L 6. GRACE BONUS
HELD $1,623,753
Bethlehem Steel President
Testifies on Amount in
Merger Hearing.
Mr the Associated Pre*s
YO'JNGSTOWN, tphto, July 21.
Eugene G. Grace rectmed a bonus of
*1,623.753 in 1923 as president of
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, he testi- j
fled today in the suit to enjoin sale of
the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co to !
Bethlehem.
The bonus was in addition to the stip
ulated $12,000 annual salary, to which i
he testified last week.
Revelation of Grace's compenration j
for last year followed a hard-fought '
three-day legal battle
Attorneys for the Cyrus S. Faton In- :
terests, opposed to the merger of the j
Youngstown and Bethlehem companies,
sought the testimony in support of
their contention that the Bethlehem
company paid Graje unwarranted
amounts, and that these amounts were
fraudulently concealed from the stock
when they ratified the merger last j
April.
Objection Overruled.
An objection by defense attorneys to
the question about Grace's bonus was
cons'dereu over the week end by Judge
David G. oenklns and overruled shortly
after court opened today. The court
held that inasmuch as Grace testified
his present bi.nus arrangement had be°n
in effect for tie past five and one-haff
years he woulv be allowed to state the
amount
Grace then testified that since 1925
he ha* received a bonus of 3.319 per i
cent of the net earnings after fixed 1
charges, less an amount equal to the j
annual preferred dividend, but before
depreciation. The earnings of Bet hie- I
hem were $49,000,000 in 1929. making
hts bonus $1,623,753.
H? explained that if earnings were
low he was entitled only to a bonus
of V 2 per rent, but explained that
since 1925 earnings had been high
enough to permit the 3.319 per cent.
In the argument preceding Grace's
testimony on his bonus Attorney F. H. j
Wood of defense counsel argued that
the total bonus payments and per- |
centagss in Bethlehem should "serve j
Whatever purpose the plaintiffs had '
without idle curiosity and parading of j
figures." Wood argued further that to ■
give out the amount of individual
bonuses would break down the morale 1
of the B»thlehem Corporation.
Luther Day of Cleveland, chief of the
Eaton attorneys, charged in his reply ]
'*«iat Grace financed a loan of SBOO,OOO
.to Piekands. Mather & Co., ore firm, j
to buy Youngstown company stock !
prior to the merger ratification.
x Would Be tnrrensed.
"Grace's bonus would be Increased by
the acquiring of Youngstown Sheet &
Tube.” he said. “Youngstown stock
holders are entitled to all facts, condi
tions and details in regard to this.”
Continuing the questioning of the
Bethlehem head after the amount of
the 1929 bonus had been stated, Attor
ney Day asked:
"You stated previously that you re
ceived. $12,000 a year?”
Grace replied in the affirmative.
"IsVi't it a fact that you receive a
certain compensation every month?"
“No," he replied, "not as I under
stand it.”
"Do you receive *12.500 each I
month?" continued Day.
"Not as I understand it,” was the
answer.
Grace then explained that he received
• check for SI,OOO monthly as salary
and later when calculated, his bonus
check.
Corrects His Testimony.
Following a recess Grace corrected his
testimony to say that he does receive
a check for $12,500 the first of every
month. Os this, he said. SI,OOO is for 1
salary and the remaining *11.500 is
deducted from his bonus when it is j
calculated.
After that his testimony concerning '
negotiations leading up to the merger, j
Ke stated his first discussion about a
merger with the Youngstown company
was with Charles M. Schwab, chairman,
of Bethlehem.
The first time he talked to any one
connected with the Youngstown com
pany. he said, was during a trip to ore
reserves of the Northwest in 1926 or
1927 with James A. Campbell, chair
man. and H. O, Dalton, director' of
Youngstown, present.
The talk was general. Grace testified.
Inland Deal Discussed.
"When again did you talk to any one
about a merger with Sheet & Tube?”
asked Day.
"The first part of January.” said
Grace, referring to the present year.
“Mr. James A. Campbell came to my
apartment at the Plaza Hotel In New
York City and had breakfast with me.
He asked me if we were interested in
a merger and I told him I wouldn't ex
press myself one way or another.
“I knew that he had some arrange
ment with Island (steel company;. I
said that until such time as I knew he
had no other irons in the fire I wouldn't
express myself.
"Mr. Campbell felt that he was not
entirely free from Inland. I told him
that under those conditions I did not
want to express mvself in any way. I
told him that if he was subsequently
Iree from other negotiations I would
talk concerning the merger."
Next he testified to a meeting with
Campbell and Dalton on January 16.
He said the meeting lasted nearly two
hours and that only the advantages# of
a merger were discussed. He related the
discussion in detail. It was agreed, he
*aid, that due to the location of the
properties of the two companies the
ability to distribute products would be
improved Bethlehem had a limited pro
duction of pipe, he stated, while the
.YoungstovYn company had overproduc
tion.
Would Follow Policy.
Bethlehem, the president said, had
been putting into effect a policy of
gradually building up lighter products,
but had unfortunately acquired plants
with heavier products. The merger, he
said, would have brought about an ideal
ratio of 65 per cent heavy products and
35 per cent light, products.
The combination of the two com
panies, he continued, would have cre
ated a billion-dollar corporation and
placed it in a position for more effi
cient competition with the United
States Steel Corporation. Among the
advantages which he said Bethlehem
would bring to the Youngstown com
pany was a better cash position and
•hipping on all waters.
It was decided at the conference,
Grace said, that Price. Waterhouse
Co. should be employed to do the au
diting because the firm had for many
years been working on the books of
both companies.
He related another meeting of Febru
ary 13, after Price, Waterhouse & Co.
announced Its report ready The ratios
figured, he related, ranged from 1 to
1.27 to 1.
The final merger contract called for
an exchange ol one and one-third
Bethlehem stock to one of Youngstown.

