Schwab Says Cut In Steel Tariff VIII
Ruin His Business.

Washington, Feb s.-CharIes NJ.
| Schwab Of Bethlehem, Pa, told the
senate finance committee today that
I the Underwood bill rates on larger
steel products would be of most Sc
rious 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 United States
as in any other country, said MT
Schwab. This has been construed
into a statement that steel is made as
cheaply here as elsewhere. That I
have not said and l do not say.
With the same conditions, especial
ly with labor as cheap, We ask no pro-
lection but the labor account weighs
heavily against US. Though we are
only one hundred miles from New
York, it costs as much to put our steel
there as it does to bring it from Hol-
land.
q consider the present tariff rates
necessary to prosperity of the steel
business. Most emphatically, 1 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 $35, 1000, 600
which recently had been invested in
his business.
ment of my fortune, / have never
taken a penny out of the industry and
have never paid dividend and if the
proposed tariff is to be the law, re-
peat that l shall cash in said SchWab
in closing his general statement Mr..
Schwab admitted he got less for the
steel exported than for that sold here.
lat times we even sell abroad at
a loss he said, because the average
cost of a large production is less than
that of a small production; it is nee
essary to maintain the output to keep
the machines going all the time"
Mr.. Schwab said pig iron could be
made in China for $3.50 ton and that
he was importing iron from China for
his San Francisco works rather than
ship from Bethlehem.
Steel rails cost in this country from
$22 to $23 a ton and in Germany
about SIS or $19. Mr.. Schwab de-
Tended the seven days a week system
of work in the steel industry, saying It
was the system throughout the world
and that change could not be made
by any one manufacturer.
He agreed with members of the
Committee that there should be a
change and expressed interest in an
experiment now in progress to that
end.

in the Tobacco issues, the movement was
not wide; pressure became more severe

American Tobacco fluctuated in erratic

Chesapeake and Ohio made sudden
upward squirt of 1ss but did not hold.

ACTING IN UNISON.



I'm reply to your note of the 31st
ultino, requesting information as TO
the attitude of the government OF the
United States with regard to condi-
lions in China, I have the honor to
state that since the beginning or th9
present disturbances this government
has from time to time as occasion arose
exchanged views with the other inter
ested powersEparticularly France, Great
Britain, Italy, Japan and Russia, as
well as the imper1al German govern
Yneut-aS to what course was expedl-
ent for the protection of the common
interests. From these exchanges it has
been quite clear that all the powers
concerned were as one as to the wis
dom of maintaining the pol1cy OF con-
certed action in the circumstances
This unanimity of view found con-
crete expression in the Identical note
presented by the representatives OF
France. Great Britain, Germany, Japan,
prussia and the United States stimuli
taneously to the peace commissioners
at Shanghai on December 20, as well
as in the operative measures taken TOT
the protection of their common inter-
ests throughout China
BY Common Consent.
..rha advices received by this govern
n7ent moreover show that the other
governments concerned have likewise
had similar exchanges OF view ana
that official statements of policy to the
same effect have appeared in the PUBIC
press of various countries
TT is therefore evident to this gov
eminent that all the powers have up to
the present, by common consent, not
only refrained from independent action
and from intervening in China's in
ternaI affairs, but have acted in full
accord with their mutual assurances
that they would respect its integrity
an sovereignty. If, howe yer, contrary TO
all expectations, any further steps
should prove necessary this govern
ment is firm in the conviction that the
policy of concerted action after full
consultation by the powers should and
would be maintained in order to ex-
clude from the beginning all possible
MISUNDERSTANDING
Moreover. this government has felt
it to be a corollary of the policy of
strict neutrality hitherto pursued by
common accord with respect to loans to
China to look with disfavor upon loans
unless assured that such loans would
be of neutral effect as between the con-
tending factions as it has also felt that
the present was an occasion where
there might he invoked with peculiar
appropriateness the principle OF the
| lending governments deterring their
nationals from making loans not ap~
proved as to their broad policy by their
own governments in consultation with
| the other interested powers"

STARTS SPECULATION
Mysterious Visit of British War Secre-
tary to Berlin

Berlin, Feb. S.-Viscount Haldane,
the British secretary of war. accom-
panied by his brother, arrived here to-
day. Ostensibly the visit is purely
private but it is altogether probable
he will take the opportunity of dis
cussing AngIo-German relations with
DR.. Won Bethmann-H ol1weg, imperial
chancellor, and Herr Won Kfderlin-
Warehter, the secretary of state for
foreign affairs, and of learning from
them on what conditions Germany is
inclined to listen to overtureS for their
betterment.
colonial expansion in Africa have for
a long time been under discussion as
subjects in regard to which Great
Britain might indicate her good will
to Germany in a tangible manner.
There have been, hitherto, no negotia-
tions between the two countries re-
garding these points but it is quite pos
sible that conversations will soon be
if the result of Viscount Haldane's in
vestigation during his visit here should
prove favorable.
The London View.
London, Feb. SIN spite of various
rumors as to the purpose of the visit TO
Berlin of Viscount Haldane, secretary
for war, there seems to be little cause
to attach Importance to the event One
rumor had it that he had gone to Ger
many to conduct negotiations in REFER
ence to RESTRICTION OF aT1ldInoHISs an
other said that his visit was connected
with the cession of Walfinch bay in
South Africa to Germany while &C
cording to another his purpose was to
try and secure the pardon of Ber-
trand Stewart, the London lawyer
whose recent sentence to three ana
half years imprisonment by the i'm
periai court at Leipsig for espionage,
has caused much resentment in En-
gland.
There is every reason to believe
however. that Viscount Haldane has
gone to Germany to see friend on
