"In nnilr.lii .,, f , statement Issued
front the ofllees of the Jtclhtehem Steel
orpovatlon, ,.utiiiiB their arrangement to
mirehuse the Pennsylvania Sleel Companv
rroi.crtles." W. ?1. Donner said today. "I
have agreed to participate to the extent of
my stock holdliiRs m the sale of tho prop
erties to lhe Hclhlehent Steel Companv on
a basis which will Insure all stockholders
$100 per share for tho preferred nnd ap
proximately $? for tho common. It also
s provided that all stockholders, except
1MB lite I'lnnsylvjiula Company nnd the
Ilcntlltig Iron Contpiniy, will be paid In
cash, a part of the negotiations contem
plated my roiunlnlnR with tho company
for a period of ilvo years, hut this ar
rangement was abandoned, except ns to
such services an 1 may bo tthlo to render
ilurltiff this year."
To dale. It Is slated, npprovlmately S00,
000 shares of stock of tho Cambria Steel
Company have been turned over to the
Mldvalc Steel and Ordnance Company and
expectations aro that additional shares
will he dellcred In the near future until
virtually tho eiillru Doo.000 shares out
standing has been obtained.
Allotments of the $r.0.000.noo of fi pol
ecat. SO-year convertible bonds of the Mid
vale Steel and ordnance Company are to
bo made this afternoon, hut It Is expected
that the full amount asked for by each
subscriber will not be received, because
of tho heavy over-siibscrlpllon to the Issue.
It Is believed that large subscribers will
receive less than BO per cent., while It Is
considered likely thai some of the smaller
ones will obtain virtually the entire
amount requested.
