was Taylor who shattered the
strong anti-union position of Big
Steel by recognizing and signing
with the CLIO steel workers
union.
There is a close companionship
between Taylor and his wife, who
is reputed to share his social
philosophy. The recognition of
the steel union by U. S. Steel is
credited in part to her.
Toward international problems
Taylor brings the methods of the
businessman because Il have to,
for these are the only methods I
know" In the summer of 1888 he
went to Europe at President Roo
sevelt's request to try to solve the
refugee problem.
Recipe for Success
The diplomats who met with
him at Evian France, at first
found him somewhat pompous.
But he impressed them with his
sincerity. The basis of his Evian
approach was this: There is
much diplomacy in business es-
pecially in selling. In both bust
ness and diplomacy you have to
make it palatable attractive to
the other man"
Now he is going to the Vatican
to try to make peace "palatable,
attractive" to warning Europe.

man, Taylor led - still leads - a
rich and full life. In New York
he lives on "millionaires row. in
the East 70's. He has Colonial
country house on Long Island,
and a villa in Italy.
Plays and Travels
He plays as much tennis as he
can find time for, goes yachting
on Long Island Sound, reads a
great deal, studies philosophy
travels extensively. His name is
associated with various charities
and endowmnts. He backs the
Metropolitan opera financially,
goes to its presentations. He has
small but choice art collection,
in which Gothic items predomin-
ate. A member of many important
clubs, he rarely is seen in any OF
them.
A warm, genial, interested host,
he delights in giving large dinners
at which his guests are served
choice champagne, although he
himself neither smokes nor drinks.
Taylors conception of society
is rather different from the one
usually associated with bust
ness tycoon. He believes in pub
lie relief on a national scale and
in the responsibility of business
toward society.
He advocates maintenance of
the maximum domestic market
for industry through a system Of
high wages and sterilization Of

CHICAGO, April 2.-Pressure of
selling as grain dealers placed
hedges against abnormally large
supplies of wheat coming to market
at this time of year depressed wheat
prices today.
The market attempted to extend
yesterdays gains with an early up
turn of as much as five-eighths of a
cent, based on pessimistic crop and
weather conditions, but fell back
before the close and registered small
net losses for the day. Many grain
dealers who absorbed terminal mar
ket receipts, much of which was
wheat which has been stored under
Government loans. were forced to
place hedges in the futures market
to protect themselves in case of re-
duced prices during their ownership
of the commodity.
