GRIP OF THE LEATHER TRUST

of 1t all. He wants shoes, boots and
other finished leather goods placed on

be able to get all this at one time,
but We should at least have free
leather as we'll as free hides, and thus
we snail deal with the leather trust

Roosevelt and the Steel Deal.

Mr.. Roosevelt says that when ha
was asked whether he would assent
to the absorption OF the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company by the steel
trust the occasion was one that de-
manded instant action; that timidity
seeks excuses for evading responsible
ity and deferring action. but that
whatever was t0 be done in this
case had to be done instantly. and
he did not.
No one will question the readiness
of Mr.. Roosevelt to assume any re-
sponsibility at any moment and TO act
on the instant. If he does not love
responsibility he is certainly not
afraid of any amount Of it, and he is
to act, and the bigger the occasion the
more he enjoys it.
In this case all that Mr. Roosevelt
knew of the financial situation in New
ork was what he was told by two
representatives of the steel trust,
which would head off rival and get
more than s200.000.000 WORT. of prop
erty for about $4,000, 900, and the sort
of property 1t most needed for estab-
fishing its power over the steel in
dustry of the couutry-coal and ore
deposits. The evidence so far taken
leaves 1t very doubtful whether the
substitution Of steel bonds for Ten
nessee shares stayed the panic, and
not certain that 1t was necessary In
thermore, 1t is important to remem-
Der that the question Mr.. Roosevelt
decided was a judicial question. II
was whether the proposed absorption
would violate the Sherman law.

A visit to New England and visit

who regard upholders of the tariff as
"robber barons." Manufacturers have
hard work to keep body and soul to-
gether, and SO are they pressed for
money that they appeal to their GUS

be denied.
