Give Up.
THINKS COMPETITION'S
DAY IS NOW OVER
Says Government Should Fix Maxi
mum Prices--$28 for Ralls
Is Fair.
WASHINGTON', D. C, Jan. 11.
Deserting the Ktniitlitrtl of protection
on which ho admits his huge forttiuo
was founded, Andrew Carnegie thin
afternoon declared emphatically for
the removal of the tariff on niccl.
"American intluntry," said tho iron
master, before the Stnnloy house
committee which is invostipiting the
steel trust, "is well able to compete
with the manufacturers of the world
without protection."
WASIIINGTON', D. C, Jnn. 11. -Andrew
Carnegie, ironmaster and bo
stower of libraries, today hntl an
other opportunity to show tho fight
that is in hint when the members of
the Stanley house committee investi
gating the steel trust, continued their
"heckling" of ychtcrdny. Carnegie
was alert nod chipper, and nppnrcntly
enjoyed the clash of. wits with the
congressmen who nought to tlrng ad
missions from the ennny Scot.
Today's examination of Cnrncgio
opened tlio inquiries inlo the growth
ofthe'Cnriicgic'foTtiine front &f0
000,000 in 1897 to $420,000,000 in
1900. The members attempted to get
Carnegie to admit that the growth
was unreasonable.
Steel Trust Pretloudnates.
Cornered after a battle of wits
with members of the committee, Cnr
nogio admitted that tho steel trust
dominates that industry. lie resort
ed to jests and anecdotes in nu ef
fort to avoid answering, but finally
Congressman Gardner begun an at
tack which caused tho ironraiuter to
"give op."
Responding o a question by Con
gressman Bcall, Carnegio answered
that he believed tlio day of competi
tion was over. Asked why competi
tion had ceased, be replied :
"Because tho corporation repre
sentatives are able to sit down ami
agree to fix prices and then tuaiutmu
I hem. This is obvious."
Should Flv Prices.
Asked how this condition could bo
romodiod, Carnegie aitl that tho gov
ernment hbould fix maximum prices.
He then read a long statement in
which he pleaded for unity in the en
forcement of the law against violat
ors of tho anti-triint law.
Chairman Stanley then asked:
"Don't you believe that it is about
time that the punitive arm of the law
should bo invoked and any man vio
lating natural competition incarcer
ated f Don't you think he should bo
hold up as an example mid warning
to follow millionaire that they can
no longer bo indifferent to the lawf
Isn't it about time that we decided
that ignornuco of the law is no ex
citso?" "That's a good legal view," an
swered Carnegie, "but I think from
a moral standpoint that 11 mini's con
science is oloar when ho nan say: 'I
did no wrong knowingly.'" Ho then
urged clemency for tho "ignorant
manufacturer," adding that ho never
suspected the men associated with
him of violating tho law.
"Out of all Ibis troublo," ho addod,
"a now condition will urine, but it
will bo a new ora in which all classes,
including capital and labor, will Im
satisfied and interested."
During hia clash with CoiigrcsHman
Gardner tho Scotchman fenced for u
long time and when asked what ho
considered a fair price for stool rails.
He finally admitted that lie regarded
$28 a ton as a reasonable figure.
WASHINGTON, P. C, Jan. 11.
