LAYS BARE TRUST SECRETS
Startling Revelations Made by John W.
Gates Before Steel Trust lnvesti-
eating Committee.

Washington.-John w. Gates, under
oath. on Saturday. laid bare before
the Stanley steel trust investigating
committee these startling facts con-
corning the steel trust and the steel
industry of the omitted States:
The steel trust was born at an all
night meeting at the home of ]. p.
Morgan in New York and had its in
SEPARATION in threats by Andrew Car
negie to go into railroad construction
and steel tube manufacture.
Carnegie had been a demoralizing in
fiuence in the steel industry and 1t
was feared he would become trouble
some in the railroad business.
Carnegie was paid s32O,OOO,O00 in
bonds for his controlling interest in
the Carnegie Steel company. for which
he had given an option one year be-
fore, for SLIGO. 100000 Incidentally he
pocketed the $1.OOO,O0O option forfeit
posted by w. H. Moore and C. H..
Prick.
The Tennessee Coal and Iron com
pany was acquired by the steel cor
poration after a squeeze of the syndi-
cate controlling the majority stock
without the transfer OF a dollar in
cash J. Pierpont Morgan and his
partner. George w. Perkins, arranged
the shifting of securities. The ma
jority stockholders in the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company received about
500 value in steel corporation securi-
ties for the stock which they had re.
fused to sell to Morgan a year before
for $3.50 per share.
Gates made it quite clear that the
acquisition of Tennessee Coal and Iron
by the steel trust was by no means an
altruistic effort to prevent the spread
of the panic of 1907. as has been re
peatedly asserted. That was mere
blind, he asserted. Morgan wanted
Tennessee Coal and and Iron. regard
ing the time as propitious, he applied
the screws, according to Gates.
A year before Morgan tried to bu,
stock in the concern, Gates charges
and was turned down.
The steel corporation cannot con
troll the steel industry in the Unite'
States. according to Mr. Gates, excep
, in special lines. Arbitrary abuse an

would enable the steel strust to crus

COURT DISSOLVES
TOBACCO TRUST
BOTH THE GOVERNMENT AND
THE TRUST WIN IN cELE-
DRAFTED CASE.
Government Obtains Dissolution OF
Offender Against Sherman Law,
But Tobacco Company is Al
lowed to Reorganlze and Point
Way to Other Combines.

Washington.-In the long-awaited
decision in the case of the Tobacco
trust, which was rendered by Chief
Justice White in the supreme court
Monday afternoon, the government
obtains an order for the dissolution Of
the concern, which is held to be a
combination In restraint of interstate
trade, and the trust obtains opportu-
nifty to reorganize under the imme-
date supervision Of the circuit court
Of the Second New York district so
that there may be recreated, "out of
the elements now comprising it (the
trust) a new condition which shall be
honestly in harmony with and not re-
pugnant to the law"
Thus both the government and the
trust win. The government obtains
the dissolution of this particular Of
fender against the Sherman law, but
the Tobacco trust and all the other
big corporations and combinations
which collectively make up what are
usually denominated the interests,
get the very thing they have prayed
for so long and so hard-they get not
merely direction by the supreme
court as to how they may proceed
within the law, but also command
to the circuit court actually to show
them how to reorganize so as to "bt
