result of directions issued by the
President himself to Secretary of Com

the information gathered by the hu-
reau will be turned over TO the House
committee now conducting steel
trust inquiry.
The alleged activity of the admin
istration since the House committee
Instituted its inquiry drew from Chair
man Stanley statement in which he
said:
Senator Culberson, myself and
others who have studied this question,
have long harbored the suspicion that
somewhere in the archives OF the gov
ernment there was evidence that
would throw flood of light upon the
acts and doings of the United States
Steel corporation.
The judiciary committee OF the
Senate made the most strenuous ef-
forts TO ascertain these facts at time
when the absorption OF the Tennessee
Coal & Iron Company by the Steel
corporation could hardly have been
called consummated.
"One year ago ! was advised by
Representative Parker of New Jersey.
then chairman of the House judiciary
committee. that neither the President
nor the attorney general favored a
resolution of inquiry into the United
States Steel corporation. When the
resolution to have the department OF
justice advise Congress as to the con-
ditions into which we are now inquir-
ing was favorably reported, the attor-
ney general, with the advice and ap-
proval of the President. SO | am in
formed, flatly refused to furnish this
information on the ground that it was
not compatible with public policy.

luton, although heartily approved by
