decree that not only the United States Steel corporation, but every .ele- ment composing it collectively and in oividually, every constituent and sub sidiary company is illegal, monopoly and attempted monopoly under the sherman antitrust law and should be dissolved, that holding ofsstock in one corporation by another corporation is illegal and that no constituent or sub sidiary concern shall pay dividends to the United States Steel corporation.t
 The magnitude of the alleged profits to the organizers of the branches of the corporation is indicated by the bills declaration that in the National Steel company s5,000,000 of the common stock went to the promoters; in the American Tin Plate company s10 ,000, 900 of commonAstDck, in. the American, Steel Hoop company s5,000,000 and a large amount of American Sheet Steel com pany capital stock is declared to have Sone the same way.
 The government contends the United States Steel corporations capitalization is not less than $600,000.00 in excess of the value of the properties taken over, and that approximately one-half of their earnings were brought about by the power the corporation exerted oyer trade and commerce.
 The governments contention. is that while the capitalization of the sub sidiary concerns Emerged by the J. P. Morgan & Go. syndicate into United States SteeD were inflated, the cor porations- imitation was much worse, It's inflated capitalization exceeding theirs by over 45 per cent

Dickinson Talks

Chicago, October 27.-Former Secretary of War Jacob M. Dickinson, who has acted as special counsel for the govern Inent in preparing the case against the Steel companies. arrived here from Nash Vile today. He said that any attempt to cause a prolonged delay in the hearing Of the action would be fought vigorously by the government.
 "The suit will be pushed through the courts with the utmost speed" he said. There will be no delay of any kind.
 "rhe action of the board of directors of the Steel company in New York yester- day in cancelling certain of it's ore leases was unexpected, as this was one of the objects aimed at in the suit. Under the terms of these leases the Steel company was required to give two years notice of a desire to terminate it's contracts, which would make it impossible for the com pany to vitiate the lease before 1913.
 If the court decrees in favor of the government, it will mean immediate can celaton of the lease. I have been work ing on these cases as special counsel for more than two months, and believe we have all the necessary data to proceed with the hearings.

 STATEMENT ON THE SITUATION

 Northern leases and the reduction of ore freight rates, together with the corpora tIon's announcement of it's position after the meeting of directors on September 26. was evidence of this.
 Though litigation may run it's course, however, il is believed the case will be speedily decided.
 The reason is that the supreme court decision in the Standard oil case has laid down a precedent by which the courts may interpret the law in the present con troversy
 The floor of the stock exchange was a scene of confusion. Long before trading was begun the brokers were damned tightly about the post at which steel stocks were traded in. Orders to sell the stock had poured in over night from owners in every part of the country who were alarmed by the dissolution suit When the gong was sounded to announce the opening of the market, such a din was made by the shouting, struggling traders that 1t was impossible for some minutes to learn the course of the mar ket
 The first block of 2s000 shares was enc of the largest ever recorded in steel stocks. although 1t was exceeded twice last month when the market was de. moralzed by liquida ton of this stock or the present holders, who feared the gov

At no time during the early trading did it reach the low figure of last month which was 519s. Trading in the preferred stock and the per cent sinking fund Londs was also heavy. The preferred after breaking 59s. rallied points. The bonds opened with a block of 10000 at 1Oos4, a decline of IF. The general mar ket was upset by the excited trading in the steel securities. Union Pacific, Read ing. Lehigh Valley and the other spec ulative favorites were the heaviest ios- CTS, although declines in few cases ex- ceeded 2 points. Liquidation in these stocks, however was much lighter and the market soon grew quieter with ral- lies of a point so frequent among the railroad issues.
 Service of copies of the bill in equity continued during the day. United States Marshal Helnekel served Andrew Car negie at his home on Fifth avenue. John D. Rockefeller, 1t is expected, will be served tomorrow at his home at Pocanti- co Hills.

 dite the trial of the steel case The government views is that the courts stock holdings and inter-holdings can be applied to the Steel corporation.
 It Giant Trust
 The governments purpose is to show the Steel corporation is only giant trust to hold at least d dozen others The bill charges that the Federal Steel company, the Carnegie company of New Jersey, the American Steel and Wire company of New Jersey, the National Tube, the National Steel company American Tin Pate company, American Steel Hoop company American Sheet Steel company and others are Illegal trusts among themselves and combina- tions to monopolize trade. The govern ment asks that all these companies be dissolved and set back into the in- tegral units of which they were formed even before the organization of the United States Steel corporation. In this respect the petition is complete.
 The beginning of the civil suit raises the question of criminal prosecution of those who were active in the forma- tion of the corporation. There are said to be grave doubts whether q crim- inal prosecution could be successful.
 Departmental officials think the two vulnerable points in the Steel trust organization are the Great Northeru ore lease and It's ownership of the Ten hessee Coal and Iron company Ofi- cials of the Steel corporation evident ly realized this but government off, cials declared the fact that the cor poration's directors have voted to ab- rogate the ore lease is of no practical effect because, even so, the lease will rot terminate until 1915. It has been reported, too, that the Steel corpora ton was preparing to rid itself of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, but whether that Is so or not the depart ment of justice has no advices. Government Case Complete Departmental officials consider the governments case as complete. If the case is fought through the supreme court of the United States 1t Is esti- mated that a final decision might be had within two years.
 Combinations within combinations, pools within pools, agreements both written and unwritten to fix prices and stifle competition, are alleged in minute detail in the suit of the government | which attempts to show the alleged trust has worked itself into vertible Gibraltar.
