ASSOCIATION ONLY
EXCHANGE VIEWS

BRUSSELS, July s.-Plans for the
formation Of an international steel
trust are said to have been discussed
to-day at a secret session OF the in
ternational steel congress. The pro-
ceedings are to be made public at
the close of congress, according to the
secretary Charles M. Schwab when
seen after the conference denied that
the congress was concerned with the
formation of trust.
The association was formed sole
~ to study and exchange Views on
better methods of production and the
logical outcome OF changed condi-
tons in the trade" he said. II be-
lieee the scheme has great general
vantages-perhaps II may be even
Utopian In Its conception.
Il admit Judge Gary's present at
titude surprises his old friends who
remember him as president OF the
Carnegie Company, but he was con-
verified in America, and convinced in
Brussels by an exchange of views
with the delegates that association
is best for the trade.
II don't believe any government
will desire to check the association.
which is formed merely to prevent
unfair competition In times OF depres-
sion. There Is no Idea Of securing
universal control of prices"

The state department discuss briefly
to-day the allegation that President
TAFT had signed a secret executive
order In 1910 which turned over the
water front OF Controller Bay to the

The department says that there
can be no such thing as a secret
