NELSON FLAWS STEEL TRUSE.
Makes a Forceful Assault Upon the
Gigantic Steel MONOPOLY.

S'~ N~
Gigantic Steel Monopoly.
Washington, May Is. - Declaring
that the iron and steel industry of
Minnesota needs no protection, and
that the supply of ore has passed into
the hands Of the steel trust, Senator
Knute Nelson yesterday attacked that
item of the tariff bill which proposes
a duty of % cents per ton On iron ore
and which passed the senate yesterday
afternoon.
The greatest body of iron ore in
the country is in Minnesota" he said.
"One-half of the ore produced in the
United States in 1908 came from the
Superior region. This ore needs no
protection. It is practically owned by
the steel trust. and is mined by that
organization, operating under other
names in different places.
Control Is Absolute.
This organization, with its seven
lines of railroad running from the
mines to the lakes. absolutely controls
the mining in nat section. 1t does
this by making rates so high that no
Independent miner can afford to ship
his ore.
The same interest owns the rail-
roads that own the steel trust mines,
and the high freight rates do not hurt
them, but when an Independent miner
opens a mine, he is either forced tc
sell or lease to the steel trust, because
he cannot afford to ship his ore over
their lines.
This is the way the steel trust has
gained control of practically all of the
beds in the state that have been dis
a number Of steel manufacturing
plants that have been trying to com
pete with the steel trust. l believe
free ore would help them, and l am
willing to place ore on the free list,
though it is n of the great products
of the state. because | believe it will
assist the Independent steel men in
their fight. and | think other senators
ought to be equally generous"
Vote Is 81 to "a.
Just before adjournment the senate
adopted by a vote of 81 to "a the rec
ommendation of the committee or
finance Of a duty of 25 cents per tor
on iron ore. The house had placed
that article on the free list. while the
present law levies a duty on it of AZ
cents per ton. In taking this vote
party lines we're nnihilated, as seven
teen Democrats voted yea with the
Republicans, and twelve Republican.
| voted no with the Democrats.
