Was a Complete Proposition From
Mining Ore to the Finished Steel.
| New York, May 29.-Judge Ebert
H. Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel corporation, and the man
who conducted many of the negotia-
lions which led to it's organization, de-
| clared on the witness stand that
neither he nor the late J. P. Morgan
nor anybody else concerned, had ever
| during these negotiations discussed
the question of obtaining a monopoly
| in the steel industry or of suppresslng
competition.
Judge Gary was testifying as wit
ness for the defense in the suit to dis
solve the corporation under the Sher-
man antitrust law.
The witness in a detailed recital OF
the circumstances which led to the
formation of the corporation and en-
deavored to show that the sole pur-
pose that actuated it's organizers was
to obtain "a rounded out, self contain
ed proposition, complete in every
! phase of manufacture from the mining
of ore to the production of diversified
/ finished products in the mills, with the
ability to reduce costs to the most
/ economical basis and particularly to
develop an export trade"
"Our effort" he said emphatically,
| shas been to extend trade and to fos-
ter competition, and we have done
that"
With equal emphasis Judge Gary
denied that the Steel corporation had
been overcapitalized as alleged by the
government The various properties
acquired "were all worth the price
i that was paid for them," he declared,
while the ore properties of the Lake
Superior Consolidated Iron Mines,
i John D. Rockefeller's concern, were
i obtained, at has since been proved
at a very low price.
He denied that the Federal Steel
company, the nucleus around which
the corporation was formed, was
i monopoly in itself, as alleged by the
i government, and recalled that when
1.-The Federal and some of the other
4 steel companies, now subsidiaries OF
the corporation, were investigated by

In 1899, no complaint was entered

aWas the alleged threat of Andrew
4 Carnegie to go into the steel tubs

3Mr. Morgan or any one else?"
ssIt was not" said the witness.
Judge Gary said that he would not
deny that competition existed 'te
some extent" between the Carnegie
Il company and the Illinois Steel. com
pany, a subsidiary of the Federal
4 Steel company.
The Carnegie company did sci
rails in the Chicago district lower than

do what they came near doing at one
