that l am not of the opinion that the
dissolution of the United States Steel
Corporation into its constituent parts
is an adequate remedy"
You are quite right" said Mr..
Roosevelt
I believe" the chairman continued.
that we must divorce absolutely the
United States Steel Corporation from
every common carrier on the continent
and by law force the common carriers
TO charge the Steel Corporation just
what they charge other people. We
must destroy a rebate which is against
the spirit of the law as well as re-

that he would prevent a director of

from becoming a director of railroads,
and denounced the system of inter

In responding Chairman Stanley re-
ferred to Mr.. Rooseyelt's ardor in be-
half of conservation and discussed the
subject of iron ore as controlled in
this country by the Steel Corporation
and few holders.
Il was firmly convinced" Mr.. Stan

the commissioner of corporations, Her
bert Knox Smith has said, and as Mr..
Schwab declared that there will be no

Germs now have practically all the ore.

that the Tennessee Coal 81 Iron owned

ton of that company by the Steel Cor

of that territory by competitive con-
Germs, you would have considered long
