RAD|UM KING IS
CHILLED FOR
TRUST PLAN
Gigantic Monopoly Scheme
Blocked by House Bills,
Says Congressman.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Intima-
lions by Representative Austin. of
Texas, that radium conservation bills
were introduced only as a means of
heading off a gigantic scheme to mo-
nopolize radium producing lands of
America were given in an acrimonious
discussion between Austn and Jo-
seph NJ. Flannery, of Ptttsburg, be-
fore the House Committee on Mines
and Mining to-day. F1annery, who is
president Of the Standard Chemical
Company, the only producers of ra-
dlum in the United States, was bel
ligerent In his attitude toward the
majority of the committee.
81 don't know whether YOU are
going to grab these lands away from
the prospectors and pioneers or not"
FIannery declared. You have no
right to it. We have put all the value
into these claims
81 would not trust my own party
nor one of the disciples" said Austin
with the privilege of getting a mo-
nopoly Of control over these radium
lands. We are going to see that you
don't get one, either"
Magnate's Hot Retort.
We'll, | don't know about that" re-
torted Flannery, pounding the table
with his fists. That's not so sure
yet"
Chairman Foster opened the days
hearing by reading a telegram which
tIannery sent to Denver news paper,
urging a newspaper crusade against
the withdrawal of radium lands which
has been proposed by Secretary Of
the Interior Lane. This shot at Elan
merry was followed by the reading of
articles from circulars sent by Elan
merry to American Consuls, describ-
ing the success of the business of
his company, and declaring that it
was ready to sell radium water. ra-
dunn congresses and various radium
salts.
Foster wanted to know whether
Flannery had proved the curative val
ne OF radium waters. The radium
king replied that he had not claimed
that they cured anything, but refer
red to one of the physicians whom he
had brought from Pittsburg to give
information on that point

Representative Foster, Representa-

resentative Austin tried in vain to

he had paid to prospectors for the 80

mitted that he was subject to the hui
