STEEL
STOCK IS
WATERED
Minority Members of Stan
ley Committee in Congress
Favor United States Reg
ulation; Ask Three Shifts
and Eight Hours.

Washington, D. c., July ga rec
ommendation favoring the leganzation
and regulation of big Industrial con-
Germs instead of their dissolution is to
be submitted to the house in a report
by three republican members of the
Stanley steel investigating committee.
The report was signed by Repre-
sentatfves Gardner of MASSACHUSETTS,
Young of Michigan. and Danforth Of
New York.
Representative Young submitted an
additional statement. and Representa-
tive Sterling of Illinois. who believes
in dissolving the big combinations.
will submit a separate report.
Finds $7OO,O00,OOO Water.
The report OF the minority thus
summarizes it's findings on the steel
trust:
The corporation was capitalized
! at s1,400, 100000 of which nearly
| one-half was water"
| The average annual earnings of
the corporation have been from IL
| to IL per cent on the actual value
of it's assets.
The corporation controls a lit
tie over one-half the crude and
| finished steel business of the
United States.
The average wholesale price of
steel products has fallen off since
| the corporation was organized.
/ The corporation and all the in
dependents have an understand
ing as to prices.
/ The system of interlocking d.
| rectorates has insidious conse-
quences and facilitates inside
management" and the sitting of
competition.
The situation as to iron ore sup
| ply is grave and may become men,
acing.
| Labor conditions in certain de-
partments of the steel industry
| are bad.
Remedies Advanced.
Recommendations for the cure OF
trust evils. made by the republican
minority of the Stanley steel trust In.
vestigatipg committee. are as follows

And like a very hgress, too, agile.
swift as an arrow, she glided to where
the little flames beckoned and held

paper writhed and curled as the fire
caught It adroitly.
