Washington, D. c.. Oct. 27.-Now
that the Governments suit to dis
solve the United States Steel corpo-
ration has been started there will be
no slow movements in the battle.
With the bill for dissolution filed at
Trenton yesterday Attorney General
Wickersham filed "A Certificate of
Public Importance" asking that the
case be heard by a bench of four JUS
tices and with expedition. The steel
corporation has four months to file its
answer to the governments allega-
ton that it is "a dozen trusts within q
trust, "a menace to the nation" and
practically the most complete monop-
oily ever perfected in this country
but through demurragers the case
may be longer delayed The Govern
ment's purpose is to show that the
Steel corporation is only a giant trust
to hold at least a dozen others and
the government asks that all these al
legged minor trusts be dissolved.

The NJ. J. Epley Lumber Company
began business about twelve months
ago, on a small scale, but the business
has rapidly increased until it is now
no small industry and gives employ
ment to a number of men. The bust
ness is showing a healthy increase
every month and with the increased
building activity in the city and the
better facilities that will be had for
handling the trade, when the planer
is put in operation, the volume OF
trade will no doubt tax the capacity
of the plant.
