So Pictured at Hearing by
Its President.
SAVED The COTTON CROP
Corporation Supplied Practically All
the Ties for Marketing Last Years
Product Although There Was No
Profit In the Business,


New York, May 1.-THE United
States Steel corporation was pictured
as an industrial benefactor by James
A. Farrell, its president, when he re-
sumed the witness stand as a witness
for the defense in the government
suit to dissolve the corporation.
Were it not for the policy of the
corporation to do a general busi-
ness, regardless of conditions" the
cotton crop OF the United States this
year could not be marketed, he ex-
planned, as the corporation supplied
practically all the cotton ties used
for binding cotton baled in the coun-
try and that there was no profit in
their manufacture.
Our competitors" he said, "have
shown no desire to manufacture cot
ton ties, so it devolved upon us to
supply the demand"
''The government at the time of the
recent foods" he continued needed
steel piling to strengthen the levee
at New Orleans. We got a rush or
der for SIS tons on Thursday and in
spite of the fact that we were very
busy we delivered it on the next
Tuesday, eighty-six hours before the
high water arrived. We always give
preference to government work"
Production Abroad Costs Less.
The cost of production of steel was
greater in America than in Europe,
Mr.. Farrell testified. He said the
wages paid abroad were 81 per cent
to 3S per cent lower than here:
freight rates were lower and ship
ping facilities for export trade were
better.
Under way in sailing vessel from
Calcutta, India, to San Francisco, he
said, is the first cargo of Indian pig
iron ever sent to this country, and
which would be laid down in San
Francisco, under the new duty, for
$10.87. The present market price for
pig iron on the Pacific coast is $21.50.
did you tell Mr.. Underwood about
that?" asked Judge Dickinson, coun-
sci for the government.
II don't think 1t would make any
difference with him." smiled the wit
ness

A Reversal
Of Position
By LOUISE B. CUMMINGS

There may be many ways by which
girl with fortune may propose to
the man she wants for a husband. be
being poor and not in position to pro-
pose to her. The American method Of
marriage is that the husband supports
the wife. But few such expedieEts
have been published. This Is probably
because the matter Is delicate one.
concerning only the contracting par
ties.
George Parkinson was looking for
some signal from Leticia Scarborough.
He was a sensitive fellow and would
make no advances himself whatever.
Miss Scarborough had a number of
suitors. who. whether or no they pos
sessed the wherewithal to warrant
their asking her to marry them. were
not backward in indicating their in
tention. George seldom went to see
her without stumbling on a fresh ar
rival Of flowers sent by some fellow
as d preliminary to an offer of his
hand They made him bite his lip, for
he very much wanted the young lady
for himself, but was too proud even
to indicate the fact in any formal or
informal way. He held that If a wom-
an with a future wanted a man with
out one for husband she will find a
way to let him know that a proposal
from him will be accepted.
He had been on friendly terms with
her-to apply no stronger word-for
some months without her giving him
the signal. During this time other
stars had appeared in the matrimonial
heavens. but had disappeared Nike
those comets which. having once cir
cled around the sun. go forth never to
return. Out Of the withered flowers
they left George gathered hope. In
one way at least his position was pref
cradle to theirs-they had placed gulf
between themselves and the lady by
proposing to her. George had done
nothing Of the kind So long as he
was not a rejected sutton he was free
to continue his attentions ad libitum.
He noticed that they all went
through much the same course. A
man would meet Miss Scarborough at
some function: would ask permission
to call: would do SO several times.
Then an invitation to theater. concert
or opera would follow; more calls;
flowers. Then the scene would sud
denly darken like moving picture
screen when the films have run out.
The lady would remain; the man
would take himself out of her world
altogether.
George did not accuse Miss Scarbor
ough of encouraging these men. He
knew that she wished simply to be
friendly with them. to avail herself
Of their attentions. for which. by the
bye, she always gave some kind Of
return. and when she saw the usual
signs of d coming declaration she
J StrOve to prevent it. What reason had
he to suppose. if he could bring him
self. as be expressed it. to ask her to
share her fortune with him. that he.
too would not, cease to revolve about
, the central sun and go out into space?
1t is d common thug for women to
bring men to declaration by some
artifice. but there are few cases of
man scheming for a proposition from
woman. Indeed. such a condition Is
an anomaly Gearge determined to do
that very thing. He did not pout al
something she had said to him; he die
