James Gayley, former vice president
of the corporation and director of the
Carnegie Steel company previous to its
acquisition by the corporation in 1901,
was the witness through which the
testimony was adduced While Mr..
Gayiey's memory had to be frequent

utes of the Carnegie company, he told
of Mr.. Rockefeller having been pic
tured as a "scare-crow" Of the steel
industry because of his control of vast
iron ore properties in the Lake Su-
perior district. He testified also TO
efforts of the Carnegie company to OBJ

the result of representations that Mr..

concentration of credit in New York clty
ana to some extent In Boston and Chi

While agreeing substantially with the

the abuses to be included in the financial
system, the stock exchanges and tho
clearing house associations. the under
signed have doubts as to the wisdom OF
some of the remedies proposed by the ma

This report further set forth the belief
thai before definitely recommending any
remedial legislation, testimony should be
taken covering more fully the effect OF
various changes in the laws that have
been suggested. 1T is manlfestly impos-
sibe" the report concluded, that any
OF the proposed legislation can be con-

Described Acquiring of Propertv


Mr.. Gayley described ore property
acquired by the Carnegie company dur
ing the period when the alleged com
petition between the two big interests
was on. From the minutes of the Car
negie company. read into evidence by
counsel for the government 1t appeared
that the Consolidated Iron Mines COM
pany controlled by Mr. Rockefeller
made an agreement with the Minnesota
Iron company whereby the latter COM
pany was to purchase no more iron
mines, leasing its mines from the Con
solidated. A similar agreement was
made between the Consolidated and tha
Carnegie company IL then developed,
according to Mr.. Gayleys testimony,
that the Carnegie company in 1900 pur-
chased properties containing rs 600 900
tons of ore
This, said the witness, resulted in a
meeting in New York between himself
and another official OF the Carnegie COM
pany and John d Rockefeller. Jr, and
the Rev. Frederick T. Gates, Mr. Rookie
fellers ore agent.
did Mr. Gates demand of the Oliver
Mining company that there should be
turned over to the Consolidated company
without conditions 75,O00,0O0 tons OF ore ac-
quired Ythe Oliver Iron company in con-
travention of the agreement between the
two eompanies?" asked Jacob NJ Dickin-
son, attorney for the government
''Mr. Gates did make such a demand at
the time, but we explained that under the
agreement Mr. Rockefeller was not sup
plying US with all the ore lands we
needed"
Did your contention prevail?"
well. we turned the properties over to
them, which may be construed as an adj
mission that thier claim was correct. "
smiled Mr.. Gayley. ''They agreed to
make a new deal. however, under which
we We're to receive larger tonnages"
Judge Dickinson read from letter writ
ten by Gayley to the directors of the
Carnegie company in reference to the
meetings:
ut is difficult to play a game of bluff
when the other party holds the cards and
you know it. = the letter read. "Neverthe-
less we have retained 60,OO00O0 of the 75,-
100000 tons"
The 100000 tons. Mr. Gayley explained,
were obtained by agreeing to lease the
lands from the Consolidated company,
Another passage from the minutes ex-
pressed the fear that to turn the proper
ties over to the Consolidated COMPANY
would be the same as turning them over
to the Federal Steel company. Judge
Dickinson tried to bring out from thel
witness that 'Rockefeller's people" nad
an interest in the Federal's subsidiary,
the Minnesota company but Mr. Gayley
professed ignorance of such a thing.
Other passages from the minutes re-
ferred to properties bought ''for fear they
will be taken up BY the Federal" The
witness was able to throw little light on
these transactions.
The hearing was adjourned 10 nextl
Wednesday and Mr. Gayley will continue
his testimony.
