NEW YORK, May 21.-Hearing in the
federal suit to dissolve the United States
Steel Corporation under the Sherman
antitrust law were resumed today with
John c. Langan Of Brooklyn, formerly
private secretary for U. c. Temple, on the
stand. Temple, the witness said, was
commissioner of the Plate Association
and the Structural Steel Association
which were alleged to have been In oper-
alton during the early years of the last
decade.
These associations are held by the gov
ernment to have been illegal pools or
ganized to fix prices and restrain trade
as subsidiaries Of the United States Steel
Corporation. Among the concerns in
the pools, the government contends, was
the Illinois Steel Company, the Carnegie

Today the visitors will be piloted

Page, director of the Office of public
roads Of the United States. will serve as
escort.
Distinguished Guests to Attend.
The French ambassador, NJ. Jusserand;
Lord Montagu. one of the leaders of the
road movement in England and vice
president of the International Road Con-
gress, and representatives of the British
embassy, will attend the dinner. Among
those who will be present are Secretary
Wilson of the Department Of Agricul-
ture, Judge Knapp of the Commerce
Court. NJ L. Cooke, director OF the
department of public works of Phila-
delphia; Daniel Willard, president Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company;
Charles c.. Glover and number OF
members of the Senate and House OF
Representatives.
The dinner is given in expression OF
sense of the courtesies extended by
French officials at the International Road
Congress held in Paris in 1905 and in
Brussels in 1910. 1t also is intended to
bring together those who would promote
the membership of the United States in
the permanent International Commission
Of Road Congresses, now the only nation
among the powers not officially repre-
sented.
The next International Road Congress
will be held in London In 1913. and an
effort will be made to bring the congress
that follows to the United States.
It is q well known fact that France has
the most superb system OF roads In the
world and that England has made some
wonderful experiments in road improve
ment to meet modern traffic conditions.
AS the dinner will bring together many of
the state highway engineers. the United
States probably will gain some knowledge
from the speeches of the distinguished
guests from France and Great Britain. II
is probable that the occasion also will be
utilized by the American Association for
Highway Improvement. the American Au-
tomobile Association and the National
Association of Machinery and Material
Manufacturers to arrive at conclusion
with reference to the time and place for
holding the American Road Congress.
which will be the most important road
convention ever held in the United States.
