DIO STEEL TRUSTS!
"President Farrell, of U, S, Steel
Corporation, Says It Is an
Industrial Benefactor
NEW YORK, May 13.—James A. Far-
rel, president of the United States
Steel corporation, resumed the witness
stand today for the defense in the
hearing-s of the government suit to dis
solve the corporation. He pictured the
corporation as an industrial benefac
tor.
He said that were It not for the
policy of the corporation to do a “gen
eral business regardless of 'conditions,”
the cotton .crop of thb United States
this year could not be marketed. He ex
plained that the corporation supplied
practically all the cotton ties used for
-binding cotton baled in the country,
, : and that there was no profit in their
manufacture.
“Our competitors.” he said, “have
shown no desire to manufacture cotton
ties, so it devolved upon us to supply
the demand. It is not an attractive
-business, but last year we supplied the
compress men in the south with 1.900,-
000 bundles at 85 cents a bundle. If
we should stop manufacture, the cotton
crop this year would lie on the ground.
“The government at the time of the
recent floods.” he continued, “needed
steel piling to strengthen the levee at
New Orleans. We got a rush order for
615,000 tons on Tuesday and In spite
of the fact that we were very busy we
delivered it on Tuesday next, eighty-six
hours before the 1iigh waters arrived.
We always give preference' to govern
ment work..”
The cost of production of steel was
greater in America than in European
countries. Mr. Farrell testified. He said
the wages paid abroad were 37 per cent
to 38 per cent less than here, freight
rates were lower and shipping facilities
for export trade were better.
Pig iron could be manufactured in
India and laid down in Calcutta at $5.88
a ton. he added, and there was now
under way in a sailing vessel from that
pofrt to San Francisco the first cargo
of Indian pig iron ever brought to this
country. The freight was $5.50 a ton
and under the new duty the tariff 11
cents. Thus the pig iron would be laid
down in San Francisco at a cost of
about $11.50. Chinese pig iron rould be
laid down in San Francisco under the
new duty for $10.78. The present mar
ket price for pig iron on the Pacific
coast is $21.50.
“Did you tell Mr. Underwood about
that?” asked Judge Dickinson, counsel
for the government.
“I don't think it would make any
difference with him.” smiled the wit
ness.
CONGRESSMAN LINDQUIST WANTS
PURE FOOD SHOE BILL PASSED
Wants Government to Require
Correct Labels on "Leather 1 '
Shoes Built of Paper and
"Silks” Made of Gun-Cotton
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, May 13.—With
“leather” shoes made of paper, and
“silk” goods made of gun cotton, Con
gressman F. O. Lindquist, of Michi
gan, believes he will be able to con
vince doubting legislators that his pure
leather and fabric measure should be
enacted into law. After months of
preparation, Mr. Lindquist announced
today that the final touches had been
put on his bill, and that it would be
introduced immediately. As soon as it
is referred to the committee on inter
state and foreign commerce, he pro
poses to begin a campaign to secure its
early consideration. The members of
that committee have not been appointed,
but they will be named within the next
few weeks.
Mr. Lindquist has prepared an elab
orate display as an argument for his
bill. He has soles of adulterated leather,
which crack almost in two when they
are bent. Beside them he has soles of
the same weight, which are made of
solid leather, but which are so pliable
thpy can be bent double without injury.
He has cross sections of shoes, show
ing that some heavily advertised
brands are made for the most part of
paper. The counters are of paper, all
but the last two layers of the heels are
paper, and even the soles are more than
half paper.
FILLED WITH GLUCOSE.
Mr. Lindquist says he is prepared
to show that many light cheap leath
ers are “filled” with glucose, so as to
make them heavy and salable as sub
stantial goods. He claims that the ma
terial with which the goods are treated
costs but 3 cents a pound. The addi
tional weight brings the dealer 40 cents
or a profit of 37 cents because of the
adulteration.
There are many “fakes,” which Mr.
Lindquist says he will show the com
mittee. He has sole leather made of
fine bits of leather, pressed together in
such a way that it passes for a solid
piece. He has paper soles, highly pol
ished which deceive the sophisticated.
Mr. Lindquist claims that some of
the worst deceptions are found in the
so-called “silks” of today. He contends
that one concern, which for years sup
plied American markets with “silks”
made of gun cotton on the European
side, has opened a factory on this side
of the Atlantic and is doing a big busi
ness.
WANTS TO LABEL GOODS.
It is the Michigan man’s idea to guar
antee pure leathers and fabrics to the
consuming public today In much the
same way that they are guaranteed pure
food. He proposes that every garment,
which enters interstate commerce, shall
be labeled, the label showing whether
it is the “real” article or a counter
feit. If a suit is of pure wool he pro
poses the label shall tell the story; if
it is not, then the label must tell what
part of it is of cotton or shoddy.
Mr. Lindquist, who was elected on
the mail order plan, says he has sent
out nearly 2,000,000 pieces of literature
on his biil. He says he has covered ev
ery congressional district with requests
that the people living in * them write
to their congressman ir. support of the
bill.
“I have the promise of over 6.000
women’s clubs to co-operate with me,”
said Mr. Lindquist. “I am satisfied that
the countrywide interest will result in
the passage of this bill. Our govern
ment has long maintained a department
for the purpose of testing and analyzing
the various products purchased under
contract for government supplies. This
is done to protect the government
against graudulent practices and coun
terfeit goods. The public demands the
same protection.”
ILL SORTS AF TIGERS
HIT BY THIS DECISION
CHARGES OF PEONAGE IN
W. VIRGINIA COAL FIELDS
WASHINGTON. May 13.—Charges of
peonage, "medieval feudalism,and op-
—qpression of the workers in the Paint
Creek and Cabin Creek coal fields a of
t’West Virginia were laid before Senator
*2 Kern today by representatives of the
'"State Federation of Labor and Miners’
unions.
The senator expected to use the
charges in support of h^s resolution for
a congressional investigation of the sit-
_ uatlon. Conies of resolutions adopted
? by the miners, declaring “a Baptist
church could not be organized Without
consent of the forty-three mine man-
, agers,” were left with the senator.
■FOUR TRAINMEN INJURED
IN HEAD-ON COLLISION
. MOBILE. Ala., May 13.—Passenger
_ train No. 103 of the Mobile and Ohio,
' - Montgomery branch and an extra freight
train collided head-on at Vicks, Ala.,
late yesterday afternoon, both engines
being practically demolished. The crews
' of both locomotives jumped when it
was seen that a collision was inevitable,
» and four were injured, two seriously.
The accident was caused by the crew
-jof the freight train overlooking the
.-.schedule of the passenger, which was
"-running about fifteen jninutes late.
Traffic was tied up on the line until
early this morning. The passengers on
the local were badly shaken up, but
none was injured.
MR IN EARNEST ON FEES
Recommends Bill to Have All
County Offices Placed on
Salary Basis
ROME, Ga., Bay 13.—A war on the
fee systejn in county offices has been
inaugurated by the Floyd county grand
jury. In the presentments just made
there is a recommendation that the rep
resentatives from this county introduce
a bill transferring all county offices
from the fee to the salary system. The
example of Fulton county in this re
gard is cited as a model.
Inasmuch as Floyd is one of the
largest counties in th£ state, and the
fees of the tax collector and other of
ficials considerably exceed any salary
they would be apt to receive, it is ex
pected that the officeholders and their
cpterie of friends will resist before the
legislature.
The members of the grand jury ap
pear to be thoroughly in earnest, and
have appointed a committee to take the
matter in hand. They ffEblare they do
not intend for their recommendations
to be ignored, as has been done with the
previous grand juries’ recommendations,
and some lively presentments are ex
pected.
COUSIN’OF GENERAL BELL
IS CHARGED WITH MURDER
CINCINNATI, May 13.— J. B„ Beil, a
"traveling salesman of Greenville, Miss.,
and said to be a cousin of General J.
Franklin Bell, of the United States
army, was charged with murder by the
Cincinnati police, after the death last
night of John A. Hoover, an attendant
at a sanitarium at College Hill. Bell,
who was a patient at the sanitarium,
hit Hoover with a croquet mallet.
The police believe Bell is suffering
from a severe mental derangement and
the charge of murder will probably
not be pressed. •
The man, however, may be tried by
the probate court.

