SCAND|NAV|ANS TO
SUPPORT TAFT IN
THE XTELECT|ON
College Head Assures Presi
dent His Policies Are
Favored.

President william A. Granville, of Penn
sylyania College. Gettysburg, Pa, him
self a Scandinavian, called to see Presi-
dent Taft and told him that the Scandi-
navtans Of the country would support
him in next years election, just as they
had done in the last campaign.
DR.. Granville is a prominent Lutheran
and Yale alumnus. He presided at
the meeting of the Lutheran synod at
the time it was addressed by the Presi-
dent last week and is a warm friend Of
Mr.. Taft. DR.. Granville said:
II believe car pledge the President
the support of practically every Swede
and Norwegian in this country at the
next election. We like Mr.. Taft and we
favor his policies. He is our choice to
succeed himself, and when the time
comes he will be stronger with us than
he was in the last election.
"hTe Northwest is largely populated
by Scandinavians, and while these peo-
pie frequently elect Democratic gov
ernors of their States, as In Minnesota
rof instance, they can nearly always be
depended upon to support the RepIb-
lican nominee for the Presidency"
President Taft has granted Lorenzo
ment Hospital for the Insane, under
life sentence, an unconditional pardon.
Barnes had been convicted of murder
in Oklahoma, but was found TO be suf-
fering from. insanity. Physicians and
others now declare, however, that he
is cured of his mental disorders, and
the President found II merely an act Of
justice to release him. Barnes will re-
turn to his wife and family in Okla
homa.

the White House this afternoon and bid

GAYLEYDE ESCRIBES

Former Vice President of rust Gives Judge Gary Credit
for Eliminating Ruinous Competition Among
3AAumna Companies.

You were a member, IN the puols?"
Il guess so, but was not personally
participant in the pool said Mr..
nt ITO e whom ,,,S we're ret, the fines paid. and
'I presume they were pro-rated among
those in the pool" was the answer.
Mr.; Gayley was asked If he could

Charles NJ. Schwab probably could give
the committee the information.
! The committee probably will summon
Mr.. Schwab.
To Judge Elbert H. Gary the witness
| accorded the credit for eliminating de-
structive competition.
II had been brought up in different
school," said Mr.. Gayley. Il was used
to keen competition. to price slashlng.
If the market was off. we had been
accustomed to cut prices to keep our
mills busy.
Gary Opposed to Slashing.
Judge Gary had different views He
did not think 1t was for the good of
the industry to slash prices. We used
10 talk over these problems at our
lunch hours. after the formation of the

Gary. But finally began to see that
Judge Gary's position was a sound
one; Conditions had changed. We
could not obtain ore as easily as in the
old days. The ore fields were in pos
session Of the different companies,
many of them the independents.
Judge Gary announced that the
United States Steel Corporation would
maintain prices. regardless Of the mar
ket conditions
After awhile Judge Gary, at one of
the Gary dinners, so impressed the
steel men that they came 10 Mr.. Gary's
yiewpoint-that keen competition and
of the industry. At the dinner in No
vember, 1907, / think. those interested
in the United States Steel agreed that
We would maintain our prices"
No Personal knowledge.
Representative Gardner by a series of
questions. attempted to show that there
was an apportionment agreement be-
tween the railroads and the steel manu-
factUers, and that 50 long as any con-
Germ in the combine held up prices it
was sure of its proportion of rail orders
Mr.. Gayley said he had no personal
knowledge of such an apportionment.
Nevertheless said Representative
Bartlett, "the price of rails has re-
mained at SIS since 1901 and the rail-
roads have made no objection TO the
price?'
That Is right" said the witness
Mr.. GayIey said that he had attended
none of the Gary dinners" since De-
cember. 1908, as he resigned from the
steel corporation in that month. At the
dinners he attended, Mr.. Gayley said,
definite prices were not named or fixed.
but the general plan of stability of
prices and amicable relations between
steel men were under discussion.
What else did you talk about?' ask |
ed DIR. Young.
I'VE discussed labor conditions, the |
a abolition of Sunday work, and general
business methods. There were three |
Gary dinners in 1905"
The Washington times., 1911-06-13

Throwing additional light upon the
old-tirne pooling agreements, before the
| formation Of the United States Steel
| Corporation, and, according to Judge
Elbert H. Gary, the distinction of hav-
ing fraternized the steel industry by
eliminating ruinous competition, James
Gayley. former vice president Of the
corporation, resumed his testimony be-
fore the House committee investigating
the alleged Steel trust today.
Mr.. Gayley admitted that in the
earlier days of the steel business pool
agreements, with a penalty clause for
violation, had been entered into. MIR.
Gayley, for many years with the Car
negie Company. said that he had no
active interest in the formation of these
pools, but said that he understood that
they existed"
The committee learned more about the
Gary dinners" at which Mr.. Gary was
accustomed to have the steel men
gather to talk over affairs. Mr.. Gayley
said that Judge Gary finally brought
the steel magnates around to his way
of thinkng-that slashing Of prices and
keen competition was not for the good
of the entire industry, and that stab;l-
ity OF prices, regardless of market con-
ditions, was TO be desired.
Ignorant of Agreement.
Can you tell how 1t happens that
all steel manufacturers are agreed that
the price Of SIS is the correct one2"
asked Representative Young. WAS It
by an agreement between the railroads
and the steel manufacturers?"

said Mr.. Gayley. There always has
been a fraternity feeling between steel.
workers ever since the Inception of the
industry. How that affected the price
after the the sudden . drop in prices in 1897
Ibid the railroads ever 'haggle' over
the price of rails after this fraternity
became evident?"
II do not know about that as it was
not in my end Of the business" said
Representative Gardner drew from
the witness the admission that until
the formation of the United States
Steel Corporation in 1901 there was fiuc-

was agreed upon after tina: timer
asked Mr. Young.
Il only know that the price of s2s
was regarded as reasonable by the
steel men and that it was acceptable |
to the railroads. / don't know how the |
agreement was reached answered |
Gayley.
Pools on Prices.
Isn't 1t true" asked Mr.. Young,
that before the formation of the steel |
that steel manufacturers |
were accustomed to get together and |
form pools as to steel prices. and that |
violations Of the pool were punished |
by fnes?"

of victories. Last year. with prob
