WASHINGTON', Feb. 28 That
tho social functions known as "Gary
dinners" control absolutely tho prices
in the steel industry and thnt tho
United States Steel corporation s
oporated in restraint of trade through
this price-control and its domination
of raw material, was the conclusion
roiwrtod to tho Stanley iiouso steol
investigating committee tou'ny by
Fiirquhnr J. MuRue, the committee's
export accountant.
MaeRao's report was tho result of
a detailed examination of the books
of the steel trust, mndo whilo tho
records were under subpoena by tho
committee, lit sovorai particulars
the report contradicts testimony giv
en by officiate of the trust beforo tho
committee. Tho Gary dinners, tho ro
jHirt says, operated to maintain pries
and exclude competition.
Morgan's Fabulous Profit.
A fabulous profit was made out of
the formation of tho Steol Trust by
J. P. Morgan & Co., wliieh framed
the combination, the report says, tho
steel trust books show it total of
$(19,300,000 was paid tho Morgan con
cern for finanoing the syndicate that
organized tho trust.
Of this, $G'J,5l)0,000 was a promo
tors' profit, whilo tho renminbi $0,
800,000 was the profit on n bond con
version scheme. In tho first ntuo
years of its existence the corporation
onrnod net, tiio report says, $1,020,
(SS:,3SP, instoud of $$080,000,311, as
is set forth in tho reports ot iho cor
poration offioials.
This amount to a not profit of $1.)
a ton on finished steol products.
lSestralus Competition,
Kiglity per cent of tho steol pro

dominated by tho corporation, tho re
port says, although 1). II. Gary und

thu trust controlled and desired to
control loss than (it) pur cent of tho

Even in making its profits, the id
port chargos, tho steel corporation re
strains competition by concentrating
tho greater part of iU profits in Us
operation on raw materials and semi
finished products, while uonfining tho
finished products plants tn a low pro
fit. This opera I en, according to the
report, to keep tho price of raw ma
terials up, to tho udvuutagQ of the
comporntioii nnd the detriment of in
dependent competitors,
