OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL
TO Sue Steel Corporation Under VAL
entine Trust Law.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 12.-It was
learned today that Attorney General
Sheets will bring suit against the United
States Steel corporation, under the Valen-
tine trust law, regardless of any steps
the company may take to comply with
the law governing foreign corporations
doing business in tine state. The attor-
ney general declined to make public the
plan of action agreed upon. 1t was stated
at the office of the secretary of state,
however, that notices would be sent to
the United States Steel corporation not
later than Thursday, calling attention to
the fact that it has failed to comply
with the law requiring foreign corpora
tions to file certain reports with the state
oIlcers, and to pay the tax of Ito of l
per cent on the proportion of it's capital
stock st, used in Ohio. 1t is believed that
the reply to this notice will be referred
to the attorney general, and that it viii
be used as the basis for action. The at
torney general stated today he was act
ing in full accord with the secretary of
state in the matter. 1t is said the sniff
against the United States Steel CORPORA
tion will be similar to the one filed against
the Standard Oil trust by Attorney Cen
eral Watson some years ago

that the prospects of trouble in the mills
is slight. The Oil City plant of the Ma
tional Tube company is moving without
trouble.
It is reported that an attempt Will be
made at once to reopen the Crescent
plant of the American Tinplate company
at Cleveland. Four skilled men from
the Monessen works are said to have left
there for Cleveland this afternoon, and
others are to be obtained in this state
and Ohio. An effort is also to be made
to start UP the Humbert plant of the
American Tinplate company at South
Connellsville. If the effort fails this
plant may be one of those dismantled
and consolidated with Monessen.
Two men who claimed that they were
seeking work were ordered out of Nc
Keesport as suspicious characters today.
They insisted that they were not va
grants, but had come to town to work.
The police decided that they must leave,
however. Discussing his stand on the
question of police protection, Mayor
Black said today:

no right to interfere. l thought TODAY

IS RUSHED WITH BUSINESS
Earnings for July the Largest in
History of the Company, With
Exception of Four
Other Months.

General Manager S. c. Stickney, of
the Chicago Great Western railway, told
the Globe yesterday that the people
of Winona need have no fear of losing
the Winona Western shops or general Of
fees now that the line in question has
been absorbed by the Maple Leaf system.
1t was feared by Winonas thai the
Great Western management would deem
1t advisable to abolish the general Of
fees and move the shops from Winona
to st. Paul.
Instead of aboishing any offices or
moving any Shops, said Mr.. Stic1ney,
1.-The Great Western will do considerable
improving and building"
Mr.. Stickney stated inc.denta ly that his
road was simply rushed to death with
business, and although the line had pur-
chased many new cars since last year, all
of the rolling stock was in constant use.
Our earnings for July were the largest
in the history of tie company, with the
exception of four other months said
Mr.. Stickney Then you must under
stand that July is supposed to be dull
month in the year for the railroads."
