 "To Want More Would be Wicked"

Philadelphia. Oct. 20.-Argument in the suit of the federal governments which is seeking to break up the United States Steel corporation by separating into independent units all of its subsidiaries, on the ground that their combination into the one gigan- tic concern constituted @ violation of the antitrust laws, was begun here today before four judges sitting as the United States court for the dis trict of New Jersey. Jacob M. Dick inson, former secretary of war. who has been in charge of the govern ment's side of the case since it was instituted, in October, 1911, took up the entire day in presenting the pros ecution and will continue tomorrow The entire week will be consumed by the final arguments of counsel for each side.
 Nothing Sensational.
 The opening days argument pro- duced no sensations and there was lit tie brought out that was new. The steel corporation has been under in- vestigation, not only by the depart bureau of corporations and congress sional committees and much of the testimony dwelt upon today by MT. Dickinson has been published in re- ports and in newspapers.
 No Reference to Roosevelt. MT. Dickinson made no reference to former President Roosevelt, but in the brief filed by the government it was set out that the representatives of the steel corporation who went to Washington to consult with MT. Roose- welt over the propriety of purchasing the Tennessee stock from the New oYrk brokers. had deceived the pres ident as to the amount of stock held by the New York firm.
 In the course of his argument Mir. Dickinson read letters and monutes of corporation meetings.
 Carnegie Letter Causes Smile. ! One letter that caused smile to go around and lessened the solemnity of teh courtroom was one written by Andrew Carnegie at Skibo Castle | Scotland in 1899. It appears that MT. Cal negie's company, with the H. linois Steel and other concerns, was in a steel rail pool. MT. Carnegie wrote a >etter to his company, which appeared on the minutes. stating that the Illinois company was 90,000 tons | ahead of its proportion of the stee ! rail business and that it was bad 1 policy to allow the Carnegie com
 pany's proportion of orders to fall be- | low that of others
 | ''If you can fill next year at pres | ent prices, you have at least forty millions profit-but it may be fifty
 To want r1ore than that seems wick | ed"
 ] Advice Carnegie Gave. ! At another time, when competition
 was brisk before the day of the stee | corporation and there was a scramble
 among manufacturers for business
 MT. Carnegie wrote to his partners:
 '1f I were czar, I would make rC
 dividends upon common stock, save
 all surplus and spent. it for a hooI
 and cotton tie mill, for wire and mai
 mills, for tube mills, for lines of boat: upon the lakes for our manufactured
