 We explained impatiently for the hun dredth time that those were the names of American citizens reported to be caught by the war in the parts of Bucovina and Galicia held by the Russians, and that the American minister in Bucharest had given us the list to investigate.

The executive ability he displayed so impressed his associates and the Morgan interests, who financed the merger that he was unanimously chosen president of the new company, much to his surprise, he has since declared. This first gave him a prominent part on the stage of steel. on which he has been the most striking figure ever since.
 Gary's ambition, like Carnegie's s. knew no bounds; but, where the little Scotch ironmaster worked to make the steel industry an empire over which he should reign supreme, the former farmboy dreamed of immense re- public of steel Where Carnegie sought to unify the control of the steel trade and bring it into his own hands, Gary sought to make it an industry owned by the people, and particularly by the workers.

 As late as the formation of this great organization the employer of labor and the employe dwelt at arms length; they were not agreed that the interests of each was identical, and that what ben efitted one benefited the other, and vice-versa; the result was a wide spread growing dissatisfaction often re- sulting in physical violence and other harsh measures, perhaps on the part of both interests, each one justifying the position taken, on the ground that fair treatment couldn't be secured under any circumstances from either party
