THE IIAKRE DAILY TIMES, IJAHHE, VT., FRIDAY.. MAY 16, 1913.- A TRUST NOT A TRUST Farrell Continues Talk United States Steel Corporation of COMPETITORS GROW STRONGER Steel and Iron Bars, He ys, Are 72 Per Cent. Independent Sayj New York, May 10. James A. Farrell, president of tho United States Steel cor poration, began yesterday his fourth con aecutive day of testimony as a witness for the defence in the government' dis solution suit against the corporation as an illegal combination. He continued his description of competitor of the cor poration to support his contention that these concerns have grown stronger since the organization of the corporation in 1901. The corporation, according to an , exhibit submitted by tho witness, owns cnly 27.3 per cent, of the steel and iron bar capacity of the country as against 72.7 per cent, owned by independent con cerns. Answering the charge that the Tennes see Coal 4. Iron company was taken over by the corporation, not to stop the fi nancial panic of 1!)7, but because it was a dangerous competitor, the witness de fied that the company was in a position to produce rails economically and testi fied that it never competed with the corporation for foreign business, lie ex plained that the rails which the company sold to the Harriman lines cost $3.43 a ton more to manufacture than the price for which thev were sold. Some of the rails sold by the company were defect ive, he said, and had to be taken back. "The Tennessee Coal & Iron company was not a competitor of the Northern mills," said Mr. Farrell. "Its production of rails was insufficient to make an im pression on the northern market." The corporation had spent 23,500,000 on the plant to improve it since its ac quisition, he added. Convict labor there had been entirely done away with, as well as the system of "shaving" the wages of negro employees. Taking up the question of prices in the steel trade, Mr. Farrell said that they were gov erned solely by market conditions. Mr. Farrell said that the corporation pub lished price lists which were some times adhered to for considerable periods. He cited the fact that bars had been selling at 1.4 cents a pound since last July. , "Does that indicate that competitive conditions do not exist f" he was asked. "Only in the minds of theorists and economists," replied the witness. "There Blood's IPfiDDs our constipation, biliousness and all liver 111.

Further, the resignation of Sir Gerard Augustus Low'ther as ambassador to Turkey, and the report that Sir Arthur Nicholson, permanent head of the for eign office, i likely to retire, while Lord Morley is known to be an advocate ol a German entente, all seem, according to the paper, to point to a special mission.
