ments Of Steel Octopus Upon
the Witness Stand.

New York, May 2.--Under cross
examination, Charles NJ. Schwah
continued a witness before the
special commissioner appointed to
hear the testimony in the suit OF
the government to dissolve tha
United States Steel Corporation.
Mr.. Schwab was the first president
of the corporation.
Speaking OF Iiools in the stee'
trade previous CO the formation OF
the Steel Corporation, he said
"We did not want competitors and
any one who even threatened to &c
into rail making, even though on q
small scale. we took in, in order to
control prices,
AS soon as he took the stand Mr.
Schwab asked that his testimony, In
which he admitted that the Car
iegie Steel Company and the Illinois
Steel Company, subsidiaries of the
United States Steel Corporations
were competitors prior to the organ
ization Of the United States com.
pany, be corrected.
Mr. Schwab declared that the
two concerns were not in competi-
ton. This change in his testimony
is unfayorable to the prosecution
since one Of the chief contentious OF
the government is that the organi-
zation of the great Steel Corporation
suppressed competition.
