sells many Of it's products at a lower
price in foreign markets than at
nome, saying that this practice is fol.
lowed to hold the markets. Schwab
said he did not desire to have the tar
III changed in any respect, considering
II entirely satisfactory as at present
arranged.
Asked for his opinion as to the ef-
feet OF the enactment OF the Bah
cock bill, taking the duty off trust
produced articles, Schwab expressed
opposition to it. He did not consider
as possible any International iron and
steel combine, regardless Of tariff re-
strictions.
Regarding the relation of the COM
pany to labor, he said that while he
would not undertake to outline the fu-
ture policy of the company, he did not
endorse the policy of the labor organi-
cations as in the interest of the labor
ing man himself. He did hope, how
ever. to SO arrange matters that oper-
ators could share in the profits of the
enterprise.
Instead of being a detriment, he con
sldered the big corporations as afford
ing the best openings for labor and
enterprise. There were never such
opportunities Tor brains as today" he
said. If l were a laboring man, as l
once was, | would o want to belong
to a labor organization if employed
by a properly managed corporation
like the steel company, for l would
not want to be put on a level with the
poorer workmen in the establishment.
The tendency is to give the highest
possible price for proper services and
no member Of a labor organization is
in a position to avail himself of such
disposition.
He said the average of wages paid
by the Steel company was higher
than previous to 1892. The question
was n one of wages, but Of the man
agement of the business, with which
the labor unions wanted to interfere.
Schwab expressed himself as OPP
posed to the publication of the &C
counts of corporations and said he
had no legislation to suggest for the !
of corporations. In con
Guiding he said he could see nothing
but good to result from the combina-
He considered them of value
both to the investor and to labor and
thought they were calculated to ex-
tend business.

Can Settle With Conscience,

New York, May thames J.. Hill

country tonight who must settle with
their consciences and they are vel

no money taken as money was taken
Thursday. There will be no pocket
in my shroud. There are men who
have come to believe that money can
do anything in this country. If we
have reached this point, then money
must be shorn by law of it's power to
do harm. | am willing to see money
shorn OF such power. | have no wish
to lave that kind Of power. And in
my opinion the events of this week
will do much to bring about legisla-
ton that will make them impossible
IN the future. l am sorry for the vic

RUIN WROUGHT MOVES COM
BINER TO TEARS.
CRIEvES FOR UNFORTUNATE
Protests His 1%nnocense Of Com
plicity in Cause Leading
to Disaster.

New York, May 1.-THE CONNER
cial Advertiser prints the following in,
terview with James J. Hill:
Mr. Hill, are the troubles between
the Northern Pacific and the Union
Pacific settled?" asked a reporter.
There is no question of any trou.
BILE. l never myself had any doubt
that in the end we should come out
all right and the trouble was no foist-
ed upon the public NY us. l did not
speculate myself in a single share and
the shares OF the Great Northern and
OF the Northern Pacific which | have
today l shall keep, if l can, until
doomsday.
The troubles which have been
caused by this dispute as the pa
pers called it, have been fomented by
the papers themselves. When we, who
are concerned, can get together and
talk the matters over the differences
will not be so great as they appear.
They will not be impossible of set
tlement. But look at the ruin that
has been DONE" Mr.. Hill paused and
turned half around. When he turned
back there were tears in his eyes.
Il have received lots of letters" he
said, from friends or mine, men and
women, who are not rich, who are com.
p~aratively poor. They knew that |
was interested personally and largely
in my properties and they had faith
in them and in me. Now they are
completely ruined and simply because
they have been caught in the vortex
OF a gamble. Yet they bought their
shares in good faith"
"Mr. HILL" asked the reporter, "Do
you not think the community OF in
terests principle and idea is having
a pretty severe trial just now"
We'll, that l cannot talk about now.
| feel too much grieved over the sit
uation. This very morning got a |
letter from the wife of a friend of
mine, telling me of the losses to her
family. | repeat that this trouble has
not been of my making and no one
regrets it more than l do"
will the trouble end soon?"
yes, if common sense prevails"
