STEEL TRUST FACTS.
Monopoly BASED Upon uasound Pri.-
ciples At Variance with abe
Peoples Interestss

The Industrial chieftains at the head
Of the billion dollar steel trust may
understand their business as steefpro-
ducers, but rs economists and philoso-
pliers they are wobbly In their logic.
President Charles n. Schwab made
some bad breaks, both as to facts and
theories, when he was before the in
dustrial commission in 1901. Now
comes Judge q. n, Gary, the acting head
of the trust, with three column in
sterview in the New York World OF
November 21st, which can properly be
described only by saying that 1t is q
'corker." Here are few samples OF
his economic wisdom on the subject Of
monopoly:
II am opposed to private monopoly.
No decent man IN America can defend
IT," 8
ut is an imprscticable and utterly
unsound ideasin business
All sound organizers Of industry
recognize the absurdity Of the mon
iopoly theory. No large industry can
last in America unless tits founded on
the basis Of competition, that is, the
survival Of the fittest.n
IF the United States Steel corpora
ton, the most powerful private insti-
tuition in the world, is to succeed, it
must not and cannot found its policy
on q programme of monopoly. It's
success is due to the highest form OF
competition, competition in brains, in
in work. -
No man need fear that monopoly is
making any headway in this country.
A study Of the United States Steelcor-i
poration or Of any other great and,
successful industrial organization in
the United States will show that it is
the spirit OF unsleeping competition
"a competition that avails itself of
every new idea or appliance that
makes success.
But Judge Gary has very peculiar
ideas as to the meaning of monopoly
and competition, as will be seen from
the following quotations from this
same interview:

on all the time between, our various
mills, q friendly, good-natured rivalry,
but none the less eager. 1t is the kind.
Of competition that is giving the indus
trial supremacy of the world into the
hands of America sssil:
No, we know very well that we can
not Win by the device Of a monopoly.
We must win by getting possession Of
the best and most economical raw
products, and by using the most con-
centrated and highly developed meth
DDS OF production. This is q compel
tive, not monopolistic idea"
"Of course the first element Of
strength, which the United States
Steel corporation has is its possession
Of raw products. We own 70, 600 acres
of Connellsville coal, practically the
whole supply of the world. We also
own $4,000 acres Of Pocahontas coal.
These two Goals beat the world for
cheapness and quality We also own
zoe, 0OO, 900 tons of unmined iron. We
have methods of measuring the supply
in the ground, and that lis our estimate.
Then we have about 500 miles Of our,
own railroads, besides something like.
q hundred and fifteen steel boats on
the lakes. Our vast system Of steel
and iron mills is controlled by Is sub
sidiary companies, which in turn CON
troll their own suhsidd ary Companies
No further comment upon Judge
Gary's logic is necessary, except to say
that the only danger he sees ahead for
his world-conquefing trust lies in
lower tariff duties and in less protec-
ton. If we are to be the Dominant
manufacturing nation Of the world, =
he says, 1--WE must be as fully protected
essany other nation" NJ

how to manufacture new definitions.

A gentleman who has travelled
through Italy with his eyes on the
life OF the people says that they do
not have enouhg to eat. ''One is
bound to conclude that, in spite of
his large consumption OF vegetable
and fruit, the typical italian is und-
cried. Cases of death from starya-
ton are very rare. but there is a ter
rible permanent lack Of food. And
yet the men who hayo been nurtured
OF this miserable iare are, perhaps
the most industrious peasants of the
world. There is no more cruel or
untrue launt than that the Italian,
be he from North OF South, is idle.
The Italians are the nayyies Of the
Continent; they have PIERCED the
tunnels Of the Alps they have built
the harbors Of Calais and Marseilles.
Thousands cross the Atlantic every
autumn to reap the harvest, then
return TO gather in their own. The
old Roman energy seems living in
the underfed and oyerwoikedlabor-
ers Of modern Italy.
