petitors of the United States steel
corporation, the balance Of its needs
having been supplied by the inter
nationals subsidiary corporation, the
Wisconsin Steel company"
As to the charge of increasing
prices, the International asserts that
instead of increasing them, its in
fluence has been to prevent increases.
It says that although the price of raw
materials has increased more than
80 per cent. its prices were not in
creased until 1908, and then only Z
per cent; and that for 1912, reduc-
tion of 5 per cent was announced last
month.
Finally, the International denies
that any plants purchased by it were
closed or abandoned, but states that
the plants were enlarged, improved
and have employed more men than
ever before.

Talk of Holding Labor Day Celebra-

The Topeka Industrial council is
threatening to take the regular To-

City to join the labor people of that
city in a great celebration-at least,
they will do that if they can not find
a suitable place in Topeka in which to
hold a picnic.
For several years the members of
the labor organizations ard their fam
lies have gone to Vinewood but the
officials have conluded that there is
not room enough out there for the
sports which they would like to pull
off" An attempt was made to get the
fair grounds for the day, but the man
agement refused to allow the merry
makers to run at large on the spot
which will be visited September 11-15
by thousands of people from all over
Kansas. The city parks are leased, it

tive Littleton of New York, Il do not
happen to have it with me but in it he
requested that his telegram to Mr.

he had conferred during that time
with Melville e Stone, general man

he had.
Il had never known Mr.. Stone un-
til the time of that panic Mr.. Thorne
stated. ''I met him then and went to
see him practically every day. 1 in
sisted that the Trust Company of
America was solvent and that the ex-
aminers who looked into the condition
of the company should make a report.
It was my idea if the report showed
the company solvent we would be TAX
en- care Of.
Were you endeavoring to have
knowledge of your condition wide
spread ?"
MY idea in talking to Mr.. Stone
was to urge the necessity of the ex-
amining COMMITTEES making a report to

the situation got to Mr.. Morgan we
