The United States Steel corporation
fayed as an enemy of organized la
Dor, accused Of lowering the sociolo-
gical conditions of its employees and
of contributing to American industry
workmen and work methods un-
American and foreign to the best in
terests of labor.
Principal stockholders of the Steel
corporation are accused of exertine a
powerful and injurious influence on
the business of the United States by
means of control exercised through
interlocking directorates of railway
and industrial organizations.
The activity of the corporation in
politics is laid bare and its influence
described. and the steel trust" as a
tariff beneficiary and its part in the
making of the Payne -Aldrich tariff
act are touched upon by the demo-
Gratis.
The committee recommends legis-
lation to cure trust evils and to meet
existing conditions. Ii condemns the
Steel corporation but does not invade
the jurisdiction of the United States
court in which there is now pending
a government suit for its dissolution.
Early In its report the committee
sets forth that 1t would investigate
the United States government were
as If no proceeding on the part of
now pending against said corporation.
but not for the purpose of determin-
ing the questions involved in the ac-
tion brought by the government"
The governments suit is to discover
If the United States Steel corporation
Is lin violation of the Sherma-l anti
trust law"
In summing up its conclusions the
majority report says:
The Conclusion.
The control of corporations by the
ieoeral government, as recommended
py MIR. Carnegie, Judge Gary, and
others, is not approved. Whatever
may be the evil results of the elm
nation of competition from the steel
business, 1t does not justify such a
remedy and could not be cured by it,
Such control. semi -socialistic in its
nature. is beyond the power vested by
the constitution in the federal con-
gress.
The abuses mentioned in this re-
port can in a great measure be rem
edied by giving to the operations of
the United States Steel corporation
and other like corporations the wild
est publicity, and 81 the strict en-
forcement of laws ST .ait'cally inhibit-
ing the employment of cunning de-
vices by which an unfair advantage
over competitors is secured. The
bureau of corporations possesses the
authority to thoroughly Investigate
the internal affairs of industrial con
Germs doini an interstate business.
Had the character of the Steel cor
poratlon and the nature and extent of
Its operations been known to the peo-
pie and to the president of the Unit
ed states at the time of the absorb
ton of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company. it is highly improbable that
the chief executive would in twenty
minutes have given his consent to a
merger fraught with infinite injury

DEMOCRATS ARE
BADLY SCARED
Sentiment in House Growing
in Favor of Preserving
Naval Standing.

Washington, Aug. ALARMED. a,
the growing strength of the two bat
tleship proponents in the house, dem
ocratic leaders issued a call for still
another caucus on the naval appro-
priation bill which will be held mex,
Tuesday night. It was generally ac-
cepted that at least one battleshi j
will be provided for, in view of the
firm attitude Of the battleship cham
pions:
Representative Sulzer Of New York,
who is leading the fight for two ships,
announced that he had thirty-one sig
natures to his petition that the eau
Gus release members from their previ-
GUS no battleship pledges. With the
addition of half dozen more men,
bers. Mr.. Sulzer expressed confidence
that his forces would hold the balance
Of power and the matter would be
forced into the open house. In such
an event he said he firmly believed
that. forming coalition with the re-
publicans. two battleships could be
voted into the bill.
Majority Leader Underwood is striv-
ing to prevent the two-ship plan from,
gerald OF the appropriations commit
tee. Their objections are based sole
~ on the question Of economy. but,
recognizing the pressure Of Changing
opinion among members, they are
now Willir.' to- compromise on one
big war vessel.
The naval appropriation measure
will be brought up in the house again,
when 1t will be sent back to confer
ence to await the caucus action Tues
day.

that the day is coming when 1t will

there is need for municipaly owned

Story of Mrs. Grace Shows the Other
Side of Her Husbands Shooting

Atlanta, Aug. 2.-That the prosecu-
ton had wilfully withheld evidence
IN making the case against Mrs. Daisy
Opie Grace on trial for shooting her
husband, was charged today by the
Woman's counsel. The argument IN
the sensational case will be finished
this afternoon and the jury will retire
to- make up its verdict.
With the gaze of her paralyzed
husband fixed upon her from the pill
low of his cot, Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace
told her story to the jury that is TO
to kill Grace.
Il did not shoot Mr. Grace and he
knows it; as God is my Judge that is
The solemn truth" she exclaimed
dramatically and Grace's lips parted
in sarcastic smile. Mrs. Grace told
her story in calm, even voice with
out pause: She occupied almost an
clusion the defense rested AS she
did not make the statement under
oath. the prosecution was denied the
privilege of cross examination. The
state then put on one or two wit
nesses in rebuttal and rested. Five
hours are to be divided by the two
sides in summing up. The case is
expected to go to the jury about noon
tomorrow.
Efforts OF the prosecution to have
Grace sworn to rebut the statement
or the accused woman did not sue
ceed. Judge Rean ruled that under
the Georgia law a husband was not
competent to testify against his wife.
Mrs. Grace declared in her state
ment that Grace shot himself during
a scuffle with her for possession Of q
pistol with which he was trying to
shoot her. It was not the first time
he had attempted to kill her. she said.
Last summer after she had made her
Will IN his favor at his insistence, she

he would kill her If she did not stop

She said he had beaten her and
choked her frequently.
From the time she made her will
until the day Of the shooting she said
she had given him $4,000 in cash.
Soon after they came to Atlanta last
November Mrs. Grace testified she be.

and when she would say anything to
him about her he would get mad. As
