Don’t you believe it is more than a dollar a ton?” asked Chairman Payne. “I do,” replied Judge Gary. Its Advantages. “The corporation, which has a decided advantage in the quality and quantity of ore and an advan tage in owning its own lines of transportation by lake and rail, can naturally manufacture pig iron cheaper. I think there is r.o doubt | petit that tho difference is more than two dollars.” It had been testified nt a pre vious tariff hearing that the United States Steel Corporation can produce pig iron at a cheaper cost than most j ’ "»| other steel companies, hut informa-; inf tion as to the cost of production abroad had no’t been obtainable.

Judge Gary was asked by Mr. Payne to give the cost of manufac turing steel rails and gave the fol lowing figures for rail making by the Bessemer process: Cost Steel Balls. The manufacturing cost of pig j iron for one ton, of stool rails is j $15.06; for tho cost of converting pig iron into Ingots $2.88; the cost of converting Ingots into rails $3.22; for depreciation 84c; for adminis tration and tnxes, 81c, making a total of $22.81 as tho cost of pro ducing one ton of steel rails. Judge Gary said that - this cost is cheaper than tho cost at which tho com petitors of. the steel corporation can produce rails. Ho sold thnt. the United States Steel Corporation pro duced about. 50 per efint of tho steel rails manufactured during the Inst five years. Judge Gary gave tho prices of rails In foreign countries. The. domestic price in Germany, lie said, Is $29.02 a ton, and the export price Is $22.20; In Great Britain, $27.98 and $23.81; in France there is a difference of $8.
