PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2C.-1 Further argument designed to show hwy tho United States Stcol corpora Hon should bo disintegrated on the ground that It is an unlawful trust, as charged by tbo government, was mado in tbo United States district court today. Henry E. Colton, spe cial assistant to tho attornoy general on tho government's dissolution suit against tho big steel concern and its subsidiaries, was tho first speaker. It Is expected arguments will not como to an end until lato tomorrow. Maintained Price Mr. Colton royerted to the al leged maintenance ot uniform prices of steel products for long periods after tho formation ot the atjgilfJK poration. Tho government, (jlapapas that 4ho uniform prices' Biasatahied by tho Btecl corporatloa aad inde pendents waa ono of tho results ot the Gary dinner in Xew York at tendeiVby a majority ot the Iron and steel manufacturers ot tho United States. Mr. Colton argued that the wlt neseg tho government had called and tho document's It had presented in evidenco clearly proved that the steel corporation took tho lead In having tho dependents go nlong with. It in keeping up prices. In answer to tho argument of tho defense that prices have not been uniform, especially In tho last fo.w years, Mr. Cojtoa re-' plied' that the government docs not contend that priceB havo been con sistently maintained since the govern ment filed its suit three years ago and congress, through tho Stanley committee, began Its Investigation Into the steel corporation's opera tlons. For Foreign Benefit While on the subject ot uniform prices as an indication as non-com pctltlve conditions In tho steel lu dustry, Mr. Colton said tho steol cor poration sold products In foreign markets at prices greatly lower than , In the United States, the defenso, ho said, contended that It was only tho surplus product that waa so disposed of lu foreign countries. Mr. Colton said tho fact thnt tho steel corporation sold Its surplus at a reduction In tho foreign markets was an Indication lhat tho corpora tion Intended to keep up oxcesslvo prices at homo. It the corporation had been honest with tho public, Mr. Colton said, It would have dlsposou ot Its surplus product lu tho Unitod States at tho lower prices. EJI TO BE ELECTED SALEM, Or., Oct. UU.
