Hall Of Pittsburg.
Mr.. Gary, replying to question by
Chairman STANLEY denied that the
Steel Corporation had any such plans
in mind. Judge Gary again today
declared that President Roosevelt
and Secretary of State Root, not only
sanctioned the absorption of the Ten
nessee Coal & Iron Co. by the Steel
Corporation but held II To ba neces-
sary To avert II widespread financial
disaster
The connection of J. p. Morgan with
the Tennessee transaction was par
ticulary referred to by Mr. Littleton
and brought about an elaboration of
Mr.. Garys opinion Of Mr.. Morgan and
of his former declaration that govern
ment control of corporations must
come.
Would You endorse law that pro-

any circumstances replied Mr.. Gary
Mr.. Gary further said that the Unit

wanted monopoly of the iron and
steel business OF the country.
How long have YOU been afraid to try
the fun control of the trade?" Chairman

whom from financial failure the steel di-
rector reported to the President the alb

Mr.. Littleton asked about the state
ment OF President Roosevelt in his let
ter to Attorney General Bonaparte that
Mr.. Gary told him that the Steel Cor

Mr.. Gary said the bonds which were
paid for the stock of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Co. came from the Unit

seem most clearly to indicate that she