place. Then he raced with his troubles
to the police, who are instituting a
search for the missing pictures.

time iand effort.

Supreme Court Holds That
Forgotten Statute Applies
Without Distinction
Another bludgeon was placed in the
hands of the militant prohibitionists of
Georgia Tuesday morning by the state
supreme court when it upheld a strict
application of the statute, enacted sev
eral years ago. under which any citi
zen is permitted to sue for the abate
ment of a “blind tiger” as a nuisance.
The general public has heard little of
that statute. Now it becomes suddenly
quite important.
In effect, the supreme court held that
a. liquor establishment conducted in vio
lation of law is- by reason of that fact
a “blind tiger,” and therefore a nuisance
within the contemplation of the statute.
Judge Walter G. Charlton, in the su
perior court at Savannah, had charged
a Jury down there that if the establish
ment of Simmons & Co., in Savannah,
was operating openly and above board,
it could not be held to be a “blind
tiger;” that it must be shown to have
operated surreptitiously and furtively in
order to be branded as a “blind tiger”
and os be subjected to the specific nuis-
I ance abatement statute.
Under Judge Charlton's charge, the
members of the jury found that Sim
mons Co. were not maintaining a
puisance. The petitioners besought a
new trial, which the judge refused; and
they appealed to the state supreme
court, which upholds them and re
verses the judge, ordering a new trial
on the ground that Judge Charlton’s
charge was in error.
Any sale of liquor in violation of law
Is a blind tiger operation, says the high
court, and nothing more has to be estab
lished to identify it as such.
Seaborn Wright, of Rome, one of the
foremost prohibition leaders of Georgia,
came down to Atlanta and argued this
case in behalf of the petitioners, Thomp
son et al., before the state supreme
court.
