WITNESS IN STEEL
HEARING BOTHERED
BY SHORT MEMORY
Successor to Tin Plate King
Remembers Little of Form
ing of Trust

NEW YORK. Nav 13.-Daniel G. Reid,
known in financial circles as the sue
cessor to Leeds, the tin plate king, was
the first witness today when the taking
of testimony in the Governments suit
for the dissolution of the Steel Corpora
tion enters its second week. When the
hearings were resumed John A. Brown,
son of Henry P. Brown, acted as COM
missioner In charge of the examination
in place Of his father Reid was asked
by Jacob M. Dickinson as to his busi-
ness relations.
A clash between the attorneys followed
the first question. Despite his known
position in the business and financial
worlds, Reid replied by merely giving
his position of chairman Of the Rock
Island railroad board. He was asked
II he held steel stock and replied that
he did. Dickinson wanted to know how
much. and Attorney Hndabury, for the
Steel trust, objected. Lindabury held
that It would be sufficient to say wheth-
er the holdings were large or small.
Dickinson insisted upon a more definite
answer and Commissioner Brown up
held him; Thereupon Reid refused to
answer the question.
Reid's memory bothered him. He was
asked II he had exchanged tin plate and
steel stock and upon what basis. He
admitted the exchange, but could not
Continuing, Reid said that he was the
treasurer and organizer of the tin plate
company of Indiana. He also organized
the tin plate company Of New Jersey.
He was interested in the merger when
ffty-two companies were taken into the
organization and was president of the
corporation until II was taken over by
the Steel Corporation.
About this point in the examination
Reid appeared to be suffering from an
almost complete loss Of memory. Dick
inson asked him question after question,
only TO be answered IT do not remem-
ber". He admitted that there had been
competition between the fifty-two that
went into the merger previous to the
time of the reorganization. Before that
time he said the tnplate men met In
Pittsburgh only once a year and then
only TO agree upon scale of prices. He
said that he had never heard of pools
until after the merger.
When Dickinson wanted to get real
particulars and whenever he did, Reid
lost his memory. He could not remem-
ber whether the merger had taken in
200 or 300 mills when the fifty-two COM
panies organized, he could not remem-
Der whether the companies organizing
were paid on the valuation OF their
stock or on what basis they were paid.
He did not remember whether any of
the companies received any cash or
were paid all in stock and he did not
remember who the underwriters were.
He admitted that he was one of the
signers to the organization agreement
He did remember that the organization
was handled bv the firm of j. p. Nor
gan & Co.
