The law must be 'respected. It re

Name of prominent residents of this
City and New York are expected to
be found upon the directorate of thc
American Ship and Commerce Cor
poration when official announcement of
the formation nt this organization is
made, probably next Monday.
The commerce corporation will re
sult from thc Cramp Shipbulldlng-Kerr
Navigation merger.
The interests will be incorporated un
der thc laws of Delaware, with author
ised capital of l.BOO.OOO share's of no
par value. It has been nnnounced that
only so much stock will he Issued as
is required to take over the stock of
the Cramp and Kerr Companies. A ma
jority of the $0,0f)8,000 Cramp Btock
is said to be already in the possession of
or under the. control of thc interests that
brought about the merger.
The two companies mentioned so- far
were the only ones to be included In the
merger plan.
Having a controlling Interest in the
Cramp and Kerr Companies, the new
corporation will hold an Important posi
tion not only In thc shipbuilding in
dustry but also In ocean commerce, as
the Kerr Corporation owns a fleet of
vessels which it charters through agents
and does a large import and export
business.
Thc Kerr people are experienced in
shipping matters and organized the
Kerr Navigation Corporation under the
laws of New York In 1017, embracing
the opportunity for development of
world-wide commerce and shipping that
.was indicated to follow the end of thc
war.
It is understood that the terms for
exchange of ramp Rtock will be on the
basis of five shares of American Ship
and Commerce Corporation for one of
Cramps, but the exact underwriting fig
ure for thc new stock is uncertain. Chan
dler & Co., Inc., who have acted for
the merger interests, are expected to
make a general announcement of thc
plan in a few days. Two other bank
ing houses mentioned in Xew York re
ports as being in the underwriting syn
dicate have no connection with it.
