SAYS STEEL MEN
CHANGED TACTICS
IN AGING PROBE
Dickinson, in Last Days Argu-
ment, Declares Broader
Schemes Were Devised.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29.--Final
days argument inthe greatest corpor-
tion case ever considered by any court
opened with Jacob M. Dickinson,
former secretary Of and special as
sistant to tine attorney general, con-
tinuing his address, urging that the
United States Steel Corporation
should be disintegrated because il Is
violating the ANTITRUST law Mr.
DieMnson's argument was largely in
rebuttal of what the six corporation
lawyers who preceded him had said
in defense of the steel corporation
and its subsidiaries.
Mr.. Dickinson said the steel cor
poration had the power TO crush out
all competitors IL it so desired, but It
realized that if II pursued such n
policy 1t would be swiftly crushed
by the government. But, said he, it
adopted a different scheme. II en-
tered into pools. agreements and
combinations with it's competitors,
by means of which prices We're kept
up and larger returns were received
on its enormous watered capital. 1t
was the most astute and most COM
prehensive policy that has ever char
acteriZed any business movement in
the history OF the world.
After rumors Of possible prosecu-
ton got abroad, after congressional
and governmental Investigations were
started, Mr.. Dickinson declared, the
steel corporation changed it's methods
to reach the same ends. It dropped
pools and agreements and larger and
broader schemes were devised. These
were the famous GaTy dinners and
meetings which were attended by 80
per cent. of the iron and steel manu-
facturers of the country.

SHIPS CARRYING
j. S. COPPER ARE
HELD BY BRITISH
Italian Vessels Are Seized at
GibraItar-State Depart
ment investigates.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The seiz-
ure at Gibraltar by British authori-
ties of two Italian vessels, the San
Giovanni and the Regina Italia, car
rying cargoes of American copper.
was reported to the state department
today.
The report of the seizures was re-
ceIved from the copper companies IN
New York, shippers of the cargoes
held They requested the state de
partment to make protests to Great
Britain against confiscation Of the
cargoes.
The state department cabled the
American consul at Gibraltar for an
explanation of the detention of .the
vessels. In this connection a report
was also asked from the consul re-
garding the seizure of the Red Star
liner Kroonland there yesterday, 1t
is probable that representations will
be made to Great Britain when the
department obtains full details of the
seizures.
Tho San Giovanni and the Regina
Italia sailed from New York and
were on their way to Italian ports.
Although Great Britain has given no
reason it is assumed at the state de-
partment that she suspected that
had the copper reached Italian ports
it would be reconsigned TO Germany
and Austria.
