STEEL MERGER NOT
 MONOPOLY, IS CLAIM
Officials Deny Any Intention of
 Violating Law

New York, May .. - Denial dhat the proposed merge of six independ- cnt steel companies will be either Il monopoly or n combination In re- straint of trade, was made today in q statement issued by Thomas l.. Chad bourne. counsel for the interested companies.
 The statement was given out as a result of charges made in congress by Senator La Toilette in connection with his resolution authorizing the federal trade commission 10 investi- gate this merger and that of the Bethlehem Steel Corp, and Lacka- wanna Steel Co.
 There is no thought in connection with the proposed merger of the Brier Hill Steel Co.,, Inland Steel Co.,, Mid- vale Steel and Ordnance Co.,. Repub lie Iron and Steel Co.,. the Steel and Tube Co. of America and the Goungs- town Sheet and TubesCo, of America and the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co.," MT. Chadbourn said, "of Nioat- ing either the sherman law or the Clayton act ... .s
 "The aggregate rated ingot capacity of these companies is approNlmately only 16 per cent of the total rated in got capacity Of the United States while their total production in 1920 was approximately only 15 per cent of the total production of the country in that yeax An operation of the properties Of the six companies as a unit will result in a very substantial reduction in costs, which will enhance rather than restrain competitors. No monopoly will be effected nor Will there be any restraint of trade.
 There is no basis whatsoever for the assertion that it is proposed 10 act in concert, by agreement or other wise with the U. & Steel Corp, or any other competitor"

Secretary Hughes Presides at
 Opening Session Today
American Secretary Calls Attention of Delegates To Great Opportunity To Set Good Example To World.

Washington, May 15.-The confer ence Of Chile and Peru over the long disputed problem of Tacna-Arica was formally opened by Secretary Hughes today with prediction that it would not only herald a new day of inter national amity in the western hemi- sphere but would furnish to the whole world "a needed and inspiring exam pie Of the practice Of peace"
 Predicts Success
 Both the time and place Of meet ing, declared the head of the United States state department, were auspi- cous for the healing of old wounds md the effacement of whatever diff ference may exist in LatinAmerica." " He recalled that the PenAmerican union building where the negotiations are to take place recently had been the scene of great decisions on the part of the powers who came together there during the Washington arms conference and expressed his convic- tion that the Chilean Peruvian dis cussions would be characterized by a similar triumph for the processes of reason"
 Better Days Ahead
 There could be no more agreeable harbinger of a better day and of a lasting peace upon this hemsphere.' he said, than the convincing of this conference Of the representatives of the republics of Chile and Peru. congratulate you upon the high pur- pose and the noble and conciliatory spirit which have animated both giv- ernments in the approach to this meeting and upon the earnest desire which both have manifested that through this friendly intercourse a mutually satisfactory settlement may be found.
 Permit me to express not only that hope but the firm conviction that your zealous and well directed endeavors dominated by this friendly spirit will be crowned with complete success"
 The secretary read the invitation to the conference sent to the Chilean and Peruvian governments last January at the personal decision of President Harding and continued;
 Reason ys. Force
 You have here the privilege and
 
 responsibility of exceptional oppor- tunity. Perhaps no event has ever been contemplated by the American republics with deeper interest and more fervent hope.
 The only relief for troubled world is in resort to the processes of req son in lieu of those of force. Direct and candid interchanges, a sincere de- sire to make an amicable adjustment the promotion of mutual understand ing and the determination to avoid unnecessary points of difference in or der that attention may be centered upon what is fair and practical - these are of the essence of the pro- cesses of reason.
 Pathway DD Peace
 "The pathway to an enduring con- cord and to the prosperity of mu- tual helpfulness lies open before you. What is done here will have a lasting effect upon the security and happiness of all peoples inasmuch as the sue cess of this conference through your agreement will not only demonstrate your wisdom and lofty conceptions of duty, but will furnish the world with a needed and inspiring example of the practice of peace.
 "The government of the United States gives you welcome and God speed"

