Chairman Stanley brought out the
fact that the steel trust usually had
from J40.000.000 to $60,000,000 on de

cent interest. He also showed that
the tru.-t. is always very active, politi

probe mercilessly into the political ac

and squirmed and could only remem

evidence from the records of the steel
