TRICKS FAITH IN FUTURE.
Pleads for Less Big Stick and Says
Trade Conditions Are Sound.

NEW YORK, August 2l.-Henry c. Prick
came to town yesterday from his country
place at Pride's Crossing Mass. to attend
the regular weekly meeting OF the finance
committee of the United States Steel Cor
poration. In response to a request for an
opinion on Mr. Roosevelts Provncetown
speech Mr.. Prick said that he had absolute
ly no comment to make On the Presidents
address
Regarding business conditions and the
general situation, Mr.. Frick consented, re-
luctantly. to speak. He said that so far
as the United States Steel Corporation was
concerned the volume OF business now COM
ing in to 1t compared very favorably with
that received at this time last year, and
that the way in which business was holding
up was exceedingly gratifying.
The question of the improved" steel rail,
Mr.. Frick said, was still in allegiance.
AS to general conditions Mr.. Prick spoke
as follows:
4 find nothing in underlying conditions
to warrant the apparent great lack Of con-
fidence in business generally which now
seems prevalent. If there is anything to
justify that feeling in trade conditions 1 do
not see 1t.
Il can understand the vague but real I'M
settlement Of sentiment created by current
agitation against corporations, but this is
in a measure apart from real conditions and
is capable of correction. 1 believe myself,
and always have in the correction of
abuses, whether corporate or individual.
but l feel that such care should be exer-
cised in doing this that only the wrongdoer
should suffer.
Now that the government Is determined
to enforce laws hitherto dormant, would 1t
not be we'll that actions of the past sane
toned by custom and usage at that time.
should not be called into question under
the new order of things. but that such
activity the government has shown
should be taken as evidence of Its intentions
as to the future and serve a fair warn
ing to the arrangements of all corporations?
"Of course, where corporations are still
acting outside of the law unknowingly, it
is to be expected that they should be set
right. but l am sure that can be accom-
plished without harm to any one, and with
out the least injury to credit, If the situation
is properly and intelligently handled by the
administration"
Following the meeting Of the finance COM
mittee Mr.. Prick left the city for his Massa-
chusetts country place to continue further
his summer holiday.
