HOW TRUST MADE
PRICE UNIFORM
GOVERNMENTS SUIT AGAINST
SUGAR TRUST is BEING
HARD FOUGHT.

New York, May IA, - When the
hearing in the governments suit to
dissolve the United States Steel Cor
poration was resumed today, James T.
Mcfarland, a tin plate jobber Of North
Philadelphia, was called in support
of The governments contention that
the American Tin Place company sup
pressed competition.
Mcfarland said he had handled
many special private brands, which he
was forced to assign to the American
Tin Plate company in 1899, with a
stipulation that he would not buy his
tin plate elsewhere
According to a letter from the tin
plate company to his firm, which the
witnessed identified it was the trust S
purpose to protect this company in
the exclusive manufacture of plate. "
Later, he said, the American Tin
Plate company arranged with jobbers
whereby the company offered rebates
on conditions that jobbers purchase
their tin plate exclusively from it.
Howard NJ. Davis of Philadelphia,
formerly sales manager of the Amer
lean Tin Plate company, testiged as
an expert on conditions in the indus
try at the time D. G Reid and Will
liam II. Moore brought about the big
consolidation under the control of the
American Tin Plate company of New
Jersey. He said 80 per cent of the
ind
bination.
. Davis said he represented the Am
erican Tin Plate company and the
American Sheet Steel company at
meetings on tin plate and sheet steel
manufacturers came to understand
ings on prices"
'FWe would discuss whether prices
should be advanced or lowered he
said. Somebody would say = think
III sdvance mine So ton,' and others
would say L don't think I'll change
mine at all. "
WAS there a general understand
ing when the meeting adjourned as to
whether you would all quote the
same price," interrupted Judge Dick
inson.
Yes, we usually expected to stick
to that price and expected the others
to. but frequently they didn't"
Then what happened?'
the offender would be investigated
by the chairman of the meeting and
another meeting would be called, The
offender would be asked about it and
he would usually say 4 made mis-
take or it was an error of my sales
man. Then he would promise that it
would not happen again and we'd all
90 away with another understanding" )"

ers build the ships. Likewise. the cost OF
operating a ship under the American
standard of wages for seamen is so much
larger that it is useless TO think about
competition with foreign carriers for in
ternatiOnal business. Furthermore, il Is
contended. the tariff has enabled the
American capitalist to earn so much
more on his investments al home than
he could on ships at sea that he finds no
attraction TO put his money into ships
instead Of factories, mines and railroads.
Many of these premises are admitted by
the advocates of a rehabilitated merchant
marine. also they nearly all absolve the
tariff from responsibility. They say that
the tariff built up great industries at
home. and that it's twin sister, ship SUBJ
sidy will do likewise on the sea.

House within a week. The last volume of
testimony before the committee arrived at

Leaders of the majority in the House

in report as soon practicable. 1t

the hearings were brought to a close
sooner than expected. Witnesses who had
come many miles to testify in rebuttal OF
anti-beat-sugar testimony were denied
hearings. This was done to save time
Two reports will come from the COM

be that Rixey is not a criminal, he never

Rixey escaped a trial by being declared

tives Fordney, Ata;by and Hines VIII pre-
pare a minority report predicatcd on the
argument that the removal of the duty
on sugar will mean the destruction of the
beet sugar industry, which they believe
will ultimately produce enough sugar In
the United States to beat down the price
to the consumer.