It’s Your A(©P Store
the town you live in is yours
Housewives, visiting a young merchant s store in 1859, found goods on
his shelves they liked —and—as housewives do—told others.
Thus, A & P’a business grew from this single store. First one cus
tomer brought another. Then one neighborhood brought another.
A & P has not forgotten why it outgrew a single store. It knows it
must make good in each community if its stores are to be accepted by
many.
Because A & P realizes this, the A & P store nearest you is run by
your townsmen. Men in your own locality keep your store in touch
with the A & P system. The food on its shelves is there because you
have asked for it. „
A A P is made up of many such atores, just as the United States is
made up of many communities like your own. Your A A P store serves
you better because it is part of a large system, just as your community
suits you better because it is part of a great nation.

Per Cent Increase.
The four nearby Maryland and Vir

[ increased approximately 37 per cent
i in population in the decade ending in
j 1930, while the District of Columbia
1 was noting a 11 per cent increase, it is
I shown in the latest compilation of the
Census Bureau.
These nearby Jurisdictions comprise
with the District what is termed the
Washington metropolitan or trade area
and the total oorulation is estimated to :
be 670.525 This compares with the j
official District population of 465.716
J. Sterling Moran, census supervisor
for the District, said today that the j
population increase in Prince Georges
and Montgomery Counties. Md., and i
Arlington and Fairfax Counties. Va.. j
and Alexandria City offered definite i
evidence that what otherwise would j
have been a greater increase for the j
District had been diverted Jo these |
communities.
The five Jurisdictions increased front
134.339. in 1920. to 184 809. in 1930. or j
50.470; about 37 per cent. The increase {
I in the District was from 437,571 to j
485 716, or about 11 per cent
The population figures for eaoh of
! the counties and Alexandria for 1920 i
j and 1930 were given as follows:
Prince Georges, 43,347 to 60.092; j
Montgomery. 34.921 to 48,897; Fairfax. I
21,943 to 25.566; Arlington. 16.040 to I
26.069; Alexandria, which annexed |
about 3,000 population from Arlington j
County recently, 18.060 in 1920 and |
24.185 In 1930.
Moran said that, study of the 1930
census returns disclosed that the area j
within a radius of 25 miles of Wash
ington contained a population of ,
760.716.
This might he regarded as a larger i
trade area, he said, although the section
takes tn Howard and Ann Arundel
Counties, Md.. and part of Charles
County. Md., which may be said to have
Baltimore as their trade center.

REFRIGERATOR GAS
DANGER IS TESTED

of Lengthy Exposure,
Health Heads Find.
Those who hie themselves to bed '
with Just * little more than suspicious
of the mechanics! refrigerator in the
kitchen, may rest easier for the United
States Public Health Service announces
that the gases used in household re
frigerators are dangerous only in case*
of lengthy exposure to concentrated
vapors.
The Public Health Service made thi*
announcement following a series of
lengthy experiments with guinea pic«,
in which it was found that for single
: exposures and periods of an hour or
more to the toxicity of ethylene dichlo
ride is comparable to the effects of
gasoline, benzene, carbon tetrachloride
and chloroform. Warnings of the pres- ,
ence qf gas in rooms from a Jeakv re
frigerator is given by the distinct'odor
i of the refrigerant and danger symptoms
are produced by relatively .safe con
centrations.
In cases of death produced by ex- *
posure to the gas, the Public Health
Service said lung lesions are the great
est causative factor Summarizing the
physiological response noted in the
guinea pigs, it showed that no serious
■ results were obtained in exposure to
concentrations cf 6 per cent for 5 min
utes, 17 per cent for 10 minutes. 4
per cent for 30 minutes, 0 2 per cent
for two hours, or .11 per cent for eight
hours.
The symptoms produced in guinea
pigs by inhalation of ethylene dichlo
ride were eye and nose irritations.. ver
tigo. static and motor ataxia, retching
movements, semi-consciousness, and ,
unconsciousness, and death when the
exposure was continued.
