fully understand the effects that the
lawiessness and utterly indefensible
act of Theodore Roosevelt had when
he permitted the United States Steel
corporation to absorb the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company. But outside

In no state in this union and in but
few countries are there such swift and
potent measures given TO dissolve a
lawless corporation as are provided in
the organic law of Pennsylvania par
ticularly those set forth in the seventh,
sixteenth and seventeenth articles 1t
can be made an outlaw in twenty four
hours and dissolved in six months
Attorney General Carson's reply to
these business men is classic in the
literature of Big Business. He stated
that "the testimony of mere citizens
has no weight whatever in determin-
ing the course l shall pursue in admin
isterinE the affairs of my office" Get

The alien portion of these coke work
men then sought to have their re-
spective governments interfere to pro-
tect them in their rights and to break
up the system of peonage and swind-
lings encouraged and permitted by the
steel trust. These governments,
through their consuls, made an ex-
hausting investigation and the gist of
their reports to Theodore Roosevelt
was: They were restrained from go
