The government contends that the
corporations capitalization of S1,402.-
100000 is not less than SG00,OO0.000 in
excess of the value of the property
taken over and that approximately
half Of its earnings were brought
about by the power the corporation
exerted over trade and commerce.
BY coincidence the filing of the
suit came on the same day that the
Steel corporation took steps which
many persons thought might place it
in better position under the Sherman
law. The directors at meeting only
few days before the filing of the
suit sanctioned proposal to terminate
the corporations lease OF the Great

1t also was decided to reduce the
freight charges on ore over the rail
roads controlled by the corporation
Some of the most severe criticisms
against the corporation have been on
the ground that IL was In a position TO
monopolize trade by reason of its great
holdings of ore lands and by its con-
troll of means of transportation of ore,

~AHE governments suit to dis.
N solve the United States Steel
& corporation means mighty
legal battle. In the petition
which was prepared by former Secre-
tary OF War Jacob MEG. Dickinson,
who has been specially retained by
the attorney general. the government
nlleges that the corporation and its sub
salaries arc an unlawful combina-
ton in restraint of trade and monop-
oily. The steel trusts array of counsel,
headed by Francis Lynde Stetson, con-
tend that the corporation is within the
law.
]. p Morgan, the dominant figure In
the steel trust, declares that It will not
dissolve, and this means fight for ex-
istence that may continue over sew
eral years. Mr.. Morgan, together with
Andrew Carnegie, may be said to have
been responsible for the formation of
the trust. Mr. Morgan had the money
power, and Mr.. Carnegie owned steel

ton possible and for which he received
some $400,0O0,O00.

In statement intended to reassure
stockholders the Steel corporation de-
clares that the trial will establish the
following facts: That in the organlza-
ton of the United States Steel corpo-
ration those in charge had no intention
of creating n monopoly or of restrain
ing trade; that the corporation never
has had or attempted to exercise mo
nopoly or to restrain trade; that the
conduct of the affairs of the corpora
ton has clearly and positively mega
tived any effort or intention to violate
any provision OF the Sherman law;
that the existence of the corporation
has been of benefit. and not of injury,
to its employees, its customers, its com
petitors and the general public.
First Battle Due Dec. 4.
The first step in the legal battle will
be taken on Monday, Dec. 4, before
the United States circuit court at
Trenton, n. j., when the subpoenas
are returnable. On Jan. ., 1912, the
corporation is expected to file its an-
swer to the charges. Legal maneuvers
of which the corporations lawyers
may avail themselves may postpone
the date of their answer, for they
have the right to ask the court to give
thirty days more grace. thus extend
ing their time to Feb. 2.
