Steel Corporation President Testifies
In Government Suit. .s5s
REASON FOR The COMBINATION
President Farrell Traced Growth q
Export Business In Steel From
the Beginning to the
Present Time.

new 1OTk, May lo.-lu NC OAaUSu
States Steel corporation was pictured
by james A. Farrell, its president, as
combination organized not to sup
press it's competitors, but to develoI
the sale of steel in foreign lands, 9
development which could not have
been accomplished, he said, If the cor
poration had not taken the various
companies competing for foreign bust
ness under it's wing. He was testify
ing as the first witness for the de-
tense in the government suit to dis.
solve the corporation as combina-
tion in retraint of trade.
The witness traced the growth Of
the steel corporations export bust
ness from 292, 1000 tons the first year
it was organized, to 2,246,600 tons in
1912, and from $31, 100000 IN value in
1904 to $92,OO0,O0 in 1912. The re.
suit had been that 80 per cent of the
country's foreign trade in steel was
done by the corporation, he said.
y No "Understandings."
"We have made the strongest effort
possible to increase our foreign trade
as compared with our domestic
trade" Mr. Farrell declared. "Our
competitors have only been con-
cerned with foreign business when
domestic trade has, been insufficient
to keep their capacity employed"
Contradicting the testimony of Viii.
liam E. Corey, his predecessor as
president of the corporation, that
there had been Understandings" be-
tween the corporation and foreign
manufacturers as to the prices and a
division of territory, Mr.. Farrell said:
1--WE have never operated under
any pools or agreements with foreign
manufacturers, either as to price or
location. We have never entered in
to any contracts or agreements with
foreign manufacturers to stay out of
their market provided they would
stay out of ours"
He denied also that the corpora
ton made practice" Of selling its

World Its Market.
The corporation has established
agencies from Iceland to the Fiji
islands," 268 in all, Mr.. Farrell said,
and as result the export business Of
the subsidiaries had greatly increased,
in the case of the Carnegie Steel
company, to "a per cent of its whole
production.
Mr. Farrell told of selling wire in
Patagonia, rails in Formosa, steel
bridges in Iceland and wire fencing
in South Africa. Steamships had been
bought or chartered to carry steel to
points seldom touched on regular
steamship routes, he added.
This foreign trade, he further ex-
planned, had been developed in the
face of financial antagonism in
Europe, preferential tariffs and local
opposition.
Forty thousand men are now en-
ployed by the corporation in manufac-
turing steel for export and $1,000
more in making the steel sold to man.
