scHWAe MAKES PLEA,
Steel Magnate Says They Will All Go
Busted lf Tariff Is Removed.

u
Washington, Feb. S.-Charles M.
Schwab. of Bethlehem, Pa, told the
senate finance committee today that
the Underwood bill rates on larger
steel products would be of most ser.
ious consequence to the steel business
in the eastern states, and undertook
to make plain his own attitude.
"On many occasions ! have said
that with equal conditions steel could
be made as cheaply in the United
States as in any other country" said
Mr.. Schwab. "This has been con-
strued into a statement that steel is
made as cheaply here as elsewhere
l have not said that, and don't say it.
with the same conditions, especial
ly as regards labor, we ask no protec-
ton; but the labor account weighs
heavily against us. We are only 100
miles from New York, and it costs as
much to put our steel there as it does
to bring it from Holland.
Il consider the tariff rates neces-
sary to the prosperity of the steel
business. Most emphatically am op-
posed to any reduction"
Mr.. SchWab said that without pro-

terest in the steel business, and would
regard as wasted the $35, 100000 which
recently he had invested in this busl-
ness.
IF the proposed tariff is to become
law, I repeat that shall cash in"
said Mr.. Schwab in closing his gen.
eral statement.
Mr.. Schwab admitted that he got
less for the steel exported than for
that sold here.
I'VE even sell abroad at loss at
tines" he said, because the average
cost of large production is less than
that of small production. It is nee
essary to maintain the output to keep
the machines going all the time"
Mr.. Schwab said pig iron could be
made in China for $3.50 ton, and
that he was importing from China for
his San Francisco works rather than
ship from Bethlehem, Pa.
Steel rails cost in this country from
1922 to 1923 ton and in Germany about
S18 or $19.
Mr.. Schwab defended the seven
days week work in the steel indus
try, saying it was the system through
out the world, and that change
could not be made by any one manu-
facturer.
He agreed with members of the
committee that there should be a
change and expressed interest in the
experiments to that end.
