QUEER PROCEEDING.

YESTERDAYS announcement that the DEPARTMENT
OF Justice had asked the Supreme court to rehear the
governments suit against the United States Steel corpor-
alton, commonly called the Steel Trust case naturally
caused Hurry in the stock markets. but it will leave the

to last until knowledge of what the Attorney General

the record now stands the Department of Justice ap-
pears anything but favorable light When the gov
eminent lost the oil land leasing cases decided recently
there was general expectation that there would be an
immediate effort 10 secure rehearng The public felt
that somehow justice had missed FIRE in this matter and that
the people of the United States were being exploited for
the benefit of oil companies which were far from
scrupulcus about their business methods But Attorney
General Palmer decided that there was 10 be no appeal
nthB action and the oil companies were permitted to grab
huge OIL Territory at the very moment that the governments
OF Europe and especially the government of Great Britain
were casting their eyes all the globe with the idea of
getting control for their and public defense needs of
cllands
On the other hand. in the recent finding that the Steel
corporation did not exist in violation of the Sherman law
public opinion almost UNANIMOUSLY agreed that the courts

outcome OF this long drawn suit seemed to be completely
satisfying to the public and it said many newspapers
and by many business that while there were some as
poets Of the organization and early development of the Steel
corporation and of the merging of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company with the big concern, that perhaps were
irregular the corporation had been conducted on such
