ROOSEVELT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR GROWTH OF TRUST (<? intlnuod From First t'age.) It' no proceeding on tin.- jju.it of the United Stntcs government were now pending against said corporation, but not for tho purpose of determining the questions Involved In the a lion hi ought by tho government." The government's suit is to discover if the United States Steel Corporation is "In violation of the Sherman anti? trust law." In summing up Its conclusions the majority report says: "The control of cur;.orations by thu Federal government us recommended by Mr. Carnegie, Judge Gary and oth? er*, is not approved. Whatever may i l ihe evil ro ults of the elimination mpetltlon from the steel business, It does not Justify such u remedy and cculd not be cured by it.

I "Thu enormous earnings of the Stect Corporation are due not to a degree i of integration of efficiency not possi j e,i by Its competitors, but to the owner ['Ship of oro reserves out of all prop.n tlon to It* output or requirements and to the control and operation of common i rrrlerS, division- o'. rat- a and the liberal allowances obtained from other concerns through inequitable and In? ordinate terminal allow..net.

The parties 111 j Jurlously affected ?>y such romblna I tlons should have access to the courts j and the benent of adequate and suf ' ficient remedies for wrongs Indicted by such combinations." f The legislation recommended by the I majority consists of tnree bills. One of them, commonly known as the Bran I dels bill. Is designed to give an in? jured party the right to institute suit to prevent the organization of a c- rn binatlon in restraint of trade. This bin also transfers the burden of proor to the defendant corporation lb show that It Is a combination within "rea? sonable restraint of trade.-' The bill recommended by the committee has long been pending before Congress,, having been Introduced by Senator La Follette and Representative Lenroot. Another bill would provide that "no person who is engaged as un ndl vldual or as a member of a partner? ship, er BS a director or other of? ficer, or nn employe of a corporation, !n the business, In whole or In pin. of manufacturing or selling ral'roivd cars or locomotives or railroad rails or structural steel, or mining end selling coal, shall act as a director or other officer or employe of any -r.ll r-idd company which conducts un in? ters t?te commerce business."

Representative McGlllIcuddy, uh\> studied the labor condition in the steel mills, found that ilu corporation was opposed to organized labor and pre? ll md foreign labor. HI "The result." he say.", "Is that about 50 per cent, of the unskilled laborers in tho steel and Iron business aro forelcners of these classes. With tne I benellt of a skilled American foreman. ! such a crew can work out result.-, in unskilled labor production. The pro tits of this system of labor employment . go to tho Steel Corp .ration, while the displaced American workman shifted WM, as best he could." in discussing the ownership of rail? roads and steamship lines by the- Steel I Corporation the report says: "There Is no question that public Interest requires a segregation of rail? roads and the Steel Corporation. The. control of such public agencies by an industrial corporation carries with it. in ud.litlon to the advantages which this record discloses, possibilities of even greater abuses." Pnnlc w no Artificial. The part that United States Steel,' t!,. absorption of the Tennessee Coal nnd Iron Railroad Company, President Roosevelt and Wall Street financiers played In the panic of 1307 are cover? ed In the report, and the Insinuation Is made that the panic was an artificial one designed for the benefit of the Steel Corporation. In Its comment the committee says: ' "How a pan:-, which had persistently I resisted the combined efforts of the I Federal government and John D. Rockefeller and J. P. Morgan & Co., and remained In unabated fury after Morgan and F.'ockcfeller had turned loose 860,000.000 and the Federal J Treasury $25,000,000 more should sun j tienly he stilled by this manipulation of Grant B.

A- Iron Company's stock, it sub? side,! instantly and permanently." ! Tho committee reports thai on Octob ' er 26. 1907. President Roosevelt Issued ) a statement congratulating Secretary I Cortelyou and the business men who 'headed off the panic. The committee j says of this: "Up until the tlmo of this Interview the Steel Corporation owed its success and Its permanency to the power and j the skill of the financiers who had created und the iron masters who had directed it" operations. Since that time Its dominance has been due in noi small measure to the sudden, lll-coh ?Idered, ar.d arbitrary flat of the chief executive.. "The President's refusal to Interfear was an absolute warrant to proceed. A suggestion from him to tho Attorney.* Gchoraj was equivalent to a command; nnd upon a refusal of the Attorney* Genoral to act, the corporation was Immune. This is admitted by colonel Roosevelt, ami he unhesitatingly as? sumes full responsibility in tho mat? ter." The report occupies more than 200 pages and much of It is criticism of tho methods of the trusts. Andrew Car? negie's steel-malting methods and his ill s.re to extend his business at e held out as the motives which compelled J. Plerpont Morgan and his associates t" oi ganlzo the t leol trust.
