Inquiry Into the affairs of the Vnlted States Heel Corporation by a special com mittee of the House of Representatives, which hat been la session ilnoe May. halted today. The committee -voted a recess until October . but It la said that no public hearings will be held until a later date. Several phases of the Inquiry are to be developed and there are still on the Mat two of the most Important wit nesses Andrew Carnegie and P. Morgan. Mr. Carnegie last Spring:. Just before he Bailed for Europe, lnrormea the committee that he would be it lad to appear In the Fall and It la likely he win be the first witness when the sessions are resumed. Morgan's Advice to Be Aketl. Because of his absence In Europe, no subpena has been Usued. but It Is al most certain that Mr. Morgan will be summoned later, not only to testify regarding the affairs of the Steel Cor poration and the acquisition of the Tennessee Col Iron Company, but also to aid the committee In formu lating recommendations to Conrres for legislation deemed necessary to sneet the Industrial demands of present day affairs. Chairman Stanley Is to hsve head quarters during the recess In Washing tun, where a force of assistants will be with him working up evidence to be submitted at the Kali hearings. The control of transportation facilities by the Steel Corporation has not yet been Investigated directly by the committee. This will be one of the principal fea tures of the future hearings. Another subject to be Inquired Into will be the relations of the International Harvester Company with tne Steel Corporation, and arrangements said to exist between them, particularly as to shipping and price differentials. "Model Trust" Eatollod. W. C Temple, of PltUburg. who wss ' commissioner of several steel pools, testified- lie denied the existence of Illegal pools at present and declsred that be regarded the T'nlted States Steel Corporation as a model trust. In cidentally he said that Mr. Morgan once refused an option at 11SO.000.SOO en the Carnegie Steel Company, for which six months afterward he 'paid lioe.eon.ooo. Mr. Temple declared that half of the profits of the steel corporation were produced by the Carnegie Steel plant, and that If this property had not been secured by the steel corporation. An drew Carnegie would today dominate the steel business of the country. The witness said he never heard ot Judge Gary ever attending a meeting of one of the steel pools, and he kaew thst he demanded their cessation. "What." Chairman Stanley exclaimed, "do you mean Judge Clary, the chair man of the steel corporation board of directors T' "Yes. Judge Gary declared that be did not believe In these associations. He said they were no longer necessary or desirable, and he demanded the abro gation of all such agreements and the discontinuance of business under them." Mr. Temple delivered a lengthy trust talk to the committee, describ ing good and bad trusts. He said Its affairs had always been public and that it had reduced prices - the con sumer and bad "held the ur,.rrtla over Its competitors," rsther than attrmpted la crush tbem. Asked by Mr. Littleton what legisla tion he could suggest as a substitute for the Sherman law, he said he could not auggeat a law. but he believed there should be some sort of govern ment supervision of great corporations and that "corporations should live con stantly In a glass house. Chairman Stanley, of the committee, read tbts telegram from Melville E. Stone, general manager of the Associ ated Press: "Hava Just learned that a personal letter of mine to Oakleigh Tborne was introduced In evidence to day. It la only fair to say that this letter was written under what now proves to have been a misapprehension of the facts and its use before your committee without explanation Is un just. I. therefore, request a hearing a( your hands." It was agreed to hear Mr. Stone after the recess. ARMY VIES WITH NAVY 0rt!nnei Tram Psee 1- Oregon -National Guard, Colonel O. O. Toran In command.
