Steel Trusts Move Against
Stanley Committee.
MOTION MADE BY COUNSEL
Governments Suit Made the Basis
for Argument.
EXECUTIVE SESSION BEGUN
Members Of Committee Considering
the Matter Behind
Closed Doors.

Richard Y. Lindabury, counsel for the
United States Steel Corporation, made
objection before the Stanley steel trust
investigating committee today to a. contin-
uance Of the hearing, in view of the gov
ernment's suit against the steel corpora
tion. He argued that to continue the
hearing would be against the provisions
OF the resolution of Congress authorizing
inquiry into acts not under investigation
by the government. The committee at
once went into executive session.
After lengthy deliberation it was de-
cided to postpone further consideration
of the objection until the assembling of
the full committee. Chairman Stanley
gave out the following statement: THE
members Of the committee present unani-
Inously decided to reserve final decision
until the assembling of the full COM
mittee. Meanwhile the committee will
proceed to examine the witnesses al
ready summoned to testify on the sub
jects relating to the violations of the
various interstate commerce acts as di-
rec:ed by the resolution of the House."
Three democratic members, Represen-
tatives Stanley, McGillicuddy and Beall,
and two republicans. Danforth and Gard
her. were present when the committee
was called to order. Representative
Littleton arrived later. This constituted
a quorum of the committee.
Future Plans Discussed.
Preliminary to the hearing an executive
session was held. In this conference
future plans of the committee were dis
cussed. Representatives Bartlett, Young
Of Michigan, and Sterling We're absent,
not having arrived in Washington.
The line of inquiry to be taken up. the
alleged ore monopoly and transportation
facilities of the steel trust, were only
lightly touched upon IN the inquiry last
summer, which had it's climax in the tes-
timony Of former President Roosevelt,
who then defended his action in approv
ing the absorption of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company by the steel corpora
ton in much the same manner he did
more recently .editorially.
Members of the. committee let ii he
known that shippers and independent ore
owners will be called to testify that the
charge of SO cents a ton made until
recently for shipping ore from the Min
nesota ore region to the lake over the
steel trust roads, was a hardship. This
rate has now been reduced by the steel
corporation officials in control of the Du-
luth and Iron Range and Duluth, Mesaba
and Northern railroads to 80 cents ton

NEWARK ATHLETICS HAVE A GREAT
THIRD-SACKER in JACK SKELLY
SPALDINC THINKS WELL
OF AMERICAN ATHLETES.

NEW YORK, July 81. W. spaid-
ing, Of the Olympic games COMMITTEES,
who has just returned from witnessing
the English championships, declares
that after comparing the work of the
athletes there and those who SOM
peted in the American championships
It is evident that an American team
could have been sent to the English
meet this year which would have won
every event, with the possible exception
of the four-mile, and with George Bon
bag in good shape America would have
stood an sven chance in that event
also. The four-mile rae was the only
event in the English championship in
which the winners performance was
better than that at Pittsburg.
Mr.. Spalding discussed Olympic games
prospects with representatives Of e
eral countries while abroad. Nearly
all the foreigners. he says. admit that
America, owing to superior all-around
athletic ability and large teams should
win the first honors. Many Of the
foreign countries, however. have indi-
vidual point-winners that will shine in
their respective events.

lands matches with Matt Wells and

The Wells bout, supposedly signed for

George Mcdonald, manager of the
Briton. that Charley White referee the
contest. Mcdonald also wants a change
made in the financial stipulations.
