through Schwab, and the rela-
tiOns between the two men did
not improve.
At about the same time
the public began to lose con-
fidence in the stock of the
United States Steel Corpor-
alton. 1t had been floated at a
high price, but it fell to nearly
SS share. That was in March,
1903. The next month Schwab
resigned as president of the Steel
Trust.

business on account of my

day from stockholders and others remon-
strating with him. He came home and
suffered nervous breakdown.
Ayear or two earlier Schwab had bought
outright with his own money the Bethle-
hem Steel Company at South Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania. 1t was not large concern,
but it had made speciality of armor-
plate. No one paid much attention to
Schwab's purchase, although Morgan and
other directors of the Steel Trust did not
like the idea of its president owning
rival company.
@Your time,' he was told, @belongs to
the Steel Corporation, and you'll have to
give this thing up
Schwab looked around for purchaser,
and found some amateur promoters who
wanted to organize shipbuilding trust.
He told them the Bethlehem was Just
what they wanted for their trust-a
strong, rich steel plant with which they
could manufacture armor-plate and build
battleships complete in their own ship
yards. The promoters jumped at the
chance and paid Schwab an enormous
price. But they did not know how to
organize trust or operate one, and it
failed.
There was terrific tangle. Schwab
got back his Bethlehem Company intact,
but only after long investigation which
disclosed many of the methods of high
finance and left bad impression on the
public. j. P. Morgan became involved

great Homestead works going
after the astute, silent Frick had
defeated the workmen on a five
months battlefield-the Water
loo Of organized labor? Had he
not developed the armor-plate
business to its immensely profit
able basis?
So Schwab, full of youth and
vitality, tasting life at its full,
set out for Europe. 1t was a
triumphal march. He was re-
ceived by the Austrian Emperor,
and breakfasted with Prince
Metternich. He was received
by King Edward, and in Italy
attracted more attention than
king or Pope. Then the corre-

was recently offered S5O,OOO,OOO for his
stock, with the privilege of managing the
company for ten years longer.
Schwab was made president of the
United States Steel Corporation when he
was only thirty-nine years old. The year
before, as president of the Carnegie Steel
Company, his share in the profits was
81, 100000. At thirty he was superin-
tendent of both the Edgar Thompson and
the Homestead steel works, said to be the
only instance in which Andrew Carnegie
ever permitted one man to operate two
of his plants.
Some one once said that Schwab had
risen step by step: hut there never were
such steps before or since. When he was
nineteen years old Schwab was clerking
at five dollars week in grocery store
at Braddock, Pennsylvania. One day
Captain W. r. Jones, superintendent of
the steel works, walked in. The young

"Can you drive spikes?"
asked Captain Jones.
Il can drive anything" said
Schwab.
In six months he was chief of
the engineering corps for which
he had driven stakes, and a few
months later became superin-
tendent. Schwab moved up so
fast that it was enough to turn
his head. He was the first to sug-
gest the formation of the United
States Steel Corporation. Hewas

Schwab made most people smile.
"Sure," they would say. "He
was the young man who was the
first president OF the Steel Trust.
Prosperity went to his head,
and j. p. Morgan kicked him
out. He has a little company
of his own now, but l guess the
United States Steel Corporation
won't do any worrying"
But no one can remember
any longer how he used to laugh
at Schwab. The former scoffer
only wishes he had bought some
of his stock when it was selling
at Is or 20, so he could have
sold il out at GOO. On reliable
authority it is said that Schwab

heard of.
Charles M. Schwab, the steel-maker, is
the greatest example in modern industry
of man who came back. He was
brilliant success as a man of thirty,
phenomenal. meteoric success. He was
accorded especial honors by King Edward
and Emperor Franz Joseph. Then came
the slump; and, relatively speaking, he
went down and out. More than ten years
of grinding, hard work followed and to-
day? To-day Schwab is the greatest in
dustrial figure in the whole world, and he
is only fifty-three years old.
There are so many fascinating chapters
in this mans life that those who read it
ming or the end. But his early career was
lot more dazzling than his steady, un-
eventful process of breaking loose from
the Down and Out Club. People don't
help a man much or take much interest
in his rise until he gets there.
Charles M. Schwab is president, direct
ing genius, and largest stockholder in the

They made young Schwab president and
gave him S2S,0OO,000 of stock. Schwab
felt pretty good. His salary was to be
about Sl,0O0,OO0 year. There seemed
no further worlds to conquer. He was the
