 Written Statement
 MT. Carnegie, in the written state ment given some time ago to the com mittee. described certain faets lihpair ing the business, notably those of oil, steel and chemicals. Even now a gi- gantic railway system embracing near ly a half of the worlds railway mle- age has been effected and several re- tail companies have been tried and con yicted under the sherman law, the statement reads and continues;
 We are in transition, and naturally suggestions are numerous and divers for effective compliance with the Sher- man act as interpreted by the supreme court. That is satisfactory, but 1t will become involved. It goes no further than actually necessary to prevent monopoly. These two uncomfortable evils prevented, the government, and the courts may well rest from further action until experience dictates any modification. There is no cause al present for either alarm or haste on the part of the court, or producer or consumer whose interests will become mutuallzed wherever freedom of trade from monopoly are established. Moth ing revolutionary is required"
 Continuing the story of his life, MT. Carnegie said that during the Civil war he suffered a sunstroke and was ordered to spend his summers in a cooler climate. 'I went to my native land of Scotland and there l watched the Bessemer process of making steel" he said There I met MT. Dodge, who invented a patent for hardening the face of steel l purchased the pat ent and brought MT Dodge to Pfttsburs where we built a furnace and made the first hard surface rails in this coun- try"
 Witness referred "to that great me- chanical genius, Charles Schwab" as the "greatest man in his line" lie said he suggested to Schwab that he test a process for making ore in open hearth furnaces and then build an open hearth furnace. Witness said "Charlie would try" and he added 1t was not more than a week later he came to his office in New York and laid before him plans for eight magnificent open hearth furnaces.
 We sold open hearth steel for s5 a ton more than other steel witness said.
 He said that in the open hearth mills at Homestead, the committee would find no restraint of trade. Witness fre- quently pounded the table with his hand. Why" said he. we were go- ing to build al Conneaut, ohio an enor- nous tube mill that would have aston ished the world and outdistanced com petition. That's where Charlie Schwab comes in again. He told mo he was satisfied he had plan whereby we could build a tube mill that would save SIG d ton.

HOME MERCHANT WOULD
FIND SYSTEM A GREAT AID.
A Proper Display Of Goods Will Often
Induce skepticaI Customers
to Purchase.

One thing which always will be rec
| ognized by future generations as being
| closely identified with the life of the
| twentieth century is system. System
/ attic operation of business enterprises
has reached the very height of perfec-
| ton Thousands of dollars are saved
and concerns made rich by cultivating
an attention to details. The small
things are Il reflection of the large.
When one. of the biggest corporations
| in the world inaugurated system into
its orgariza ton it focused it's attention
first on such items as pencils, ink, rub
Ders, paper. pens. etc. Pencils natu-
rally are furnished to every employee
who has necG for them during bust
ness hours. but a new pencil cannot
now be obtained until the stump of the
old one has been returned within a
reasonable length of time. This con-
Germ through this operation saves over
$1,000 yearly. OF course, as mention
ed before, this is one of the largest
concerns in the world and consequent
ly uses large quantities Of pencils for
llS numerous employees.
Right in your own town you will find
system among the assets of some of
your neighbors Perhaps they haven't
been as thorough in their small way
as the big corporation just spoken of,
but even little works toward an i'm
provement of conditions.
If home merchants adopted system
in the running of their businesses
much more could be accomplished than
at present. Perhaps saving of time
could be made in the deliveries of or
ders or in the making of change by
more convenient arrangement than
now In use. BY some simple device
you yourself would benefit and you
would please customers by your thor
ough businesslike method.
System should invariably be incorpo-
rated into the dressing Of window,
for variety In the display Of goods at
certain periods each day or at least three
times week should be utilized in the
decoration Of your show windows.
Then a careful study for effect
should be made, especially If you are
holding sale on some one article, the
price OF which should be conspicuous
" shown. The stores Of the big cities
spend hundreds Of thousands yearly in
window display. Each day they rear
range the goods they offer in such a
manner that it is delight merely to
gaze into the window in passing. The
seasons should always be taken into
consideration. The coming Of fail,
winter, summer or spring should be
anticipated by a few weeks by a dis
play Of seasonal goods.
