]. S. SUIT AGAINST
STEEL TRUST IS UP
Dissolution Proceedings Before
Philadelphia Court.
STARTED THREE YEARS AGO
Brief Of Defendant Corporation Says
Company ls Fair In Its Business
Transactions and Not Injur-
Ioua to Public.

Philadelphia. Oct. 21.-The federal
suit for the dissolution of the United
States Steel corporation under the
Sherman law came up for argument
before the United States court of ap-
peals here. The suit was filed by the
government on October 26, 1911, and
the taking Of testimony before spe-
cial examiner was started early in the
following year and continued until
the spring of 1914 .~s
r. Brief In Two Parts.
The brief OF the defendant corpora
ton presented to the court Is in two
parts, a statement of the case and an
argument. The statement reduced to
some FIVE hundred pages the $4,000
pages of testimony, and the argument
containing the corporations presenta-
ton of the case takes up $50 pages.
The claims of the defense with re-
spect to the organization OF the corpo-
ration are summed up thus:
THE organization was but a natural
and normal development from existing
trade and manufacturing conditions
and was only notable because of the
largeness of the conception which un.
derlay 1t and the courage exhibited in
undertaking to carry it out, but ability
to think large and courage to execute
the thought are not condemned by law.
Indeed, the future prosperity Of our
country and its standing among the
nations must depend in large measure
upon the encouragement given to these
attributes of the American business
man"
Always Open and Fair.
Throughout the brief it is contended
by counsel for the defense that the
testimony of large numbers of witness
es, including customers and competi.
tors of the corporation, conclusively
shows that the conduct of the corpo-
ration has been uniformity open and
fair and not injurious to customers or
competitors or prejudicial to the pub
lie interests, and that the corporation
neither possesses nor has attempted
to exercise a monopoly; also that it
has not restrained. but on the con
trary, has promoted and extended
trade and commerce.

EXPENSIVE TO RAILROADS
Changed Conditions incident to the
Advent of the Automobile viii
Cost Big Sums.

Des Moines, Oct 21.--It is going to
be an expensive matter for the rail
roads OF Iowa to meet the changed
conditions incident to the advent OF
the automobile as the universal form
of transportation While it cuts tho
revenues of the railroads the era
the motor car also compels large ex
penditures for making the grade
crossings of the state safe for the
passage of the speed maniac.
The state highway commission and
the railroad commission are cooper
ating nicely in having this work Of
improvement done. II is something
that they both have duties to perform
that it may be right.
Already the state highway com
mission has prepared and secured ap
prevail of plans for extensive changes
at about seventy dangerous grade
crossings in the state. The work o..
making these changes ID going to be

1t is found that the cost of these
changes runs somewhere about $500
to 5000 each. 1t includes grading III

structions, making it so the autos
can cross without too sharp curves
etc. In many cases under-crOssings
are being constructed. In some cases
where nnder-crossings already exist.
ed it has been necessary to make
changes so that the autos might not
have collision beneath the tracks.
A typical case of dangerous eros.
sings is the one near MitChellville
where some Jasper county people
were killed last summer. The con.
struction of an embarrassing there
will cost about $4,000. The county
will pay $4,000 and the rest will be
divided between two companies.
Near Grinnell $4,000 is to be spent
in making a dangerous crossing safe
1t is planned that next year there
will be great deal more accomplish
ed along this line, though it is felt
than an excellent start has been
made and policy has been adopted
that in the end will work out well
for the state.

Big AUDIENCE
HEARS HELEN
KELLER

Helen Keller, most famous
woman in the world in point of
accomplishment under difficulties,
spoke to an audience that packed
the First Presbyterian church last
night.
Her teacher, Mrs. Macy, who
took her as a deaf, dumb and
blind child and has taught her to
speak and to appreciate all the
finer things of the world, was
with her and spoke first, telling
the story of Helen Keller.
Miss Keller declared a message
of human love and brotherhood to
her hearers. She gave many illus
trations of how she learned
through placing her hands on the
throat and lips of Mrs. Macy as
she spoke. She now speaks dis
tinctly and is far advanced in
literature, Greek, Latin, German,
French, and great student of
economics. She has learned all
this without being able to see or
hear.

WAGE CONFERENCE FAILS TO
AGREE ON SCALE OF PAY

OLYMPIA, April 1.-The con-
ference on a minimum wage for
female workers in mercantile es-
Establishments adjourned at $40
last night after failing to reach
decision.
The failure hinged on the fact
that the Industrial welfare COM
mission has not passed upon the
matter of apprenticeships. A vote
was taken, recommending a $40
minimum, j. d. Fletcher, disin-
terested member of the confer
ence, of Tacoma, reserving the
right to have the vote reconsider
ed II it did not carry unanim-
ously.
The three employees and the
three disinterested parties repre-
senting the general public voted
for the $40 minimum, but the
three employers, j. l.. Paine of
Spokane, G. j. Wolff of Aberdeen,
and w. N. Cuddy of Tacoma, vot-
ed no, explaining that they would

have voted yes had the appren-
ticeship question been settled ia
vorably to the idea of long
apprenticeship for beginners for
a wage less than the minimum.
The minimum wage commits
sion continued in session, hoping
to be able to make a ruling on
apprenticeship to be presented I'd
the conference this morning. Tho
commission has power to handle
this question under the law, but
the conference is not empowered
to make recommendation. The
employers and the employees ap-
peared hopelessly divided on the
matter, and 1t Is doubtful IL any
agreement could have been reach
ed. The employers stood firmly
all day in favor of a $3.50 mini
mum wage and agreed to the $40
only as a compromise, even had
the apprenticeship been deter
mined. Attempt to establish q
minimum wage was resumed this
morning.
