Herbert laid aside his cello and wrote
tho score of IL real comic opera; Harry

ACQUISITION MATTER OF
LIFE AND DEATII TO TRUST

=
Investigations have made the facts
stand clear. The Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company made rails twice as
good" as United STATES Steel rails. and
was getting the business. y year and
half before the merger. Vicc-prcsi-
dent Bope. OF the Carnegie Steel Com
pany. the largest subsidiary OF the
Steel Corporation. Informed his fellow
directors. In executive session, the
minutes OF which were subsequently
disclosed. that the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company was making an OPEN
heart rail- which was twice az good
as the Bessemer rail. and the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company was a dam
Gerous rival. This expert opinion was
borne out BY Professor Burgland who
said In his monograph on the Steel
Corporation that the acquisition OF the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company was
a matter OF life and death to the
trust. Also In June following the mcr-
ger. Frank Munsey. in AN article in
Munsey'n Magazine. which was o. E.'d
by Judge Gary. estimated the mineral
deposits alone of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company at 500. coo. 900. the
Steel Corporation having bought the
whole property for $4,000 900.
The panic OF 1907. brough, about by
frenzied finance, gave the monopoly
Its opportunity Even the sight Of
the country In ruin did not move the
financiers from their purpose. AT n
given moment the United States Steel
Corporation sprung its trap. and cap

Company.
But the law forbade the merger
There was the Department of Justice
to fear. So Fr!ck and Gary. flying to
Washington by special train. won from
President Roosevelt a solemn promise
not To prosecute.
Four years later. when a Democratic
House forced President Taft to order
the prosecution OF the Steel Trust. the
government was compelled 70 alcge
that Mr.. Roosevelt had been deceived
by Gary and Frick
There is no question as to the cx-
tent OF the disaster that President
Wilson avcrted, for "A national trans
portation strike would have destroyed
industry And he avcrtcd il By the
enactment into law OF principl. in
which he believed and or which society
approves.

Frustrated the nation. and to give the
Steel Corporation its opportunity.
President Roosevelt set law aside. and
gave full power of extortion To a great
monopoly.

Demon Rum and liquor dealers were
scourged at a mass meeting last night in
Metropolitan NJ. E Church, where DR..
Clarence True Wilson, temperance sec
retary Of the Methodist Church. and
DR.. E. c. Dinwiddie. of the Anti-SaIoon
League, declared Uncle Sam aided the
traffic by GLOWING liquor advertisements
to go through the mails.
The speakers were introduced by Sena-
tor Wesley L Jones, Of Washington, who
told of prohibition victories In the north
west.
DR.. Dinwiddie spoke for the bill now
pending in Congress to make the Dis
trict dry" He said citizens of all the
States are vitality concerned in its pas
sage. He decried the referendum pro-
posal advanced in the city, but said he
would be perfectly willing to leave it
to the peoples judgment If women were
allowed to vote.
If women could vote the District would
go dry tomorrow" said DR.. Dinwiddie in
conclusion.
Both speakers urged prohibition In the
dependencies of the United States, par
ticularly in Hawaii, where they said the
best local moral laws exist. He said the
inhabitants Of Hawaii have no voice in
the abolition Of liquor, or It would have
gone dry long ago.