Mi. whalen as 1.-The Big chief OF this
bis business"
Frapkenberg had testified Tuesday
that although he put up all the money
and did all the work he paid out two.
thirds Of the profits Of his company,
the West Farms Bus Corporation. TO
two other men who had no financial or
other interest in the concern.
On Tuesday tho witness sullenly
denied that those two men-Christian
Borchardt, a deputy sheriff OF the
Bronx. and Louis Karscb Of Mount
Vernon, n. Y.-~were dummies tor
Thomas II. O'NciiI. Under Sheriff OF
Bronx County and Tammany lead .
er in that county.
Yesterday Mr. Shearn produced
two checks, admitted by the witness
70 be those made out by him for two
thirds of the profits OF his concern
from Sept. Is TO Oct. II last, bearing
the Endorsement OF Thomas II. O'Neill
and OF the estate of Arthur II Muir
ply, late Tammany leader of the
Bronx.
But in the face of these checks the
witness stubbornly insisted that
neither O'Neill nor the Murphy estate
had any interest in his bus concern.
AS the trap narrowed abou' him, how
ever, he admitted having often paid
the checks over to o'Neill "whcn the
two boys weren't around and as
they were made out 20 Cash" had no
knowledge or undert1nding OF what
O'Nelll did with them.
The profits from lIis bus business
for the five months IL has been in
operation have amounted 10 Sl7, 7,l50.
on total investment OF $50, 900. Of
which two thirds apparently found its
way into the accounts Of O'Neill and
ihe Murphy estate.
Mr.. Whalcu's testimony on the
stand WAS of scarcely less interest
Between thrusts at the commission,
at Gov. Miller and Republicans in
general he admitted:
That II ID OF no interest 20 him
whether or not the bus lines are being
handed out to political favorites.
That he was responsible for the Or
der throwing of the bus lines every
driver or owner who had not voted in
the last municipal election.
That the testimony of Louis Riedl,
bus operator. 10 the effect that he had
been cheat ed out OF his franchise to
operate buses in this city after refus-
ing to pay $25, 900 togo TO the big
Chipf" was false and that Riedl Is a
har and a peTjurer.
That he (Whalen) had never heard
Of the $685. 900 bribery incident, and
The only reason Riedl was deprived q
his permit to operate buses was be-

cause he had failed 10 produce the
buses as he had contracted 10 do un-
der the permit granted TO him by the
Board OF Estimate and Apportion-
ment.
That the only requirement for en-
ployees Of his department, that OF
Plant and Structures, is that they be
good Democrats
'Do you approve OF this policy Of
| cancelling permits and Of transferring
people from good lines 10 poor lines
because they do not vote or did not
vote for Mayor Hylan?" he was asked.
Nov, let me clear YOU up on
that situation" said Commissioner
Whalen, leaning forward in his seat
and pointing n finger at his ques-
toner. II Issued an order some time
in March that all bus owners that
were not citizens should be swept off
the lines.
THAT wns probably the best order
ever issued. ! have not bit of re-
spect for anybody that does not ex-
erclse the right OF suffrage"
80 then you don't permit on your
lines any one who doesn't vote, or
who is not a citlzen?" Mr. Shearn
broke in
IL do not.
What has it TO do with mans
ability TO run a bus here in New York
properly whether he votes or not?"
The civic pride and patriotism OF
the Commissioner of Plant and Struc-
lures couldn't be a party to a propo-
sition OF that kind"
Can the civic pride OF the Com
missioner be a party 70 such u thing
as this Tom O'Neill- Arthur Murphy
estate transaction that you heard
this afternoon? That does not touch
your civic pride at allE
mo, because 1t doesn't hit the in
terests Of the people. am interested
in that which interests the people"
The investigation then turned TO
the Ricdl testimony and the S25, 900
b-.be charge. Mr. Whalen said he had
never seen Riedl before John Nc
Cullum. Chief OF the Bureau of Fran
chiscs for the Board OF Estimate,
brought Riedl TO him to obtain "a
permit for Riodl to store his buses
under the Williap'sburg Bridge.
81 did absolutely nothing to inter
fere with Mr.. Rledls carrying out Ills
contract because Mr.. Riedl did moth
ing to cary out his contract with the
city" Mr. Whalen said. TT was a
mistake to have granted a permit to
such an irresponsible individual
He then called Rledl "a perjurer
and liar"
When Mr.. Whalen concluded his
testimony Mr.. Shearn and Chairman

part.
