In tho trust furnished full details of

plants to each other.
Schwab offered to furnish thu
commltteo tho cost sheets of his
Llothlohoiu plant. Ho asserted fur
ther that the steel corivoratlon ought
to furnish similar Information will
ingly. His statement profoundly liu
pressd Chairman Stanley, who ques
tioned him closely on this point. The
commltteo held u brief session mid
decided to call on tho trust to fur

Tells of Organizations.
Schwab told his version of tho
forming ot (ho steel trust. Ho as
sorted that tho idea was laid hoforo
tho manufacturers in u speech which
ho delivered at a dtnnor in Now
York. Ho branched off to speak ot
lho tariff, saying that tho present
schedules wero not too high.
When asked by mombors ot tho

WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 4.
Practical confirmation of reports
that President Taft will veto the wool
tariff revision bill and tho farmers'
tree list bill came this afternoon
when Congressman John Dwight,
whip of tho house, after a conference
at tho executive offices, sent out a
hurry call for absent republicans,
Tho call urges them to be back to
voto against the bills, should an at
tempt be made to pass them ovor the
president's veto.
That the call was mado at the sug
gestion of tho president is taken as
certain here, and it is believed that
tho president has decided on the ac
tion ho will take when tho two bills
passed by tho democrats and pro
gressives finally como from confer
ence. In his speech at Winona,
Minn., Taft declared that "Schedule
K" was "Indefensible" and many
denlocrats bel'eved ho anight sign
tho Underwood bill. The republican
regulars have urged against such ac
That thero is real danger that the
two measures may bo passed over tho
president's voto Is evident from the
hasto with which Dwight acted to
day in sending out tho calls for ab
sent regulars to return.
Tho sight of a democratic house
and a republican senato passing tar-
an expected
presidential veto Is predicted by
leaders in both houses ot congress
today. It is believed that tho Un
derwood cotton rovislon bill will not
pass tho senato because tho South
em democrats thero nre disinclined
to tnko It up at this time, but the
wool tariff bill and farmers frco list
bill will bo passed.
