NEW YORK, June 1.-Steel and iron
men throughout the world will be in
terested to learn that James Gayley,
vice president of the United States
Steel Corporation, af.er a long series
of experiments, has practically per
fected a new process for making steel

For years Gayley has been working
on the process. He has recently told
his friends that his experiments con-
Quoted at the Isabella furnaces in the
Pittsburg district belonging to the
United States Steel Corporation have
indicated that the new method will
prove practical success. 1t is under
stood that they have resulted in reduc-
ing the moisture Of the air applied in
the converting Of ore to pig iron and
steel. Other new features have also
been introduced.
Briefly stated, the Gayley process of
making steel is a modification of the
Bessemer process, which revolutionized
iron and steel industries The process
will be applied to the manufacture of
pig iron as well as steel. Friends of
Gayley assert that the process will

Merchant Marine Committee, of which
Senator GaIlinger is chairman, resumed
its sessions in this city to-day.
Daniel Emery Of John Emery & Co.
of Boston, owners of ships sailing to
all parts Of the world. advocated the
repeal Of every present law governing
the high seas and the adoption of the
present British laws.
The hearing took a lively turn while
F. E. Atkinson, an importer, was testi-
flying, on account of an exception which
Senator. Lodge took. to one Of the wit
ness statements. Atkinson said he was
convinced that one Of the. most i'm
portant requirements in the upbuilding
OF the American merchant marine was
the erenloval Of the tariff on steel plates.
which he said was extravagant and un-
just. Senator Lodge remarked that ex-
perts had placed the Increased cost for
plates at less than 5 per cent. Atkin-
son answered that he understood that
ships Of the same type could be made
abroad for 65 per cent of the construc-
.tion cost in this country.
William II. Frazier, secretary of the
international Seamen's Union, pointed
out abuses existing in the present mari
time laws, among them too long a pc
riod Of continuous duty required Of
leokouts and insufficient wages. When
the question Of the employment of for
eign sailors was discussed Frazier was
asked:
+ IF sailors can be engaged for 81 a
month; what effect viii the enforced
employment. Of men at IS a month
have on commerce?"
Frazier replied: Il never look into my
employers business"
IT was suggested by the commission
that If Frazier's recommendations were
carried out American shipowners would
