MEANINGS
TO Be PLACED
On Iowa Election as Many

Progressive Elected.
Rv unlted rreas MIC.

Council Bluffs, IA. June There
are Just as many meanings placed
today on the result of the election OF
Judge w. Il. Green. progressive Re
publican, over w. r. Cleveland, Demo
crat. in the Ninth Iowa district for
the Walter |. Smith seat In congress-
as there are parties. Fun returns
show that Green has about l'i5o
plurality over Cleveland In a district
with a rormal Republican plurality Of
four thousand to eight thousand.
The standpatters and foes Of re-
clproclty say the reduced plurality OF
Green Is singing reputation of
reciprocity az advocated by TAFT The
progressive Republicans say the farm
ers are not strongly opposed TO rect
procity, for fifty per cent. Of them re-
fused to go to the polls at all. Demo-
Gratis claim that both elements of the
Republican party have lost the conf
dence Of the farmers, while the So
ciallsts point with pride to the son
votes received by their candidate as
against 400 at the ilast election.
Many standpat farmers did not
vote because Green Is a progressive
and that was more important to them
than giving a blow TO the Canadian
pact. while Democratic farmers voted
for Green because of their enmity ia
the Canadian agreement.
As a matter of fact the situation
was so complicated with minor Is
sues of many kinds that no clear am

rupted the testimony of Judge Il. IL.
Gary, executive head Of the United
States Steel corporation. and astomd-
ed the Stanley steel investigating com
mittee by quoting Senator oliver of
Pennsylvania, as one authority fur
charges.
Stanley opened the hearing by
questioning Gary as to a recently pub
ished report Of the sale of 1900
acres Of coal i'm the Pittsburg field
for the Plttsburg Coal company, and
the Monongahela Consolidated Coal 4
Cohe company. Gary admitted that
the sale was practically completed

a great deal of coal outside of the

Trusts Holdings.
Stanley ELECTED that the steel trust
owns sixty thousand acres of coal In
the Connellsville field, and that only
3S, 900 acres are owned by indepen-
dents. The corporation also holds
under lease $4,000 acres in the Poca-
hontas coal fields.
Under a fire of questions Gary out
lined the contract by which the Pitts
burg Coal company and the Monon-
gahela company, which is controlled
by the Pittsburg concern, agreed tn
furnish a great part of their output
to the steel corporations.

hundreds of thousands of tons of coal
In that field under the control OF those
companies"
A Sensation.
Then Stanley unloosened his SEN
sation.
THE statement has been made by
a senator OF the United States" he
said, who has personal interest
in the matter, that the Pittsburg Coal
company now controls the Mononga-
hela company; that there is now a
scheme on foot TO exchange the stock
OF these companies for bonds of the
United States Steel corporation with
the inevitable result that the Ohio
river will cease to become a medium
of that great coal traffic, through the
middle west; and that this coal viii
be moved by rail to supply the United
States Steel corporation furnaces at
Gary. Indiana, i'm conjunction with
the inferior coal Of the southern Iii
nois fields"
Gary was slightly ruffed.
THAT senator is certainly laborinu
in error" he said, controlling himself
| with an effort.
Representatives Gardner and Younp
clamored loudly for the name OF tn,
senator, which Stanley declined tC
| furnish.

"Well. tn put the name iu the rec

win be sworn"
Robert c.. Han, Of Piusburg, was
sworn while the committee and spec
tatprs gazed astounded.
Han outlined the financial condi-
tions of the two companies. indlcatign
that the Monongahela was under the

changed for bonds issued on the coal

furnishing coal to che steel corpora
ton at 81 and $1.O7 a ton. The coal
costs $1.24 a ton"
"But this scheme viii not mean

"No, but the control will he better
than ownership, for they viii get this
coal cheaper than they could mine 1t
