Agrees With Corey That Royalties
Paid for Lease Were
Too High.

New Pork, Jan. 30.-The "unreason-

the United States Steel corporation

Lake Superior ore regions, it was as

under the Sherman antitrust law.
rive the steel corporation an unfair
advantage over its competitors.
p. H. Nelson of Hibbing, Mimi, an
ore expert, SO testified, declaring the
advantage had eliminated all com.
petition h the development Of new
mines.
His testimony was adduced by the
government in an effort to show that
BY the acquisition of the Hill ore
lands the corporation had obtained a
practical monopoly of the ore situa'
tion in the Lake Superior district.
Corroborating the testimony of Will
lam e. Corey, former president Of
the corporation, that the royalties paid
by the corporation for the lease OF
the Hill properties in 1907 were too
high, Mr.. Nelson said the average roy
alties paid on ore at that time were
around SO cents ton, compared with
IS cents a ton paid by the corpor.
alton.
Independent companies could not
have paid these royalties and devea-
oped the properties, he said, because
of the fact that the steel corporation
controlled the facilities for transport.
ing the ore. The corporation, it was
brought out by government counsel,
made profit of 35 cents ton on
every ton of ore it carried, which was
too big an advantage, the witness
thought, for the independent concerns,
having no railroads of their own to
overcome.
The ore rates on the corporation
railroads which were formerly 30
cents ton, were reduced to go cents
ton at about the same time the
present suit was filed. The witness
thought that rate Of 40 cents atom
would be more reasonable.
Mr.. Nelson will continue his testi.
nony today.

Extend Into Wilson'S
Regime.

Washington, Jan. 3O.-The tight
ever President Taft's appointments
was begun in earnest in the senate
and for six hours Republicans and
Democrats battied Tuesday behind
closed doors, the former demanding
action on the nominations and the
latter filibustering to prevent it.
adjournment came 1t was expected
that the tight would be renewed I'M
less Republican leaders should decide
TO rest upon the record already made.
Democratic senators consistently
refused to take up the nominations in
regular order and professed them
selves willing to take the blame for
the delay in action On the 1,4OO or
more pending appointments.
The opening Of the Republican fight
followed a caucus early in the day,
1t which it was determined to force
the issue against the Democrats and
compel them to either yield in their
opposition or to openly adopt meth.
DDS Of delay and obstruction.
Al result of the development Of
the filibuster, intimations were given
last night by Republican senators that
the fight undoubtedly will extend into
President-elect Wilson's administers
ton and be reflected In the senate's
action on many Of his appointments.
Republicans remained in the senate
chamber throughout the day, sending
the sergeant-at-arms after missing
Democrats when the latter attempted

were made for a night session but
early in the evening it was determin.
ed to adjourn and decide today
whether the contest should be con-
tinued.
