IN STEEL SUIT
Andrew Carnegie, John ID. Rockefel-
Ter, Edmund Converse and Will
liam Palmer File Answers in
Suit-Appoint Examiner.

Trenton, N. j., Feb. with the
filing today of answers Of the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation, its sub
salaries and Individual defendants
named in the governments suit to
dissolve the corporation because of
alleged violations Of the antitrust
laws, all the defendants concerned
in the case have been heard from.
The next move is for the govern
ment to file replication, after
which the United States court will
appoint an examiner to take evil
dence. Besides the steel CORPORA

who is president of the American
Steel and Wire Company Of New
Jersey, are general denials Of the
allegations of the government.
Mr.. Palmer, in his answer, says
he was president Of the American
Steel and Wire Company when he
sold his stock in the company to the
United States Steel Corporation in
1909 He admits that the sales de-
partment of the American Steel and
Wire Company in July, 1908, entered
into agreements with the Wire
Rope Association, the Rubber Cow
cred Wire Association, the Horse
shoe Manufacturers Association and
four other manufacturers associa-
tions, named in the governments
petition. He states he was told by
the attorneys that the agreements
were legal, but that in 1909, when
the steel corporation learned of
their existence, the American Com
pany withdrew from them at the
request of the steel corporation.
Mr.. Palmer denies that the agree
ments were in restraint of trade or
that they tended to monopolize
commerce, but on the other hand.
were intended to benefit producers
and consumers, inasmuch as they
sought to regulate to reasonable
extent only, production and price.
The iron and steel business, Mr..
Palmer says in his answer, depends
on the law of supply and demand
in The United States and abroad,
and lis largely" regulated by this
law. He further says that the par
lies to these agreements acted as
regulators. preventing excessively
low. ruinous prices and excessively
high prices"

Gasoline has risen 2 cents a gall

tomobile owners estimate the adj
vance means an increase of more
than 100000 a month in the cost
of running the automobiles in the
state of New York.
Since the first of the year there
has been an advance Of two cents
a gallon in the price established by
the Standard Oil Company for Pc
troleum delivered by wagons to
consumers in the city.
The increased cost of conducting
the 80 companies into which the
|oil trust was divided. as compared
with the expense of the compact
Organization which existed under
the old regime, has been advanced
as reason for the rise in price. Ac-
cording to J. I. C. Clark. the mouth

FIGHTING STATE LAW
Spaulding Manufacturing Company
Company Objects TO Paying Ped
dIer's License ia Each County


Little Rock, Feb. 1.-The suit
filed by the Spaulding Manufaetur-
ing Company of Grinnell. Ia, asking
the federal court here TO enjoin all
the state prosecuting attorneys
from proceeding against the COM
pany's agents under the 'peddlers
act of 1909, will be contested to a
finish by the state, although the de-
Tense has nof been outlined yet.
The attorney generals depart
mcnt will naturally assume the de-
tense, inasmuch as the attorney
general is the chief prosecuting at
torney of the state. A copy of the
complaint has not been served on
the legal department up to date,
bat this will probably be done this
week. If is probable that, among
other dcfenses by the state, the con-
lention will be set up that the fed
eral court has no right to interfere
with the enforcement OF a GRIM
inal statute or in carrying out a
criminal proceeding in a state court.
The act Of 1909 referred to makes
il crime for an agent OF a for
eigu concern to come into this
state and sell goods by sample, that
is. as a peddler. without paying q
license of 5000 for each county.

pany has agents in This state selling
