WatchwOrd of New Regime
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Control of the
United States Steel Corporation, the
greatest industrial concern in the
world, is now completely and absolute
ly vested in the Rockefeller group Of
capitalists and Henry Clay Frick, the
enemy of Andrew Carnegie.
Formal announcement of this fact
may not be made in set words, but the
effect of the change from the control
Of J. Pierpont Morgan will soon be
made evident John D. Rockefeller and
Frick have fully worked out their plans.
These provide for the complete elimina-
ton of Morgan Perkins Schwab- Carne-
gle interests from the active leadership
in the affairs of the steel corporation.
Standard Oil methods are hereafter
to be employed from top to bottom in
the management of the steel trust. The
first to feel this will be the men who
are drawing salaries of from $4,000 to
S25, 900 a year. Many Of these men are
friends of those who dominate it's man.
agement. These employees, under the
new regime, must either stand for a
reduction in salaries or get out.
The new plan is to run the corpora
ton for its owners, the stockholders,
and not for personal friends Of the con-
trolling interests. No employe will get
more than the actual value of his SER
vices.
Like all movements by the Rockefel-
lers, control of the steel corporation
was accomplished secretly. Il has been
in progress for more than six months.
It was not known even by anybody
familiar with what was going on that
Frick was associated with Rockefeller
The alliance is said to he Of recent orr
gin.
The ultimate purpose is to put the
steel corporation in the same class of
conservative management as the
Standard Oil Company, and to attain
that end none of the necessary surgical
operations in finance will be spared.
The work is to be taken up in a spirit
that is absolutely hostile to everything
done in the past by Morgan, Perkins
and Schwab.
Whether the change in control will
also bring about a change in the presi-
dency of the corporation is not known.

JAPAN STORES FLOUR.
Pacific Coast Mills Have Been Supply
ing Cargocs Since August.


STOCKTON, Dec. 29.-J. NJ. Welsh,
president of the Stockton Milling Com
pany, is authority for the statement
that the Japanese Government has
been buying -four in immense quanti-
ties from the Stockton and other Pa
cific Coast mills since last August. Mr..
Welsh states further that Japan has
now sufficient flour on hand to supply
the needs of her army and navy for 81
war of at least one years duration.
For almost five months past shipload
after shipload of flour has been
shipped from the mills on this coast
to Japan, but it was supposed by the
general public that it was consigned to
private dealers and for the general
trade. 1t appears, however. that the
Japanese Government has bought the
flour quietly, but direct. Discussing
the matter Mr.. Welsh said:
Japan has now full stock of -four,
probably sufficient for her needs for a
year at least, which she has purchased
gust. Furthermore, if she desired to
increase this stock she would order
from the Pacific Coast mills, as we can
lay -four down in Japan at least so
cents per ton cheaper than Mime
apolis can. Milling wheat is now
worth exactly the same in Minneapolis
as it is here. We can make it into
-four for exactly the same cost as
Minneapolis can. Consequently Japan
