mittee with Judge E. II. Gary, Norman
p. Ream, Percival Roberts, Jr., James
Gayle and w, b. Dickson, all steel
trust officials, present. The committee
permitted r. V. Landaberry to appear
as counsel for the corporation. Judge
Gary was the first witness.
He took each subsidiary company
and said they were competing In the
steel industry before the amalgama-
tion. He explained the capitalization
Of the subsidiary companies and out
lined their complete domination by
the trust. He said: THE Carnegie
Steel company does compete with the
subsidiary companies. put my own
construction ON the word compete.
The subsidiary companies are un-
doubtedly owned by the steel corpora
tion because II owns their stock. II
their directors are inimical to the
corporation they would be gotten rid
of. The corporation gets its income
from dividends OF the subsidiaries.
Judge Gary created a sensation on
declaring that President Taft or the
department of commerce and labor
suppressed exhaustive reports on the
United States Steel corporation. which
were the result Of six years Of inyesti-
CATION. He said "the bureau has been
six years investigating our books and
it has cost us thousands VI dollars to
help. The buresu-has accurate in
formation as to the inside facts OF our
business" Asked II the president had
seen these reports Judge Gary said he
did not know. but understood they
we're TO be submitted to him In a few

The Southern Railway and It's
FIremen Not Yei Agreed

Washington. June Conferences
between the mediators and representa-
tives Of the railway and firemen con-
tinued yesterday without conclusion.
The firemen are wrought up over re-
ports that the company. in violation
of the mediation terms, is building
bunk houses along the line In prepa-
ration for a strike. This is denied by
the railway officials.
yice-President Teat, OF the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen, said last
night that the men were making no
preparations for strike and were
pleased with mediation, but that the
2,400 firemen stood ready to walk out
II they see that a satisfactory Settle
ment can not be reached. A strike
within few days seems probable.
Representatives OF the engineers
and conductors are here comforting
with Southern officials. The former
demand an increase OF 25 per cent in
wages, and the latter want revision
Of their old agreement with the COM
pany.
Representatives OF the trackmen
and switchmen of the Southern rail-
way left last night for their homes,
after their demands for increased
wages and rule changes had been
amicably adjusted. Though it is
understood that wage increase was
granted. no statement was given out
other than that the agreement was
satisfactory to both sides.
