Arraigning Roosevelt.

New light on the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company acquisition by the United
States Steel Corporation is given in the
democratic campaign book just issued.
The book gives at length the means
taken by the Morgan interests to compel
the sale OF the stock OF the Tennessee
company during the panic OF 1907, and
also the methods used to obtain the con-
sent of Col Roosevelt. then President.
to the absorption of the company by the
steel trust. Extracts from the minutes
of meetings of the United States Steel
Corporation and its principal subsidiary.
the Carnegie Steel Company are given TO
corroborate this story.

more than a year and half before the
absorption of the Tennessee company Vice
President Henry B. Bope of the steel
trust had warned the directors that the
open hearth rails made by the Tennessee
company would run the bessemer rails Of
the steel trust off the market In many in
stances. George w. Perkins of New
York. one of Roosevelt's chief supporters
In the present campaign. was at the time
of the absorption a member of the firm
of J. p Morgan & Co, which handled
the transaction, and also chairman of the
finance committee of the steel corpora
