GARY is OPTIMISTIC.
Sees Continued Prosperity-Ready
to Improve Rails.
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune ]

Chicago, June 21.--E. H Gary. chairman Of the
board of directors of the United States Steel
Corporation. who is in Chicago on a tour of in
specton. o-day prophesied a continuance OF
financial and commercial prosperity for the ma
rion. He said there was scarcity of money in
comparison with the volume of business, but
construed il as a natural consequence OF the
countTys rapid commercial growth.
Incidentally, he said that he had read an ed
itorial in Golfers Weekly" which attacked the
United States Steel Corporation in connection
with censure bestowed upon it by Z. H. Harrl-
man, who blamed the company for furnishing
defective rails that resulted in wrecks
In my opinion the financial condition Of the
country is perfectly sound" said Mr.. Gary
There is an evident scarcity of money in COM
parison with the volume of business, but this
means simply that the volume Of business has
increased faster than the volume OF money. 1t
indicates the extraordinary resources Cf this
country as a producer. There is no good reason
for a financial or business panic OF the steel
business I will talk only in general terms. We
have made substantial increases in wages and
are paying higher freight charges than we did
last year. but the outlook seems good, notwith-
standing"
When the subject of Mr.. Harriman's roast"
was mentioned Mr.. Gary said:
Representatives of railroads and representa-
tives of manufacturing companies are in confer
enoe with reference to the question of making
better steel Also they are discussing better
methods and improvements in the handling and
use of steel rails. 1t is probable that ultimately
they will agree. All recognize the fact that II
il is practicable to improve the rails or the use
of them there should be no hesitation in adopt
ing whatever methods may be found available
Mr.. Gary slowly shook his head when asked
to comment on successive paragraphs of the edt-
torial attacking methods of the steel company.
