ENDS STEEL ARGUMENTS.
Former War Secretary Dickinson
Appears for United States.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, October 20
The final days argument in the great
est corporation case ever considered by
any court opened with Jacob NJ Dickin-
son, former Secretary of War and spe-
cial assistant to the Attorney General.
continuing his address urging that the
United States Steel Corporation should
be disintegrated because it is violating
the antitrust laws. Mr.. Dickinson's ar
gument was largely in rebuttal of what
the six corporation lawyers who pre-
coded him had said in defense of the
steel corporation and its subsidiaries
once again the much discussed "a. qui-
sition of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad Company by the steel cor
poratlon came up for review. After
some discussion with the court Mr.
Dickinson said that when President
Roosevelt declined to interfere with
the Tennessee transaction he was deal
ing with panic IN New York and that
the Department of Justice in attacking
the transaction was dealing with an
unlawful acquisition of property. The
whole thing, Mr.. Dickinson said. re-
solved itself down to the question: Can
man stop panic in New York If h.
has to violate the antitrust law to dc
it?
