faeturers, including the corporation. He

from a pool that existed before the or
poration was organized. Ii was broken up,
he said, in 1904 or 1905.
There was never any agreement made
from that time on to advance, reduce or
maintain the price, was there?"
That's right"
Thereafter, Mr.. Corey testified, some
of the other manufacturers wanted to
raise the price. On several occasions,
he said, these manufacturers had made
suggestion to this effect, saying that
they thought the price was too low, but
the steel corporation declined to raise
the price.
Except in the steel rail market, IHr.
Corey testified, the Tennessee Coal &
Iron company had not been the corpora

build old plants and build new ones. At

An oversight of not appointing an Off

game at the Church street gymnasium
last evening caused the Dog River val

might be called the first half, when

stands at the opening of the contest,
the local quintet showed a remarkable

previous performances. The basket un-
der the surveillance of the Mortified
team was figuratively magnet for the
shots of the Spaulding marksmen.
When the time allotted for the first
half was presumed to have been con-
sumed the spectators and the players,
likewise, grew inquisitoral, and gem
eral consultation ensued, which bore evil
dence that no keeper of time had been
appointed. The chieftain of the North

of protest, claiming that as no guardian

Of the game and in order that the game
be legal, the score of the first half
should be reverse TO 25 to 5. and the

WASHINGTON, March William
3. Wilson, the baby member Of the

a few words the policy that will gov
ern him in the discharge Of his duties.
While apparently he resented the re
port that he would be a special plead
er IN the cause OF labor he acknoWl-
edged to entertaining strong conYie-
lions on the labor question.
ut would not be accurate to say
that I represent organized labor in
performing my official duty he said.
II shall represent the government
OF course, however. the point of view
has much to do With such matters.
Probably more interest Is being
taken in the program of the depart
nlent of labor than IN any other eA-
ecutive department Of the govern
ment. Appointed virtually at the IN
stieation of Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent OF the American Federation OF
Labor. Mr.. Wilson, it was feared by
those opposed to labor union methods,
would decide all questions from the
viewpoint of labor and that the
American Federation of Labor would
be the DONNA ting spirit i'll the new
department.
Friends of AIR. Wilson declare their
confidence in his judgment and fair-
ness. They point to his record IN the
House on labor Legislation and insist
