OMAN NATURE TO BLAME SAYS CANNY SCOT 'Anyone Is Justified in Doing Every thing Possible Under the Law," Says Carnegie in Admitting" That Law Must Keep Prices Down. COMPARES TAFT'S IDEAS WITH COLONEL ROOSEVELT'S Carnegie Declares That the Tariff Can In No Way Affect the Price of Steel. ; WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 12. Drawing a comparison between Colo no! Theodore Koceovott's conception of a corporation and that possessed by President Tnft, Andrew Carnegla today, for the third consccutiro day, was Interrogated by tho Stanley house committee investigating the stool trust After admitting that a law must be Invoked to prevent ex cessive prices on Bteol commodities, Carnegie said: "You cannot trust human nature. Any one In justified In doing every thing possible under tho laV. It Is certain that sooner or later the of fenses against natural competition will forco tho making ot a real law to govern such conditions." In denying that tho decisions In the Standard Oil and Tobacco cases had accelerated this conviction, ho said: "There aro two lines of thought In this country. One Is Taft's Idea that corporations, should bo dissolved. The other Is expressed In Colonel Jloose,velUs,cancepUoa which. Is that largo corporations units should bo recognized but put undor careful and close governmental regulations. I know that theso are Colonel Roose velt's views and I heartily agree with them. I think tho government should first pass a law regulating corpora tions and then wait and sco If fur ther legislation .Is necossary." Carnegio reiterated that tho tariff could In no way affect tho prlco of steel. In this connection ho said: "Amorlca makes moro steel than nit tho rest ot tho world combined. Your legislatures need not worry about any tariff to protect steel." Tho Scotchman then repeated his recommendation for an Industrial commission similar to tho Intorstato commerce commission. At this point Congressman Dartlctt Interrupted tho witness and asked: "What Is It that has brought prac tically every big corporation In such a framo of mind that thoy aro al most unanimously in favor of this solution of tho trust problem?" "They have seen," answered Car uogie. "ns I saw long ago that tho peoplo will not sub mlt to huge com bines subsisting without regulations." Curnuglo then deolarod that ho was opposed to strengthening tho Sherman anti-trust law In an offort to haston tho dissolution of corpora tions. Whon asked If tho dissolution would rcduco tho prlco of stool tho witness said that It would not and tho only way to effect a reduction was by government regulation. In direct contrast to his manner joatorday, Carnegio todny mudo no effort to ovudo questions, but an sworod promptly.
