tlrely inadequate. Only about 12 per
cent of the total product of his COM
pany was sold abroad and these ex-
ports only chiefly to such countries as
Mexico, Argentine. South Africa and
Japan and relatively little to the steel
producing countries of Europe. In
reply to Mr.. Littlefield's inquiry as to
whether American manufacturers had
as direct connection with these for
eign markets as German and English
producers. Mr.. Gary said: 81 can not
answer that off-hand but I believe
'that'we labor under great disadvant-
age as compared with our competi-
tors" When asked If the tariff OH
steel was handicap on American
shipbuilders, Judge Gary emphatically
replied that it was not and pointed out
that all materials for ships built or re-
paired in this country for the foreign
trade were admitted free of duty He
added that his company sold steel for
ships built for the coastwise trade at
the same prices as for ships built for
the foreign trade and reiterated the
statement that prices of ship steel in
this country were now substantially
on a parity with the prices of ship
steel manufactured in Europe and sold
to European shipbuilders.
At times, he said, Germany and Bel
gium are very aggressive in compet-
ing with the United States and used
this country as a dumping ground
for their surplus products. Germany
takes care of Germany" continued
Mr.. Gray, you may be sure of that
and large bounties are given. There
fore Notwithstanding the tariff on steel
we are subject to fierce competition"
He claimed that the higher forms of
manufactured steel made In this coun-
try are superior to that made abroad
and attributed this condition largely
to the superiority of the skilled labor
in the United States.
The tariff on steel in Canada is the
same as in the United States, $7.S4,
but In addition to a large bounty they
have a fifty per cent dumping clause.

this" Mr.. Gary was accompanied by
his secretary, Mr.. J. K. Farrell, who
assisted him in giving the committee
information.
He was followed by Theodore JUS
tice of Justice, Bateman & Co., wool
manufacturers of Philadelphia, who
stated that he had no interest in the
bill except that he represented the
eighty odd million people who would
have to pay the subsidy. He gave
the committee some very interesting
information as to the situation in
which Germany would be placed in
case war was declared between that
country and the United States, relat-
ing conversation which he had had
with q German naval officer. This
officer declared that the United States
had fine ships, "but they are under
ofticered and 'under-manned and you
have no auxiliary defense-nothing to
fall back on. You can make fine
parade, but in the first conflict We
will wipe you off the ocean for when
your first line is gone you have moth
ing else to fall back on" He attrib-
uted the tremendous development of
the West to the railroads built by
land subsidies and the expansion of
our manufactures to the protective
tariff and said the United States would
have merchant marine to exceed
Germany if we follow the German
policy.
"The Senate has done it's duty" he
said, 1.-The president will sign the bill.

owners for carrying our products,

case of war with them" When asked

By e. c. snyder.

Washington, ID. c., April 16.-The
principal contention of the opponents
OF the ship subsidy bill now pending
before the House Committee on Mer-
chant Marine has been that the reason
why ships can not be constructed in
this country as cheaply as abroad is
that the steel trust demands higher
prices of American shipbuilders for
the steel entering into the construction
OF the ship than it sells the same steel
for abroad. Consequently great inter
est was attached to the testimony of
Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the
board of directors of the United States
Steel company, popularity known as
the steel trust, who came here to spe-
cifically testify on this matter. When.
ihterrOgated by Chairman Grosvenor
OF Ohio. Judge Gary vigorously denied
the assertion that the steel trust sells
snip plates lower abroad than in the
United States. He referred directly
to statement made by J. C. Wallace,
then vice president of the American
Shipbuilding company of Cleveland,
before the Congressional Merchant
Marine commission, in which Mr.. Wal
lace said that he was informed that
the Carnegie company was selling
thousands of tons of ship steel in
Scotland at $24 per ton and was
charging American ,shipbuilders $32
per ton for similar material. Judge
Gary stated: "Mr. Wallaces infor-
nation was entirely unreliable. The
statement attributed to him was not
founded on fact. The U. s. Steel cor
poration sold no ship steel whatever
abroad in 1905: only three of four
thousand tons in 1904; none at all
In, 1903 and I think none in 1902. AS
matter of fact the export prices Of
ship plates at the present time are
very near the domestic prices. and
this Is true of most of our products"
In reply to inquiries from Repre-
sentatives Littlefield of Maine. and
Hinshaw of Nebraska. Judge Gary said
that the u. 8. Steel company had some
dificulty in getting its products ship
ped direct to such countries as Argen-
tine and South Africa and that some
times the shipping facilities were sen-

RAILWAY MUST SHOW
CAUSE FOR INJUNCTION

TRENTON, July 13.-Chancellor
Magic has granted a rule to show
cause why an injunction should be
allowed restraining the Franklin En-
CINE Company and others of Railway
from distributing any of a certain
sum of money appropriated by the
mayor and common council of Rah-
way. The rule is returnable at Jer-
sey City next Monday.
The order results from a suit
brought in the court of %chancery by
the mayor and common council of
the city of Railway against the Frank
lin Engine Fire Company, No. 2, Ed
ward Abbott, William Terrill, Daniel
G. HetGeld, and the Railway Nation
al Bank.
Some time ago the Railway coun-
Gil passed an ordinance granting each
of the fire companies in Railway the
sum of $500, to be applied toward
the maintenance and running expen-
SEES of the said companies. In all, the
sum of $4,000 was appropriated for
this purpose. The money was grant
ed because the companies were volun-
teers. This appropriation was in
tended to benefit Franklin Engine
Company, No. 2, as well as the other
companies. This company, according
to the bill of complaint, received the
money and it was placed by the COM
pany's treasurer in the Railway Ma
tional Bank to the credit of the COM
pany, to be drawn out by warrants
signed by three of the members-Ed-
ward G.. Abbott, William Terrill and
Daniel G. Hetfeld.
The bill of complaint alleges that
the company has not been an active
volunteer company for more than a
year, and even now is in the process
of disbandment. The equipment OF
the company has been distributed
among its members. The bill states
that Edward G.. Abbott, William Ter
rill and Daniel G.. Hetfield now pur-
pose to distribute among the remain
ing members of the company the sum
of $500, contrary to the purpose for
which the money was given the com
pany.
The court is asked to restrain the
defendants from paying out any of
the money~appropriated.
