods and programs of work. Tu berculosis workers throughout the country will join with us in being im patient for a much more rapid rate of progress when it is realized that in the United States there are still about ] ,000,000 persons with active tu berculosis and that 100.000 men, women and children are dying annual ly from this preventable and curable disease.” Tuberculosis kills almost twice as many men as women in New York city, Godias J.
