STEEL COMBINES RATES
EXCESSIVE, SAYS OLIVER

WASHINGTON. Dec. l5.-That the
United States Steel corporation has
arbitrarily and unreasonably. main
tanned an excessive railroad rate on
iron ore on its subsidiary railroads
from lake points 10 the Pittsburgh
district. was the charge made by Sen
the Stanley Steel investigating com
mittee today
Senator oliver declared that the SO
cent rate on ore from Conneaut, Ohio,
and Erie to mill points near Pitts
burgh was exorbitant and asserted
that the cost price of carrying ton
OF ore over that distance was about
IS cents. He suggested fifty cents as
a reasonable rate TO allow transpor-
tation lines a fair profit
Under examination with regard TO
Andrew Carnegie and his scheme 10
control the steel Industry by control
ling the railroads which supplied the
Pittsburgh field with Lake Erie ores.
Oliver said
Mr. Carnegie maintained great
part OF his prosperity through his ar
rangements with railroads for secret
rates lower than those paid by his com
perltors. He would not have been able
TO maintain his position in the steel
business without these rates"
oliver discussed at length the
methods OF the steel trust roads in
collecting excessive percentages of

Hindu brother in his Sanskrit usually
preserves the Aryan "p" sound, so he
has from this root "prush." meaning
to burn.
This root of freeze became "freosan'

In Icelandic it became "frjosa," in
Swedish "frysa" and in Danish
