Announcement was made last night that the Midvale Steel & Ordnance Company, a J100.000. 000 corporation recently organized by "William E.

The latter company, which has leased properties of the Baldwin Locomotive Works and is building another plant, was a separate organization. It is said, from the Remington Arms & Ammu nition Company, of Illion, N. Y., but the announcement made tonight dis closed that Marcellus H. Dodge, presi dent of the Remington Arms & Ammu nition Company, is a director of the new Midvale combination. Midvale Jm Second Largest. With the exception of the United Btates Steel Company, the new Midvale Company becomes the largest steel con cern in point of capitalization in the country, and although Mr. Corey, who made the announcement of Its ad ditional acquisitions, declined to discuss the future plans of the company, it was thought in steel circles today that certain other concerns would probably be taken in at a later date. The Midvale Steel & Ordnance Com pany stands us a holding company for the properties acquired, and Mr. Corey's 'announcement said that in order to ac quire these concerns, and to provide working capital, J70.000.000 of its stock would be issued. In addition to Mr. Dodge, the board of directors of the company include: Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the Kational City Bank; Percy A. Rocke feller. Albert H. Wlggin, president of the Chase National Bank; Charles H. Sabln, president oi the Guaranty Trust Company of New York; Frederic W. Allen, representating Lee.

Mr. Corey becomes president of the holding company, and Mr. Dinkey, vice president. ' It was learned that the price paid for the Midvulc plants was around 000. 000. It was said In steel circles that the ore fields were probably situated In the Lake Superior district and rivaled those of the United States Steel Cor poration in point of tonnage. The Remington Arms Company, It was announced, has contracted to man ufacture 2,000.000 rifles for the Brit ish government. None of the concerns acquired, says the statement, has any debts other than current and "the aggregate work ing capital of the parent company and Us subsidiaries will be in excess of 15,000,000."
