NELSON TELLS HOW
| STEEL CORPORATION
KILLS COMPETITION
UnreasOnably High Freight
Rates Are Charged Over
Company's Ore Car

New York. january 2S.-The "unrea-
sonably high freight rates charged
by the United States Steel corpora tion
over its ore carrying railroads in the
Lake Superior ore regions, 1t was as
serted today at the hearings in the
government suit TO dissolve the cor
poration under the Sherman antitrust
law, give the Steel corporation an un-
fair advantage over its competitors.
L. II. Nelson Of Hibbing, Mimi. an
ore expert. so testified. declaring that
the advantage "had eliminated all com
petition in the development of new
mines His testimony was adduced by
the government in an effort TO show
that by the acquisition of the Hill
ore lands the corporation had obtained
practical monopoly of the ore situ-
at on in the Lake Superior district.
Corroborating the testimony of Will
liam E. Corey, former president OF the
corporation, that the royalties paid by
the corporation COR the lease of the
Hill properties in 1907 We're too high,
Mr.. Nelson said that the average roy
alties &paid on ore at that time were
al ound so cents IA ton compared with
S5 cents a ton paid by the corporation.
Independent companies could not have
paid these royalties and developed the
properties, he said, because of the fact
that the Steel corporation controlled
the facilities for transporting the ore.
The corporation, It was brought out by
government counsel, made net profit
OF 30 cents a ton on every ton of ore
ii carried, which was too big an ad-
vantage. the witness thought, for the
Independent concerns. having no rail-
roads of their own to overcome.

INCOME TAX MAY Be
INCLUDED IN TARIFF
REVISION QUESTION
Plans Laid to Introduce Bill
Which Will Provide for
Such a Source of
Revenue

Washington, January 8.-A feature OF
the tariff revision programme of the ex-
ira session of Congress may include the
raising of $l00oOO.ooo from an income tax,
including the corporation tax, as part of
the s3o9, 10000 basis OF revenue from the
tariff. Representative Hull of Tennessee,
a democratic member of the committee
on ways and means, who has been active
ia income tax problems, plans to intro
duce bill which would provide such
Il source Of revenue.
This would be considered by the COM
rattee In connection with contemplated
early ratification of the constitutional
amendment to sanction income tax legis-
lation, of the necessary number of states
required for ratification only two are Lack
ing. MIR. Hull expects these TO be drawn
from New Jersey, Wyoming, New Mexico
or West Virginia, or from Florida, whose
legislature, however, will not meet until
Alrl. The democratic majority of the
committee favor an income tax, but in
the event of failure Of ratification will
renew the excise tax plan as an extension

Hearings on Wool

The committee today finished hearings
on wool and 1t is likely the democratic
plan as embodied in the two previous
democratic wool bills will be undsturbed.
This is true of all the so-called fight
ing" schedules on which the democrats
vent on record at this Congress-
cotton, metal. chemical and sugar and the
farmers free list-so far as the demo-
cratic leaders now foresee.
The last OF the IA schedules, 'sundries,'
v III be taken up tomorrow.
With only a few witnesses left, the
House committee went on to clean up
Hearings on schedule X, admittedly the
storm center OF the tariff question of the
coming extra session of Congress.
In the hearing $50 far it has been in
o;cated that the democrats intend to re-
ise the wool tariff along the lines of the
ool bills of 1911 and 1912 vetoed by Pres
ident Taft.
In the meanwhile the democratic lead
e-s are sounding out incoming members
OF the Congress as to the programme of
tariff revision. So far there are indl-
cations of preference for revision schedule
by schedule. The procedure will be de-
c'tled, however, at caucus during the
extra session.

Executive Session

When the Senate went into executive
session, Senator Martin, the democratic
floor leader, said the democrats would
adhere to then course of opposing action
on the majority OF the Taft appointments.
He declared thas the democrats did not
fear the effect that 3 filibuster might have
on legislation. lie added that if any of
the appropriation bills failed Of passage
before March they could be passed as
soon as the extra session assembled.
Some republicans have declared them
selves determined to fight. Mr.. Wilson'S
answer after March 4, If the democrats
persist in the present opposition TO the
Taft men. Contrary to the expectation
of some republican leaders, the caucus
presented solid front to treject the pro-
posal OF the democrats and insist upon
combinations.
Senators Dixon and Pondexter who
have made definite announcement of their
alignment with the progressive party were
not there, but other republican senators
classed as progressives We're present and
apparently in accord with the plan of
the caucus which held that each case
must stand on its merits and be taken up
as such. 1t was decided to revoke the

to break a quorum. Preparations Wei e
made for night session, but early in the
evening 1t was determined to adjourn and

After the caucus of republican senator's,
IN which the plan to fight for confirma-
ton of the .held-up nominations was
agreed upon, Senator Smoot moved an ex-
ecutive session Of the Senate with the
idea of holding the session as long as a
quorum was had. The republicans had
promised to remain in their seats to keep
the Quorum and 20 repeat the motion ev-
cry day in the hope of forcing confirma-
items The democrats were equally deter
mined to permit no combinations other
than army navy and diplomatic appoint
ments The prospect of lively struggle
was presented. Tie republicans declined

ocratic caucus, foi joint committee of 10
to go over the nominations and selec-

found no support in the republican ranks.

The Roumania Problem

rumor is in circulation i'm Sofia that
Roumania is about to present an uti-
matum to Bulgaria. The Roumanian
government has just arranged for an ad-
vance OF 100000 from a German syndi-
cate on treasury bills, and, according
to a Vienna report the Russian emperor
has conferred the Order of the White Ea-
gle on the Roumanian premier, Titu
Majoresco
1t can hardly be doubted that appre-
henson regarding the attitude of Rou-
mania and Russia In event of the resump-
ton of the war is making the allies
pause.
The Vienna Reichspost asserts that Bull
garia Is willing to concede the Rouma-
nlan territorial claims, provided Rouma-
mia will take an active share in the
military operations against Turkey.

take the blame for the delay in action on
the 1900 or more pending appointments,
The republican fight came after a caucus
early in the day, at which 1t was deter
mined to force the issue against the dem
ocrats and compel them either to yield in
their opposition or to adopt methods Of
delay and obstruction.
AS a result of the development of the
flibuster, intimations were given tonight
by republican senator's that the fight un-
doubtedly will exte.d into President-eleGt

Todays meeting of the allies lasted
five hours and the discussion was ami
mated. The delegates reviewed the whole
situation and debated both the resump-
tion of the war and the policy of delay,
trusting to time to solve the difficulties.
The head of each delegation reported the
conversation which he had had with Sir
Edward Grey. the British foreign secre-
tary, and reference was made again to
the advice of the ambassadors to OBJ
serve prudence and moderation. This
greatly strengthened the arguments of
that section favoring procrastination,
their view being that after the powers
