Steel Corporation Pleads
War Services i'll Suit
Points 10 Usefulness of Its Size
i'm Answer 10 Antitrust
Complaint

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-ln a sup
pleri iental brief fled to- day the United
States Steel Corporation asked the Su-
preme Court to decide the pending
antitrust case brought by the govern
ment under the Sherman net on the
basis OF the situation in the steel in
dustry growing out of the war instead
of upon conditions twenty years ago
The case Ys to be argued soon after the
court recOnveDes on October G. The
corporation pointed out that in 1901
ii produced 50l per cent of the steel,
while IN 1911 its proportion was only
45.7 per cent. "Can any one reasonably
contend that this of itself establishes
preponderanco in the sense of power
to control the industry?" She brief
asked
Pointing out that despite its
failure to have the suit decided
before the war the corporation
had proceeded to expend enormous
sums enlarging its plants. which
enabled it to meet "every requirement
of the government to the end OF the
war;" the brief asked:
Can any one doubt that the corpo-
ration's ability to meet il was due to
the very size and strength Of which
the govcrnm ent complains as concen-
trated economic power2 And ought
this power--so efficient and so useful
to the public in time Of stress and 50
easy ef public control-be ruthlcssly
destroyed on q mere theory that i

Pittsburgh was puzzled to- day by ar,

in all the newspapers urging the stfik-

the greater part Of the advertisements
was given over to quotations from

was to bring ab0ot ZACH things he
ought to be for it. All the steel com

Priest Takes Hand lin Strike
Much interest was aroused here by
u pastoral letter published by the Rev.
Father Thomas Dcvlin, pastor Of Holy
Gross Church. in which he declares
that the American Federation of Labor
Seems to have fallen into the hands
of the Bolsheviki and the Reds, turned
a deaf ear to the request of lis own
superior officer and appointed pro
fessed syndicalist. William z. Foster,
to organize the steel workers in the
great Pittsburgh district"
The letter concludes. after asking
why Foster Is not arrested, and assert
ing that his teachings are worse than
those Of Berkman, Goldman or any OF
the Russian Reds:
AS for the men Of the Holy Cross
have every confidence in their intel
hgence and good Judgment and have
no fear that they will be inflamed by
the sophistrics Of the radicals. but as
matter OF precautlon have given
warning that if any should follow the
leadership of Foster IT would be
equivalent to indorsing his doctrines,
and should regard lnem as apostates
from the Catholic faith, traitors to
their country and enemies to au-
thority.'

The only important shutdown re
ported o-day was that of the York

by strike of engineers. though its
other departments were working under

throws 1.50O men out of work and
makes the fifth and last OF the com
panys plants to close.
In general, the first week Of the great
steel strike ends with the industry
generally prostrated, but showing signs
of revival and with strong indications
OF g vigorous comeback the first of
next week, which may be offset by the
strike ordered in the plants Of the
