Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 23.—A plan
has been presented to the attorney
general of the United States prelimin
ary to the consolidation of a number
of independent steel companies into a
concern which would be a formidable
rival to the United States Steel Cor
poration.
The companies which would he
braced in such a consolidation, should
no objection be raised by the Govern
ment, would include the Pennsylvania
Steel Company, Bethlehem Steel Com
pany, Cambria Steel Company. Mid
vale Steel, Lackawanna Steel. Crucible
Steel and Jones and Laughlin. The
recent legal victory of the steel trust
has encouraged steel and financial in
terests to press forward with their
plans for a second combine.
Swab Dominant Factor
The dominant factor in the new
! combine, according to stories heard
yesterday, will be Charles M. Schwab,
lirst president of the United States
Steel Corporation and recognized as
the leading spirit in the steel trade in
this country. It was also said that
Henry C. Frick would have no great
interest in the new concern, in tact it
was said that Mr. Frick was now sell
ing out his large holdings of Cambria
Steel stock.
One of the preliminaries to the new
combine was the acquisition of the
Midvale Steel Company, and it is un
derstood that plans now are shaping
for control of this great armor plant
to pass to new parties, said to be re
lated to the Schwab interests. A sec
ond step will be the announcement
shortly of the exercising of the option
on the Pennsylvania Company ma
jority holdings of Cambria Steel stock.
The Pennsylvania Railroad not
long ago confirmed the report that
William H. Donner, president of the
Cambria Steel Company, had an
option on the Pennsylvania Company
holdings of Cambria Steel and Penn
sylvania Steel.

retaliations have made absolute con
traband practically everything which
was conditional under the Declaration
of London.
One thins: seems to officials certain
—German naval commanders now are
ordered to exercise the rights of visit
and search with respect to all Am
erican ships to determine what cargo
the vessels carry, thus making it
practically sure that none will be at
tacked without warning or ample time
for passengers and crew to be trans
ferred irrespective of the cargo.
Considered with reference to the en
tire controversy between Germany and
the Cnited States the Frye note is re
garded as an indication that the Ber
lin Foreign Office is anxious to avert
a break with the Washington govern
ment. This Increased to-day the In
terest in Germany's attitude toward
the negotiations over the Arabic.
The note says: "The German naval
forces are not to destroy American
merchantmen which have loaded con
ditional contraband, even when the
conditions of international law are
present, but to permit them to con
tinue their voyage unhindered if it Is
not possible to take them into port."
Germany gave this assurance "in
order to furnish to the American gov
ernment evidence of its conciliatory
attitude."
