negie before the Committee on Ways
and Means OF the House of Representa-
tives, which is securing evidence de-
signed to assist II in the preparation
Aof new tariff bill which will come up
for consideration at the extra session
OF Congress.
Mr.. Carnegie had primed himself for

ne was to undergo. and he kept the
committee and audience in constant
laughter by his ready retorts and wit
He would not deal in figures. claiming
that the more that figures were used
the more the subject would become be

viii Not Hurt Wages.
Mr.. Carnegie in the course of his an
swers characterized Mr.. Schwab as a
genius and Mr.. Gary as a most lovable
man, but a very shrewd one, He ex-
pressed the opinion that wages would
not be reduced II the tariff was lowered
or removed entirely.
Incidentally, Mr.. Carnegie declared he
was utterly opposed TO an income tax,
believing. as he said, with Mr.. Glad
stone. that such a tax produced a ma
ton OF liars.
The Laird OF Skibo Castle testified in
support of the statements that ne made
in his magazine article declaring par-
sistently that the facts show that the
steel industry needs no protection. As
