Shareholders of the Cyprus Minerals Company and of Amax Inc. voted yesterday to approve the companies' proposed merger. The merger creates the biggest United States-based mining company and the nation's second-largest producer of coal and copper. The new company, with assets of more than $5 billion, will also have significant holdings in oil and gas, gold and lithium. The two companies had combined 1992 revenue of $2.8 billion. The new concern is named the Cyprus Amax Minerals Company. A new co-chairman, Milton Ward, said a primary goal of the merger was to cut costs. He said the merger would save at least $120 million a year in general and administrative expenses. The companies hope to complete the merger on Monday. The merger involves the exchange of a half share of Cyprus for each Amax share.

Bell Canada said yesterday that it was asking employees to work four days a week instead of five to avoid layoffs while slashing costs. "We're essentially asking them to take a 20 percent wage cut," said Francine Giguere, a spokeswoman for Bell Canada, the country's largest telephone company. "Bell hopes that the number of employees who choose to take advantage of these measures will be sufficient to reduce the work force by the equivalent of 5,000 employees in 1994," the company said. Bell Canada, a subsidiary of BCE Inc., will also freeze management salaries and cut vacation pay. The company employs more than 46,000 people.

The Pensler Capital Corporation confirmed yesterday that it had pulled out of a joint bid for Katy Industries and said it was considering making an independent bid for Katy. Pensler's former partner in the Katy matter, Rosecliff Inc., said on Thursday that it had pulled out of the joint bid. As a result, the two companies may now find themselves rival bidders for Katy, an industrial holding company based in Elgin, Ill. In a statement, Pensler said it believed the company was worth "significantly more" than the $25.75 a share offered by the Carroll family of Colorado, which owns 52 percent of Katy's shares outstanding.
