But that they—consider—themselves too sacred to even be investigated was not known until the Stanley in- vestigating committee was politely asked by the steel trust attorneys to please abandon its inquiry because of the Wickersham suit to dissolve the trust Should this request be gratified it would mean that the Wickersham is a God send to the trust, inas- : as it sidetracks an honest and searching investigation of a monopoly himself claims to be illegal.
