u. S. STEEL ACCUSED
ON HOUSE FLOOR
Beedy Says Corporation Seeks to
Monopolize Shipping
of Burlap.

BY the Associated Press.
The United States Steel Corporation
was accused in the House yesterday by
Representative Beedy, Republican,
Maine, with working hand in hand
with foreign shipping lines in an at
tempt to control the movement of iutes
and burlaps from India. He also at
tackled Congress for what he said was
its failure to provide adequate funds
for the Shipping Board.
Beedy said American firms pur-
chased 100000 tons of jutes and bur-
laps year from India and that the
steel corporation had endeavored to
keep part of the traffic from Amer
ican lines. He charged the steel cor
poration with "selfishness" in making
an offer for the government lines to
India, which. he said. had been allocat-
ed by the Shipping Board to the Roose-
welt line in an attempt to build up
private operation OF American tonnage
in this service.
He contended that the steel corpora
ton sought to acquire a monopoly Of
American flag tonnage in this trade.
