Recalls Grey's Admission.

THUS clearing away ~! nou-releyant
ooJectlous. the note proceeds TO discuss
the British assertion that the exemption
OF United States coastwise vessels from
tolls is a discrimination against British
vessels. Mr.. Knox recalls Sir Edward
Grey'a admission of the right OF the

The secretary points out That Grca
Britain does rot claim the right 10 par
tlcipatc in American coastwise trade. but
objects 10 the exemption OF thai trade
from tolls because the! may adversely cf-
feet British rights to equal treatment in
the payment OF tolls or TO just and eguij- =

objection that coastwise trade cannot be
circumscribed so completely that Cone

Corey Then President.

The time adverted to by Mr.. Corey was
a year before the crisis in the manage
ment OF the Steel trust that ended IN his
retirement from the presidency.
Rcvertng to the Gary dinner. Mr..
Dickinson asked If samuel g. Ma ther
and William G. Mather ofthe PickaTds
& Mather Steel company OF Cleveland,
rivals Of the steel corporation. were not
appointed as members of the agreement
committee.

OF all who went into the agreement.
The forraer Steel trust chlef told upon
being pro6ded by Mr.. Dickinson OF the
Steel Billet association. organized TO put
up prices in that particular branch Of tie
industry When Corey was In the Car
negie Steel company before It's absorp-
ton by the Steel corporation, he refused
to go into the Steel Billet association,
he said. but later on the trust did and he
had 70 go along with IT..
Mr.. Dickinson resorte6 10 minutes or
the Steel corporation. with which the
government is fully equipped, and read
off list OF leases between that concern
and companies producing iron ore. Mr..

Controlled by Gary.

He pointed out that the leases were
before the finance committee which was
ruled by Gary, One lease to which Mr..
Corey objected was that owned by Jam es

Mr.. Coreys, mind. called FOR an ex,,

ore dug out OF the m!ne. but agreed 10

was signed protested Mr.. Corey,
Wasn't that property needed by the
Steel corporatlon?"
"Yes," replied Mr.. Corey. "but as I

tained. arbitration of which would be pre-

Taking UP Sir Edward Grey's objection
that the canal act would enable tolls TO
be fixed which would not be just and
equitable, the secretary, again calling
attention TO the fact that this statement
was made without knowledge OF the pres-
ident's toll proclamation, remarks that
this ayein II based upon a mere coptia-
gency, that there is no claim that the
tolls, as now actually fixed, arc not f'just
and eauta Bile" Without admitting that
the burden of proof rests upon the United
statee TO show that all traffic has not
been reclsoned with in fixing upon the
tolls, and that consequently they arc
equitable. Secretary Knox welcomes the
opportunity OF informing the British gov
ernment that such Is the case and that
