 Washington The Hocse Steel Trust Investigating committee has made public the result of the inquiry into the books and minutes of the United States Steel Corporation conducted by Farquhar J. McRae an expert &C., countant.
 The McRae report reaches the con- clusion that the steel corporation oper- ates in restraint of trade and prevents competition through a manipulation of prices, through the influence of the so-called Gary dinners" by control of interlocking directors in various companies. It also tends to contra dict some of the testimony given by steel trust officials.
 Some of the figures dealt with i'll the report are startling. It is shown that J. P. Morgan & Co. received ap- proximately $7O,O00,O00 in cash profits for organizing the big steel combine. and that the net profits of the concern for the first nine years of it's existence were more than S1 100000.
