in the reports OF the corporation Of

Eighty per cent of the steel pro-
duclne properties OF the country are
dominated by the corporation, the re-
port says, although Il. II. Gary and H..
&C. Frick told the president when
thcy absorbed the Tennessee Coal &
Iron Co. In 1907, that the trust con-
trolled and desired TO control less
than go per cent of the steel bust
ness
The report shows in detail the divi-
dends paid by the subsidiary com
panies OF the steel trust during the
first nine years of its existence. The
total amount was $753,124 ,SS6.53. The
fact that the subsidiary companies
operating In raw material made
greater dividends than the finished
products concerns was cited to show
that the corporation kept the price
of raw material up to the embarrass-
ment of competitors,
