gle, who underwent seven hours cross
examination in Washington by the
ways and means committee of the
house Of representatives ON the ques-
tiOn Of the ceed OF a protective tariff
on iron and steel. said today that he
was glad the ordeal was over.
Il hope I have been able to shed
some light on the tariff question for
the members OF the committee" he
said. '-aUd ! trust Il will be OF some
vaIaae."
To the committee Mr.. Carnegie re-
tterated that the iron and steel bust
nens q this country is not in need Of
protection. that II In no longer an In
FAINT industry and that with the duties
removed this country can beat the
world in the manufacture OF steel In
practically all its forms. Mr.. Carnegie
acouted the idea that the committee
could settle the question of the steel
tariff by minute attention to figures.
He said unless that body got away
from the minute OF figures and con.
sidered the problem before ii on 9
broader basis than this IL would be
led into error.
Mr.. Carnegie did not 60 into detailed
figures himself. He said he could
not and that the subject had TO be
considered on a different basis from
that of statistics.
1t was pointed out 10y Mr. Carnegie
that. while it was true the cost oi
steel had increased relatively. vet II
was true likewise that it WAS increas
/ ing relatively abroad. that the situa
tion abroad as to the iron and stee
| business was much worse than here
and that the resources abroad were
not comparable t0 Americas. He rea
soned that because of this. with Amer
ica's tremendous progress i'm methods

competition.
