Economic Project"
(National News Association


NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The birth of
the steel trust, the greatest and most
powerful combination of capital and
industry in the world, was described
before the Stanley congressional COM
mittee today by Charles NJ. Schwab.
who was the first president of the u.
s. Steel corporation, and is now presi-
dent of the Bethlehem steel corpora
ton. He seized the opportunity at the
outset to assert that the trust was not
organized to stifle production or main
tain high prices. Throughout his story
it was apparent that he wanted share
Of the credit for the work of organiz-
ing the concern. He was questioned
only occasionally by Chairman Stanley
as he told his story. After the con-
gresham wanted to know what share
J. p. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie and
the witness had in it's organization,
Schwab told of dinner in 1909 at
which the leading steel magnates of
the country were present.
In a speech" said the witness. 81
suggested that instead of a number OF
companies manufacturing steel there
should be one company which would
do 1t all. That was not with a view to
limiting production or maintaining
prices but to make capital invested
much more profitable by making the
cost Of distribution more reasonable
1t was ell with the idea to be economi.
CAL"
Talks With Carnegie.
"A few days after the dinner" con.
tinued Mr.. Schwab, II received a re.
quest to meet Mr. Morgan in Philadel
phia. l met him there and then met
him again at his home in this city with
John w. Gates as a member Of the
party. The discussion of steel condi
tions was gone over again and finally
Mr.. Morgan asked me If l would see
Mr.. Carnegie and ask him if he would
sell his steel interests.
"Mr. Morgan seemed to think favor
+, ably of my view on economics and
that it could be applied to advantage
in steel conditions. told him that
would see Mr.. Carnegie and l did see
him. reminded Mr.. Carnegie thai
he was an old man and that he had
wide philanthropic aims. and l asked
him to sell his interests"
Mr.. Schwab pointed a finger al
Chairman Stanley and said: II want
to tell you that MIR. Carnegie decided
to sell with much reluctance, and
believe that after he sold his interest
he felt sorry that he had. had moth
ing else to do with the afafirs of the
U. s. Steel corporation. am the
president of the Bethlehem steel cor
poration and it has nothing to do with
the other company"
do you believe in fixing prices?'
asked Mr.. Stanley.
| Il don't believe in restrictions o.
trade, and l don't believe in trusts,
answered Schwab. Il told Mr.. Mar
gan and others that my idea for the
betterment of trade was in putting
forth economics. l don't believe il
Restricting an output. If there are
100 companies in an industry and 3;
output, keeping up prices think tha
is not proper and absolutely unjust
That Is my idea of a trust"

by the United States and other for

that Japan is mobilizing an expedi-

is imminent after desperate fighting,
that the Chinese emperor and the
dowager empress have fed from Pc
kin, and that 1900 Manchus are pre-
pairing there to make last desper-
ate stand in the Forbidden City, are
believed to have convinced the pow
ers that the final break up of the
Manchu dynasty is at hand, and that
troops are needed to protect the
lives and property of foreigners in
China
Marine already landed from Amer
lean German and British warships
at Nanking, with the Japanese forces
already in Manchuria, are expected
to be sufficient to protect foreigners
for the present.

course the United States will pursue

partment but unofficial reports are
that no time will be lost by the
American, German and British gov
ernments to throw such force into
China will be amply sufficient to
guarantee the safety of their citi-
