The fundamental causes for the forms-

which gave rise 10 the earlier consolida-

Of competition. integration and stock in

And further along he says:
1t is evident, therefore. that, both from
the point of view of the iron and steel

there was a great inducement 20 avert
the outbreak Of violent competition be-

might have meant the sudden end OF the

Tracing the financial manipulation OF

Commissioner, arrives a. the following
conclusion:
