Something About Gary, Schwab, Rob-

Making Industry
BY HOLLAND

New York, June 0-(Special 1.-THE busi-
ness community as whole and especially
that part which is represented by the
manufacturing industries of the United
States, Is inclined to think that the most
momentous question of recent years which
the supreme court at Washington has
been or is to be called upon TO consider is
the one whose answer will be found In its
partment of justice at Washington against
the United States Steel corporation. This
is present question. 1t has been Official
1y asked already by the department of
Justice The preliminary and official pro-
ceedings by means of which competent ev-
idence may be secured upon which the
supreme court will base its Interpretation
of the Sherman act as applied to the Steel
corporation began some weeks ago and
have now for two or three weeks been in
progress in this city.
Whatever the answer to the legal qtes-
tions may be declared by the supreme
court to be, it will vitality affect almost all
of the larger manufacturing industries of
the United States. But in the examina-
tion OF witnesses which is now under way
in this city before a special examiner,
Henry Brown, much testimony has been
offered and a greater part of it accepted
which may be fairy discussed from the
economic and personal point of view.
The testimony furnishes Illuminating
sidelichtS of a kind not heretofore kin1Ief
during any of the dramatic and exciting
history of the orgaIization and operation
of the corporation. What these sidelishts
reveal is proper subject for present con-
sideration since the facts taken by them
selves are entirely outside the momentous
legal question, is the Steel corporation a

be right In view Of the fact thar they are
already heavy taxpayers and pay more
taxes into the treasury than do those Of

Later in the day the governor sent 10
the senate a veto message on an act )f

covery and invention of Sir Henry Besse-

and iron industry that within 25 years
after Sir Henry put his invention upon the
market it had increased the wealth of the
world by an amount equivalent to the
total capital of the civilized nations OF the

Twenty years later electricity and

Very elaborate machinery was invented
for this purpose and the process itself was

finish of the watermelon season in
South Georgia is at hand and the face

orally popular while sandwiching in a
lot of business for their respective
roads or houses.

has been the finest in years and the
prices have kept up well through the
whole season.

eight carloads shipped from five and
a half acres Of land, and there are
others coming very nearly up to it.
A number OF farmers received as high
as from 5000 to 1925 on special car
