GARY DINNERS LEGAL.
Chairman of Steel Corporation Denies
Price Fixing.

New York, June 3-Judge Ebert H.
poration at the hearing today in the
government dissolution suit denied
that there had been any other price
fixing or percentage division of output
among steel manufa cturers since 1904,
although previous to that, he said, oral
agreements had been entered into with
regard to some product. The steel cor
poration was organized in 1901 Price
fixing as charged by the deal, was not
the object of the socalled Gary dinners
to steel manufa cturers, the witness
said
The purpose of these dinners" he
said, was to bring manufacturers to-
gether to establish a friendly feeling in
order to prevent such decentralization,
and the esta blishing of stability of the
business. There was no agreement ex-
pressed or implied to fix prices" Judge
Gary denied the existence of an inter
national rail pool. as testified to by
William E. Corey, former president of
the corporation.
Corey might have made an agreement
and kept it secret from me- but 1 have
no reason to think he did, said the
witness. In explanation of the fact that
the price of steel rails in this country
had remained at SS5 a ton ever since
the organization of the steel corpora
ton, Judge Gary said that the price
had been fixed practically by agree
ment between the railroads and the
manufacturers, because SS5 is consid-
cred fair price, ~ 5-=t
The impression 5that there is a big
profit in steel rails is wrong" said the
witness

proved to be contagious disease
caused by parasite and it can be heal
ed according to DIR. Otto Schmidt.
cancer expert who reported at yester-
DAYS meeting of the medical society
here, results of his investigations. DR..
Schmidt declared that he had proved
through experiments and had confirm
ed his findings by means of repeated
tests that the disease was conta gious,
brought about by the presence of
parasite which he had discovered in
.cancerous growths. He said he had pro-
duced a vaccine with which he had
healed numerous serious cases of can
Ger. His treatment he says brings about
immunization against further attacks.

IMPROVE REPORTS.


ton to which so many object. President
waters said, tersely, We move our
stun about too much. If you get a
man to give to the producer and the
consumer the expert service which
most traffic managers give to railroads
IN developing their business you will
erect an enormous economy and solve,
largely the great problem of trans
portatlon- Every movement should be
IN a direct line from the farm to the
table.
Appalling Waste.
The waste in marketing perishable
products such as fruits and vegeta bles
frequently is appalling. The govern
ment and the states should try
to furnish telegraphic information re-
sard1ng the supply, the demand and
movement of all materials of this kind
IN season, and not leave the producer
constantly in danger of sending his
perishable products to a market al
ready glutted. which will not take his
wares at price high enough to pay
the freight
Reports Should Be More Simple.
Finally, President Waters said, crop
reports should be made in terms that
would be understood by the man with
other business to occupy his mind. The
states and the government should have
expert advisers in marketing details
as in details of production. These ex-
perts must interpret at all times to
the layman, the exact situation as to
supply and demand and be a reliable
guide to them in buying or selling.
