ANACOSTIA.

Plans are being made by the MEM
bers Of Anacostia Council, No. 16, Jun
Tor Order Of United American Me-
chanics for a celebration to be held at
the regular meeting Of the order next
Tuesday evening, in the Masonic hall
here. Patriotic exercises will be he'll,
and an appropriate address delivered
by Rev. Samuel W. Graffiin. pastor Of
the Anacostia Methodist Episcopal
Church. The recently elected officers
will be installed at this meeting.
Efforts are again being put forth in
an nedeavor to have assigned to the
eleventh police precinct an officer with
a mtor cycle to prevent the unlawful
speeding OF automobiles and motor
cycles along the roads here. The officer
recently assigned Is said to be able to
cover the ground only partly. due TO
the fact that he rides wheel not
equipped with a motor.
Determined in Its effort to have
the double-track system laid to Con-
gress Heights before the coming win
provement association. at that place,
composed Of w. w. Price. Edward j.
Newcomb and A. E. Mckay. has been
selected to confer again with the rail-
way officials and District Commission
ers in an effort to have this work
started at once. The committee will
call on these officials shortly. 1t is
the general opinion that the hitch is
due to disagreement between the
Commissioners and the railway COM
pany as to the distance the company
is supposed to pave from it's tracks.
The residents are anxious that the
matter be settled at once.
After fight Of several years, the
residents Of Congress Heights have
finally succeeded in inducing the
Washington Gas Light Company to ex-
tend its mains to that suburb, which
work Is now in the course OF construc-
ton. The mains are to be laid along
the principal thoroughfares.
Policeman Charles j. p. Weber yes
terday arrested Frank r. Hagner for
violating the speed law on. the roads
in this vicinity. The police have peen
very active OF late In enforcing this
regulation.
Starter Schemm Of the railway COM
pany, stationed in Anacostia, has re-
ported to the police that a pocketbook
containing So in cash and several re-
ceipts was found in front OF the wait
ing station here.

States Steel Corporation-or steel trust
as 1t is better known-there has been no
definite statement SO far from the De-
partment OF Justice.
Effect on Litigation.
OF particular interest, in view Of its in
fluence on a possible suit by the govern
ment against the steel trust. 10 that part
of the bureaus report dealing with the
influence the United States Steel Corpora
ton has had on the steel business OF the
country. When the great concerns
which now compose the steel corporation
were finally merged, competition between
the concerns was at once eliminated
while enormous profits were made from
the tiotaton of securities, with also an
unparalleled stock of commission to the
underwriting syndicate. which netted
clear profit of about $50. 10000 In cash.
At its formation the United States Steel
Corporation controlled about two-thirds
of the country's production of crude
Steel and from one-half to four-lfths of
the rolled steel products. 1t comprised
ore, coal, limestone, natural gas. railway
and steamship companies, blast furnaces,
steel works. rolling mills. finishing plants
and various other properties. 1t was a
thoroughly integrated concern, from one
to finished products.
Basis Of Competition.
There remained outside the merger.
however. a number OF great companies
of the primary sort, such as Jones &
Laughlin, the Pennsylvania, Cambria.
Lackawanna, Republic and Colorado Fuel
and Iron companies, and numerous con-
Germs of the secondary type-the primary
type having to do with the production
OF the raw materials and the secondary
with the finished products. While over
Swallowed by. the United States Steel
Corporation. these included strong. effi-
cient and growing businesses. furnishing
a basis for vigorous competition.
The steel corporation, despite its great
size, is not exempt from competition to-
day. declares the report Indeed. the
evidence on the whole indicates that
competition in the industry has been
steadily increasing.
But should there come period Of con-
tinued trade depression. the bureau
warns, the steel trust would undoubtedly
increase it's control Of the steel industry
at the expense of the independents. This.
it is said is due to the strategic position
occupied by the corporation-it Is In
class by itself so far as ownership of
railroads for handling its materials Is
concerned: it has a strong position in
water transportation; 1T has control OF
the best coking coal
