ATTORNEY FOR GOVERNMENT
TOOK UP ENTIRE DAY WITH
HIS ARGUMENT.

tne attorney general took up the en-
TIVE day In the federal district court
mere giving reasons why the United
states Steel corporation should be
dissolved because IL violates the Sher.
man antitrust law. as charged by the
government. He did not agree with
counsel for the defense that the forma-
ton OF the Steel corporation was the
natural outcome of conditions in the
iron and steel trade prior to 1901.
when the concern was chartered in
New Jersey. He reiterated the gov
ernments contention that the combi.
nation was brought into existence by
nvc groups OF interests headed by the
late J. p. Morgan.
Technical Argument
Mr.. Colton's argument was LARGELY
technical and went back more chan
twenty years to build up the case. He
argued that there was sharp competi-
ton among the steel companies until
they were absorbed by the big concern.
The creation of the Steel corporation
was not natural outcome Of cond.
tons. but clearly thought out scheme
intended TO monopolize the iron and
steel business of the country IL con-
trolled when organized he said. was
a clear Indication that Il was formed
with monopolistic intent. The main
tenance OF nigh prices year after year
was an indication. he said. that the
Steel corporation has powerful in
tiuence in the trade and that IL actual
IL monopolizes the business to a great
extent.
Mr.. Cotton will continue his argu-
mont on Monday. Three lawyers have
talked twenty-three hours in the case
and five more are still to be heard.
Judges Burlington. Mcpherson. Hunt
and Woolley are giving the attorneys
all the time they want.
Mr.. Cotton went into great detail
IN describing conditions prior to The
creation OF the United States Steel
corporation and had not finished his
argument when court adjourned short
