INDEPENDENTS COMBINE.

Some time ago mention was made OF
the fact that the independent steel men
had combined and would endeavor to
hold up their end in contest for le-
g.timate trade with the giant trust
operated by Gary. Frick and the
others. It seems that Jones. Laughlin
& Co. are not included in the new
combination. but Schwab. backed by
Carnegie, John W. Gates and others
who have been big fish in the steel
puddle. have put their money in. The
| Geographic dispatches of Thursday
contained an item to the effect that the
| independents had secured 100000 acres
OF coal land in Pennsylvania at q cost
Of 5000 600, so il may be assumed
that the United States steel corpora
| ton is not going to drive everybody
/ else out Of the business in case iron
/ ore is made free and the tariff on
manufactured products reduced. So
/ far as the steel trade is concerned Mr..
! Schwsb has the following to say re-
/ garding the tariff:
Cut the tariff OH steel or anything
else you please. American labor can
stand it. I don't care.
u believe in a reduction. 1 feel just
as Andrew Carnegie does on that mat
ter American labor can make the best
steel in the world. and with It we car
compete with the world. I know moth
ing about other lines-that is. technic-
ally. but / have enough confidence in
! American labor to believe that The
tariff can be cut without injuring bust
ness.
Il have been in contact with labor Of
all kinds for many years. and I know
what it can do. I know that American
workmen can produce more steel IN a
given time than any others in tho
world. I know that they can put out
better steel than any others We have
nothing 10 fear from a cut in duties,
because we have the best goods 1t is
true that We pay our workmen more
money than other nations, but you al
WAYS have to pay skillful woTkmen the
highest wages. Therefore, the highest
paid labor is the most profitable TO the
employer. The skillful man makes
money for his employer"
That does not sound as if the indie
lpendents were afraid of being driver
from the field by Gary and Fr'ck II
] the tariff rates on steel are cut. Judge
Gary's only argument before the ways
] and means committee against reduc'
ton was that it would result In the an
o initiation Of the indie pendents. Tit
p latter seem perfectly able to take car'
= of themselves, and the paternal sohci
r tude Of Judge Gary was wasted Ever
the members Of the ways and mean!
? committee were not deceived.
Competition is the life Of trade. so nj
t hail TO the new Independent steel com
: bination.
