clash Over Price Of Pig Iron.
Mr.. Corey gave his first innling OF
4 clash between himself and Judge
cary when he was asked to tell about
the formation Of a pool to fix prices
on pig iron. From what Mr.. Dickin-
son was able to dlaW out, it appear

| Bessemer Pig Iron Association. COM
posed OF rival concerns back in 1903,
to work an amicable schedule in the
selling field
My recollection is that nothing
practical was accomplished in the
! long run, so far as that understanding
with the Pig Iron manufacturers went
because not all of use wanted to re-
strict the field in that way" said Mr..
Corey
He followed this up by Observing
that Judge Gary favored the scheme,
even if others opposed it.
Mr.. Dickinson delved into the crea-
ton Of pool Of the Plate and Struc-
tural Steel Manufacturers, through
which 60 per cent of the production of
the country was controlled. In this

William E. Corey Says Com
! bine Controls Industry
and Prices.
WILLING WITNESS
Ex-Yice President and Judge +. IT,
Gary Did Not Agree on Policy and
Former Was Forced Out.

Anew York, Jan 23.-Intimate re-
lations of clashes that led to the
freezing out of William Ellis Corey
4 from the United States Steel Cor
pofation, in 1909, We're given by Mr.
Corey at today's hearing Iefore Re
Il fierce Brown in the governments suit
I to dissolve the Steel Tr'lst as a
monopoly.
For the first time Mr.. Corey dis
closed what Wall Street has always
believed to be the fact that he and
Judge FL H. Gary, who displaced him
as president of his steel corporation,
had seriously divergent views as to
vital phases of the giant concern s
management.
From Mr.. Corey the government in
quisitors learned that he opposed
Judge Garys scheme to form a pool
Of manufacturers of plate and struc-
tural .steel-a pool that was so broadly
comprehensive as 10 involve nearly
all of the steel manufacturers of the
country
Corey Opposed Gary Policies.
Mr.. Corey assured Special Govern
ment Attorney Judge Dickinson. who
led him through maze of deals put
through by the Steel Trust, that he
bad objected, for himself, to the cor
poration trying to run 1.-The steel in
dustry by fixing prices by agreement
ard labelling out territory.
The former head of the Steel Trust
assumed the attitude before the gov
eminent prohers that he was power
/ less to resist the opposing influences
in the Steel Trust directorate led
by Judge Gary.
Through Mr.. Corey the fact was
further disclosed that at the famous
Gary dinner, given the Steel magnate
at the aldorf-Astoria in December,
1903, the frame work was laid for a
general understanding among the
steel men of the country to regulate
prices and thus control the world
| market against the independents. In
| pursuance of this agreement later on,
! the Steel Trust, it was established
through Mr.. Corey's evidence, did &C
tually dominate the field making
prices as it saw fit.
A Willing Witness
Evidently smarting under the alb
mpt manner in which he was cata-
quilted out of the Steel Trust in 1910.
Corey seemed to be a willing enough
witness, even though his evidence
may go a long way towards accom-
pishing what the government Is after
1.-The breaking up of the Steel Trust.
Since leaving the Steel Corporation
Mr.. Corey has retired from Wall
street and has disposed of nearly all,
not all his entire holdings in the
Trust. He is not defendant in the
suit brought by the government for,
