HIS PLEA NOT GOOD
scHwAe's APPEAL FOR STEEL
TARIFF UNREASONABLE.
Opposition to Revision Based Upon Fu-
ture Needs-present Generation

Be Considered.

The views expressed by Charles NJ.
Schwab before the ways and means
committee are susceptible OF no other
Interpretation than that the steel in
dustry, II not exactly an infant. is In
a transitional state and until II settles
down to firm basis the tariff should
remain as II is. This Is contrary to
former expression Of Mr.. Schwab's
and directly opposed to the position OF
Andrew Carnegie.
Mr. Schwab justifies the tarif by ex-
planning that the openhearth process
of steel making Is succeeding the Bes-
semer process and that the German
electrical method will succeed all 9TH

BEEF COST EXPERT HEARD
Unwilling Witness in Trust Inquiry
at Chicago.

chicago.-Thomas Hoops, beef cost ex-
pet Tor Morris q Co., sas on the stand
before the grand jury for more than
three hours in the beef trust inquiry, and
from his unwilling lips is said to have
been drawn the secret of just how the
combine has been collecting rebates from
the railroads.
Discovery il said to have come from
his testimony that all beef shipped by
the packers to and from their branch
plants and tse Chicago stock yards is
valued in the shipping bills at about
two and half times the actual selling
value.
The result is that for every $4,000
worth of claims for damages or delay
the trust has been getting $25, 900 from
the railroads. This system is said to
have been operated with the consent and
connivanee of the railroads. Those rail
roads which refused to enter into the
deal got no business.
