A Touch of Black.

The smart little touch of black
which lends a really "Frenchy" look
TO a simply made frock of linen or
crash is easily put on by using twin
bows of black velvet at the throat and
the waist line. These bows, which
are used for joining the fronts of a
high collar and the ends of a stiff
belt. are made of sash width in
black velvet ribbon. but they are not
cumbersome, for instead of being ac-
tually knotted. the two ends are dou-
bled under in pump fashion, shirred
and stayed at the back with a short
piece OF black collar boning. In Or
der to better define the shape of the
bow the lines of shirring may be par

STANLEY PROBER
SAYS STEEL TRUST
RESTRA|NS TRADE
Declares Corporation Con-

they absorbed the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company in 1907 that the Trust
controlled, and desired to control, less
than 60 per cent of the steel business.
Even in making it's profits, the re-
port charges, the Steel Corporation re-
strains competition by concentrating
the greater part of its profits in it's
operations on raw materials and semi
finished products, while confining the
finished product plants to a low profit.
This operates, according to the report,
10 keep the price Of raw materials up
to the advantage of the corporation
and the detriment Of Independent COM
petitors.
The report showed in detail the divi-
dends paid by the subsidiary companies
of the Steel trust during the first nine
years of its existence. The total amount
was $753, 124, 1885,. The fact that the SUBJ
sidiary companies operating in raw
material made greater dividends than
the finished products concerns was cited
to show that the corporations kept up
the price of raw material to embarass
competitors.
"a. voluminous argument in fourteen
sections, to prove the Steel trust a COM
bination in restraint of trade, wes pre-
sented in the conclusions of the report.
One hundred and eighty-one pre-
Viously competing corporations were
concentrated under the control of sim
gle holding security company known as
the United States Steel Corporation"
Companies Now Restrained.
Among these concerns the reports sets
forth ore owning and mining COM
panies row restrained from competition
on the sale of ore; railroads. combined
TO prevent competitions; blast furnace
plarts, the combination Of which has
eliminated competition in the sale of
Zig iron; coal, and coke companies, and
other formerly competing concerns.
Tho greater concerns in the iron and
steel trade, the report said, were ac-
quired at vastly inflated values due to
the superior effect given the merger by
the elimination of the competition of
these companies.
"Other acquisitions were made in re-
lated lines of business" the report
said, "for which no explanation appears
except the visible consequence, the re-
moval of such concerns from the inde-
pendent field"
This was the case. according to the
report. in the absorption of the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Company.
In discussing the corporations con-
troll of ore, the report asserts that in
all. $500, 100000 tons out of a. 49,, $40. .0OC
tons Of available ore in the country is
under the control of the trust.
