Buying of Steel Evident, Based on
Expected Rebound from Decline.

New York, Feb. 2o-There were two
features 70 the general aspect Of the
stock exchange transactions to-day-the
one. 2 further enormous selling Of the
United States Steel issues, principally,
however. OF the common shares. and the
other the great resistance presented by
the stock market as q whole to the SYM
pathetic influence OF a declining move
ulent OF such magnitude in a prominent
quarter OF the security list
There was no further news bearing
upGa the steel situation to-day than was
contained IN the formal statement issued
by the chairman OF the board Of directors
CT the Steel Corporation last evening.
which had been fully foreshadowed both
in popular estimation and by the course
Of events yesterday. Il was to-day re-
ported that the open market in steel
products applied to steel rails as well as
20 other leading articles, and that rails
were quoted in the market at & cut of
s. a ton from the former standard list
price
4 Drop Of 71-4 Points.
The view OF Spectators and of the
majority Of investors was, naturally, to
the effect that until there were some
signs Of a slackening OF liquidation in the
United States Steel issues, buying orders
therein should be withheld. On the other
hand. there were those who were cour-
ageous enough TO buy Steel common
stock to-day. basing their purchases upon
the solitary fact Of the large and sudden
decline that has taken place in the price
OF the stock
The stock has fallen since Monday q.
ing movement
The fall in Steel stocks to-day. of
course. provoked a decline in stocks OF
the Colorado Fuel and Iron and Pressed
Steel Car class. although very singularly
the Amalgsmated Copper and American
Smelling and Refining shares were alb
sorbed with such readiness that their de-
cline was almost trivial.
Adverse Decision Feared.
The same disparity was presented in
through There appeared TO be a certain
amount OF especial pressure upon the
Pennsylvania and Reading stocks by rea-
son OF some spprehensions regarding the
possibility that an adverse decision IN the
commodity clause may be handed down
at Washington next Tuesday. These.
however. were the only prominent rail-
road stocks exhibiting any weakness
worthy Of the name. even such an active
stock as Union Pacific common closing at
only a fractional net decline
II might have been the case. whether il
was OF not. that the reason for the
strength thus shown in the standard rail-
way shares was the obvious circumstance
that a reduction IN the price OF iron and
steel materials means a tremendous saw
ing to the railway companies OF the land
The weekly hank statement. issued to-
day. received small attention. Il was.
however, favorable. showing in both the
actual and average figures q decrease in
loans. an increase IN cash, and q round
increase IN surplus reserve

COALITION PLAN
GOES GL|MMER|NG

Washington, May Pit was an
nounced last night that the coalition
of democratic senators and progress
siye republicans" has been broken Sc
far as the income tax question is con
cerned and that amendments on that
subject would be presented by both
Senators Bailey and Cummins.
Both of these amendments will pro-
vide for flat rates of tax but they
differ on some other important fea-
lures, particularly the proposed tax on
corporations.
1t was stated upon the highest au-
thority last night that an agreement
has been reached between the finance
committee and the supporters OF
free lumber that the duty on dressed
lumber shall not be more than 50
cents per thousand above the rate
fixed on rough lumber, whatever rate
that may be.

MADDEN DECLARES |
THEY WERE STRIKES
DENIES RECEIVING $1,000 TO CALL
OFF KLICkA PLANT
TROUBLE.

Chicago, May 22.-The defense in
the trial of Martin B. Madden, presi-
dent of the associated building trades
of Chicago, and his associates, f. A.
Pouchet and M. j. Boyle, who are
charged with betraying union labor
by accepting graft money in settling
fake" strikes, put in the main part
of their case yesterday. The testi-
mony probably will be concluded to-
day noon.
In building up defense, Madden's
lawyers took these lines
Broadly, that union labor was being
prosecuted by the Chicago employers
association.
Specifically that the strikes, con-
corning which the state introduced
testimony of payment of money, were
legitimate strikes.
That $1,000 was not received by
Madden, Or any of his representatives
in settlement of strike on the Joseph
Klicka plant
Motions to take the case from the
jury and to force the state to indi-
cate what particular counts OF the
indictment would be put before the
jury were overruled.
The most important witness, of sew
eral who testified late in the day, was
Max P. Thomas, business agent OF
the architectural iron workers union.
He said he was in saloon when
George S. Andres, a contractor, ell
tered. Andres Thursday swore that
he paid Madden $1,000 to settle a
strike. The witness said that Madden
and Andres had talk about the work
having been let to a non-union con-
Germ, and that Madden told the con-
tractor he would have to go to the
organization. He was with the two
all the time and denied having seen
Andres give Madden money

tration last December. Everybody
under arrest charged with completely
