STEEL INDUSTRY
NEEDS NO DUTY
IN FUT IRE
Carnegie Says That Tariff i
Not Necessary
FORGETS IMPORTANT DETAILS
Old Iron Master Owned Majority of
Stock But Was Not an Officer Of
Carnegie Steel Company.

Washington. Jan. 12-Andrew Car
negie when pressed hard yesterday
by members of the House committee
of inquiry into the United States
steel corporation, admitted that he
recommended the appointment of
Philander c. Knox, the present secre-
tary of state, as encouragement in
President McKiney's cabinet in
1901. Mr. Knox having been one of
steel company since 1890, when the
Sherman antitrust law was passed.
Mr. Carnegie has repeatedly told
the committee that he never knew
that the participation OF his company
in the steel plate pool and other like
pools was unlawful, and Representa-
tive McGillicuddy of Maine sought to
show that he recommended Mr..
Knox's appointment to President Nc
Kinley after the former, as counsel
for his company, had left him in ig-
norance of the federal statutes for SO
many years.
Now, Mr.. Carnegie" Mr. McGilli-
cuddy went on, after 10 years ex-
perience with the attorney who
didn't let you know about the laws
you ought to have known, you recon
mended him as a proper and fit man
for Encouragement of the United
States?" yes, ] did" he replied.
But ] object to the form of your
question You ask, After | had ex-
perience,' l had no experience with
Mr.. Knox so far as the corporation
was concerned Mr.. Knox had no Of
fetal relations with me-" About
the same time that Mr.. Knox went
into the presidents cabinet, did his
partner, Mr. Reed, go into the direc-
torate of the United States steel cor
poration?' Mr.. Gillicuddy asked.
Mr.. Reed, appealed to by his client,
replied that he did.
Mr.. Carnegie fatty told the com
mittee that he believed there was no
necessity for a protective tariff on
steel. He said in the infancy of the
industry il was needful, but that in
fancy had been outgrown long ago.
''I have consistently advocated reduc-
ton in the tariff before Congress,
he said, land told President McKin-
ley Just before he went to Buffalo to
make his reciprocity speech in 1901,
that America needed no tariff on
steel. would make no exception OF
needles because that is a great bust
ness and as yet we make more In
this country so far as | know"
Mr.. Carnegie explained that this
country need not fear foreign impor-
tation OF steel in case Of free trade,
When asked II he did not think the
government regulation which he
recommended was bordering danger
ously on socialism, Mr.. Carnegie said
that socialism had no terrors for
him. my motto is" he said, that
all is we'll since all goes better. The
world is growing better every day
] have faith in human nature. That's
what makes me optimistic" Mr.
Carnegie also insisted that the dis
tribution of wealth from the few &c
the many was increasing yearly.

er Treated Him Fairly

Only Time the Papers Ever Supported
Him Was When They Said He was
Bad But No Worse Than the Rest

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator
Lorimer today told the story of his
early life in politics to the Senate
Investigating Committee and talked
at length of his differences with
some of the Chicago newspapers.
The opposition of Fl. Fl. Kohlsaat to
him, he testified, began at the Chica-
go convention that nominated James
G. Blaine for President.
Il was Blaine man and began to
organize the Illinois delegation for
him." said Senator Lorimer. "Mr.
Kohlsaat sent one of his men to tell
me that he had no objection if |
voted for Blaine myself, but that |
must stop working to split the ILL
nois delegation or he would put me
out of public life. | went on Just
the same; we split the convention.
and Blaine was nominated"
Did you ever talk to Mr.. Kohlsaat
about driving you out of the party?"
asked Senator Kern.
Il don't think ] ever talked to him
in my life" replied Mr.. Lorimer
but what happened afterward veri
fed what he said. A newspaper story
came out that | had stolen $4,000
from the Chicago Water Department.
Expert bookkeepers reported | had
turned in every cent collected.
About four lines was printed to that
effect, however, and the impression
was left with many people that | had
stolen the money"
Differences with the late Joseph
Medill, owner of THE Chicago Tri-
bune," he testified, began when Mr..
Medill was said to have been a candi-
date for the United States Senate
Did The Tribune ever support
your asked Senator Kern.
1T did once. II said | was unfit
for office. but that it was no time for
Republicans to quarrel and that

They have opposed me constantly
since 1895"
What was the cause of your quar-
rel with the newspapers. other than
The Tribune'?"
"Medill used to control Republican
affairs pretty much in Cook County,
and when Kohlsaat came in he want
ed to divide the influence | quarrel
led with him because ] would not do
things he wanted me to do"
Senator Lorimer got little oppor-
tunity to testify His counsel took
up all the morning session and most
of the afternoon reading columns of
matter from Chicago newspapers con-
corning political happenings at
Springfield in 1909 while the Legisla-
ture was electing a Senator
