The steel industry was hammered from
three angles. Herbert Knox Smith, Com
missioner Of Corporations, made second
report Ia the President, I'm which he de-
clared that the profits of the United states
Steel Corporation were excessive; James
A. Farrell. president OF that corporation
was vigorously examined by the Stanley IN
y,stigating committee. and the Democratic
members Of the Ways and Means commit
tee agreed on a steel revision bill that VIII
cut the present duties on steel and iron q"
to - per cent.
Steel came out second best all alonS the
lire. President Farrell was forced To con-
sent To turn over the cost sheets OF Inc
corporation TO expert accountants ot the
committee, as Chairman stanley threatened
summary proceedings unless the demands
OF the committee were complied with.
The Democratic steel bill maks sweep
ins reductions I'm existing duties, ana luts
iron ore. hoop and band iron, wire fencihS'
nails. horscshoes and various other articles
on the free list.
The supplementary report of Commits
sioner Smith Is more radical than MS io'-
mer report. the Commissioner going so lar
as to recommend the segregation OF the
great railroad holdings OF the corporation
from the corporation itself
"Mr Smith hnds that the United state"
Steel Corporation has been making cNces-
sIye profits on its ore holdings. These
profits. he reports, are not based on compel-
tive conditions. but on agreements among
large interests holding ore properties
