EXPERT FILES REPORT
Submits Some Interesting Data te
House investigating Committee ir
Which Assertions of Steel Corpora
tion Officials Are Contradicted.

Washington, Feb. 29.-That the con
troll of the vast ore fields of Minnesota
is the basis for the control of Sc
per cent of the steel business of the
country by the United States Steel
corporation was the conclusion
reached in the report presented to the
Stanley steel investigating committee
by Expert Accountant Farquiar ]
MacRae, who holds the corporation is
q combination in restraint of trade.
After analyzing the books of the
corporation MacRae reached the con.
clusion that the statement of the of.
ncials of the company that it controls
only so per cent of the business was
not true. He took issue with the con.
tention of the steel company officials
that there are billions of tons of ore
In the United States of which the cor
poration controls only so per cent.
The Minnesota tax commission es.
timated that the United States Steel
per cent in 1907 and so per cent in
1909 in Minnesota" said the report.
This Minnesota ore is the basis OF the
steel business as the most available
ore"
This last statement MacRae sup
ported by excerpts from the testimony
of Judge Z. II. Gary and other officials
Of The steel company.
Effect on Ore Control.
"The percentage of ore owned and
controlled by the corporation" the re-
port finds, must be viewed as TO it's
effect, in the light of the conduct and
policy of the corporation. The passive
ownership of large reserves would be
Of no effect upon the steel business
except, of course, the effect of remov-
ing from use part of the available
supply"
In summing up the results of his
Investigation the expert finds:
That j. p. Morgan & Co. received
nearly s70,0O0,O00 profit for organiz-
ing the steel trust.
That the net earnings of the corpora
ton during the first nine years of it's
existence exceeded one billion dollars.
That the corporation controls sub
stantially so per cent of the iron re-
sources of the country.
That It restrains competition by
making the greatest proportion of it's
profit from raw materials, leaving only
q small one for finished products. The
real net earnings on cost are put at
40 per cent.
That the Gary dinners actually re-
strained competition as the result of
agreement to reduce production.
That the real object of acquisition
Of the Tennessee Coal and Iron COM
pany was the controlling of the pos
sibilities Cor competition possessed by
that company.
That specific instances of elimina-
ton of competition are apparent.
That the export business in steel
products Is SO arranged that there is
no competition.
