The ICC on Sept. 28 denied the application of the company, for
authority to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock of the Wheeling
Railway, such transaction not being "consistent with the
public Interest."

The services for which Otis
& Co. would be thus compensated include, negotiations (presumably)
between that concern and the Taplin interests, and efforts, expended
by Otis & Co. iri discussing the matter with officers of the Nickel
Plate, in working out the transaction before/it was fully developed.
But the prime reason urged in support of the large sum which
would be paid indirectly to this concern by the applicant is risk
arising from' the firm commitment of Aug. 19, 1943.
It appears evident from the, foregoing that the original commitmentrof Otis & Co. to purchase the Taplin shares was made under

that an agreement existed {for early

purchase of 10,000, additional shares of the stock at

The price proposed to be paid
stock is $2,650,000 and for the stock owned by the
McVeighs $520,000; total, $3,170,000, exclusive of Interest.
The applicant states that it
is "informed that Otis & Co. will
receive certain compensation from the Taplin interests for services
rendered in connection with the sale of the aforesaid 50,000 shares,
but no commission, fee, or other compensation is to be paid by the
applicant in connection with the purchase of any of the shares to
be acquired."
The compensation to be paid to Otis & Co. is $49,900,
which is just short of $1 a share, and $100 less than the additional
cost, $50,000, of buying the Taplin stock at 53, instead of at the
price of 52 in the case of the stock proposed to be purchased from
the McVeighs,
Negotiations leading to the proposals herein began with a tele¬
phone message to the applicant's offices by Cyrus Eaton, a stock¬
holder, and. an important figure, in Otis & Co., and since April, 1943,
a
director of the Chesapeake
& Ohio.
The Tapllns owned about
61,000 shares of Wheeling & Lake Erie common stock.
Eaton advised
the applicant that the widow of Frank E. Taplin had informed him,
as
an
investment banker, that. she wished to dispose of her stock.
About five or six days later, namely, on July 20, 1943, John W. Davin,
the applicant's president, stated to the company's board of directors
that
approximately 61,000 Wheeling & Lake Erie common shares
recently had been offered for sale, and he understood that they
could be purchased at a price somewhere between 52 xk and 55/After
general discussion, the 12 directors present at the meeting adopted
unanimously a resolution authorizing the proper officers of the com¬
pany to negotiate for, and purchase, approximately 61,000 shares of
the stock at a price not in excess of $55 a share.
Under date of Aug. 9, 1943, Otis & Co. and the Taplin heirs had
entered into a letter contract confirming the agreement of the latter
to sell, and the agreement of the former to purchase, 50,000 shares of
Wheeling.& Lake Erie common stock at $52 a share; and on the
same date Otis & Co. addressed a letter to the applicant stating that;

of them, to do anything that they cannot do now, except that the

It is with surprise that we have read the decision, of the Commis¬

inspired articles published in a certain New York newspaper over a
Washington dateline indicating that the Commission was going to
make a special target of Mr. Eaton's relationship to this transaction.?,

statement, however, which we present further below
we are able to give the final and complete results for the week previous—the week
ended Sept. 25.
For that week there was an increase of 20.2%, the aggregate of
clearings for the whole country having amounted to $10,215,073*388, against $8,501,672,771 in the same week in 1942.
Outside of this city there was an increase of 24.6%,
the bank clearings at this center having recorded a gain of 24.7%.
We group the
cities according to the Federal Reserve Districts in which they are located and from
this it appears that in the New York District (including this city) the totals show
a gain of 16.7%, in the Boston Reserve District of
13.9% and in the Philadelphia
Reserve District of 28.7%.

'rX..This is the second stage of litigation over the ownership of these
power properties.
It will be recalled that in July, 1942, the U. S.
Government "condemned" and took over the properties on a plea of
authority under what was known as the "Lanham" Act. These prop¬
erties included
three hydro-electric plants, one steam
plant, trans¬
mission lines and an electric railway.
Late in 1942 the Circuit Court
of Boston, on appeal by the company, declared that the seizure was
illegal.
Immediately afterward, the U. S. Government, in place of
entering an appeal over this court, took action under - special war
legislation and continued to hold the properties. The action was held
valid by another judgment of the local court in San Juan, and it is
against this decision under the War Measures Act, that an appeal

on the approval by the Federal
Communications Com¬
the merger of Postal
Telegraph and Western Union, A. N.
President of Western
Union, said:
"Western Union naturally is
glad that the Federal Communications
Commission, after exhaustive study and hearings
lasting some 12
weeks, has given its approval to a merger
long recognized as desir¬
able by Government
agencies, the Army and Navy, and public authori¬
ties generally, as well as the"
companies concerned.
Even under the
difficult conditions imposed by the
statute, the merger should make
possible a more rapid fulfillment of the
plans developed by Western
Union's management and the devices
developed by Western Union's
laboratories for a progressive nation-wide
telegraph system.
