FAv0RS STEEL TARIFF.
Manufacturer Declares Reduced

Duties Would Be Disastrous.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8-Charles M.
Schwab of Bethlehem, Pa, told the
senate finance committee today that
the Underwood bill rates on larger
steel products would be of most ser.
ious consequence to the steel business
In the eastern states and undertook to
make plain his own attitude.
"On many occasions l have said
that with equal conditions, steel could
be made as cheaply in the Unit I'd
States as in any other country" said
Mr.. Schwab.
"This has been construed into a
statement that steel is made as cheaply
here as elsewhere. l have not said
that and don't say it.
with the same conditions, espec-
tally as regards labor, we ask no pro.
lection, but the labor account weighs
heavily against US; we are only 100
miles from New York and it costs as
much to put our steel there as it does
to bring it from Holland.
II consider the tariff rate necess ary
to the prosperity of the steel business.
Most emphatically I am opposed to
any reduction"
Mr.. Schwab said that without pro.
lection he would want no financial in
terest in the steel business and would
regard as wasted the S35, 600, 900 which
recently he had invetsed in this bust.

Mr.. Schwab said pig iron could be
made In China for $3.50 ton and tn at
he was importing iron from China for
his San Francisco works rather than
ship from Bethlehem, Pa.
Steel rails cost In this country from
@22 to S23 ton and in Germany about
S18 or s19. Mr.. Schwab defended the
seven days q week work In the steel
industry, saying It was the system
throughout the world and that q
change could not be made by any one
manufacturer. He agreed with men,
bers OF the committee that there should
be change and expressed interest in
the experiments to that end.

Her voice broke, and with one last
gesture OF appeal she flung herself
into chair and covered her face with
her hands.

aching with sympathy for her, l stood

heart bids you and tell me every

She drew long decD breath and
gently freed herself from my encir-
cling arms and, facing NE, looked at
me with firm resolution written all
over her lOvcly face.
You must do what I tell you. I

She must have known it.

all claims of friendship and Of service,
even disregarding the still stronger
claims OF honest love, entitled me TO
far different treatment.
Yet even in the burst Of anger that
overwhelmed me there was not a
single thought Of harshness toward
Louise. I felt that il I could but see
her she would explain everything sat-
isfactorily. II was toward Crandalt
that all my wrath was directed. Feel.
ing as I did, sure that he was respon-
sible for katharine'S attempted sui

l feared that his visit to the house

malign influence had persuaded her

course Of action. LOuise's strange re-
quest to me over the telephone must
have been made because she was dom

she was afraid that still greater evil
