CARNEGIE BEFORE
TARIFF COMMITTED
nrawn by the Power Of 4 Subpoena
Noted steel Masnate Apepars
Before Ways and Means
Committee.
NO TARIFF IS NEEDED
Saws the Cost Of Production at Home
is Cheaper Than Abroad
Foreigners Cannot Ser
lously Compete.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Drawn by
the power of subpoena Carnegie al
neared before the ways and means
committee today. He was apparent
" willing to tell the committee all he
could about steel.
He said the cost of production here
Is cheaper than abroad SO no tariff was
needed. 1t was impossible for for
egners to seriously compete with tle
home manufacturers. Gary was the
ablest man now in the steel business.
He tells you the great concern does
not need the tariff; others do. !
consideration and sympathy for COM
petitors and those who should be COM
petitors is sublime. 1t reminds me OF
a monkey getting the cat to pull his
chestnuts ont of the fire.
Carnegie testified in support of the
statements he had made in his maga-
zine article declaring persistently the
facts show the steel industry needs no
protection. As a witness Carnegie
proved the most interesting one who
. appeared before the committee,
terspersing his testimon. with
humorous ep;grams and remarks.
Praising the genius of Charles NJ
Schwab Carnegie suggested congress
should extend vote OF thanks to
schwab for his work in improving the
methods of steel making in this coun-
try. Speaking OF the testimony OF
Judge Bary before the committee
Carnegie slid:
"Ycu should not place any real val
ue on testimony OF Interested parties
Gary said III, United States steel cor
poration could stand for reduction
In tariff on steel. but that the smaller
steel m nufacturers could not survive
with lowered duties. That's like one
Of Aesop's Fables, like the monkey
who desired chestnuts, but wanted ths
