TARIFF ON STEEL
CHARLES NJ scHWAB TESTIFIED
BEFORE THE HOUSE COM.
MITTEE TUESDAY.
IS AGAINST A REDUCTION
A Moderate Change Would Make No
Material Difference But q RadI.
cal Change Would Do
Harm.

Washington, Dec. 1e.-Dlsagreeinl
with the published views Of Andrew
Carnegie. with regard to tho stseI
schedule Of the tariff. Charles M
Schwab, former president of the
United States steel corporation, gave
valuable testimony before the house
ways and means committee at the
tariff hearing Tuesday.
While he practically admitted that
the conditions which existed nine
years ago would have permitted a re-
duction In the steel schedule at that
time, he said that the cost of every
Item entered into the manufacture Of
steel rails had increased to such an
extent that conditions should be
changed to permit of tariff reduction.
In five years there will not be a
bessemer steel converting works left
In the United States" Mr.. Schwab pre-.
dicted. "Bessemer steel will be Of
no use. The same is true Of struc.
tural steel as well as rails. They will
ali b. made by the open hearth pro. |
cess OF manufacture. Costly changes
IN the construction Of the plant will |
be necessary to make the improve
nent in the method Of manufacture"
Mr.. Schwab also declared that with
n ten years the open hearth" BRO
'ess would be superseded by the cleo
ric system Of manufacture, which
vas being developed in Germany.
These conditions in the process of
manufacture increase the quality OF
he STEEL" he continued, "but they
'lso slightly increase the cost Of Jro.
uction."

TRUST CONVICTED
FTDERAL COURT At NEW YORK
DECLARES ToBAcco COM
nINE ILLEGAL.
BOTH SIDES WILL APPEAL
Government DlssatIshed Because Its
Demand for q RsoelvershIp for
the Corporations Was De-
nIed by Decree.

New York, Dec. 16.-Nine com
panies with their subsidiaries art
named o. constituting an illegal com
bination In the final decree. filed Tues
day In the United States circuit court
putting into effect the Judgment re
Gently obtained by the government in
its suit to dissolve the so-called to.
bacco trust. The companies named
are the American Tobacco company,
the American Snuff company, the
American Cigar company, the Ameri-
can Gtogie company, MacAndrews &
Forbes company, P. Lorillard & Co.,
r. J. Reynolds Tobacco company,
Blackwell's Durham Tobacco com.
pany and the Conley Foil company.
Each Of the FIRST flve Of these com
panies. the court declares, is in itself
combination in violation Of law. The
order enjoins these companies from
continuing as parties In the combina-
ton and restrains them from engag-
ing in interstate or foreign trade un.
til reasonable competition" between
them is restored. Nor may the COM
panies named. or their subsidiaries, |
acquire by conveyance or otherwise,
the plant or business Of any other de-
fendant corporation wherein any one
OF them now holds stock, or exercise
any control whatsoever over its cor
porate acts.
Both the government and the de-
PENDANT companies will at once take
appeals from the decree. Such &C.
lion on the companies part will make
effective one highly important clause
that which provides for a suspen-
ZION of the injunction during the PEN
iency of such appeal. As the mat
er stands, therefore, the companies
nay continue business as heretofore /
md until an affirmation Of the judg- {
nent is obtained in the supreme court. '
twenty days is allowed for an appeal '
0 be filed. The government will ap- t
cal on what 1t considers errors and 0
missions in the decree, and the de- t
sndants will appeal from the federal Z
ecision Of the court. P
1t is understood that one ground Of G
10 governments appeal will be the b
allure Of the court to declare that n
10 American Tobacco company, the II
merican Snutt company, the Amerl.
IN Cigar company, the American m
logic company, MacAndrews q 81

'mpany have each attempted and are r.

Q statement concerning the purchas,
Of the Panama canal property by thu

language charges that there was any
thing wrong in the acquisition by thu
United States Of the canal property.
These stories," he continues, "were
hrst brought to my attention as pub
lished In q paper in Indianapolis,
called the News, edited by Mr.. Dele
van Smith. The stories were scurril-
GUS and libelous in character and false
in every essential particular. Mr..
Smith shelters himself behind the ex.
cuse that he merely accepted the
statements which had appeared in a
paper published in New York, the
World, owned by Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer.
1T is idle to say that the known
character of Mr.. Pulitzer and his
newspaper are such that the state.
ments in that paper will be believed

Pulitzer.
Il do not believe we should concern
ourselves with the particular indivld.

editorials, articles from correspond
ents, or articles in the news columns.
The real offender is Mr.. Joseph Pullt.

Mr.. Pulitzer has been guilty Is In form
