By the Assoclated Press. NEW _ YORK, June 3.—Mortimer L. Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. today de- clined to produce documents relating ! to the Republic-Midvale-Inland steel merger which the Lockwood legisla- tive committee ordered him to turn over to them. His refusal was based on a claim that the papers were private documents which the com- mittee had no power to acquire. “I won't decline and I won't say yes,” was the reply. ‘When Mr. Schiff sought to qualify this refusal by saying he would con- sult counsel about the advisability of camplying with the request, Samuel Untermyer, counscl for the committee, asked if he would produce the paper if directed to do so by the committee chairman. The papers merely dealt with mat- ters of a private nature—earnings of companies in the proposed merger and such subjects, he said In negotiat- ing the merger, the witness declared, he had not’ conversed with J. P. Morgan or made any _inquiries whether the merger would be agree- able to him or to the United States Steel Corporation. Thomas Chadbourne Called. Thomas L. Chadbourne, counsel for the Republic Iron and Steel, the Mid- vale and the Inland Steel companles during negotiations looking to the! merger, was called to appear before | the committee today and explain the details of the consolidation. A subpoena was issued for Mr. Chadbourne yesterday after Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the commit- tee, had denounced the officials of the three companies for the manner of the merger announcement and the fact that they had not explained the details of the new company’'s financ- ing by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. John N. Topping. chalrman of the board of the Republioc Iron and Steel Company, was called to take the stand again today to tell of a stock bonus armingement with the bankers. Yesterday Mr. Untermyer drew from Mr. Topping the admission that among the unpublished details of the merger was a deal with Kuhn, Loeb & Co. to raise $65,000,000 to under- write the merger and $20,000,000 to make a market for the new Nonhl American Steel shares. Untermyer Charges Plot. This $20,000,000, Mr. Untermyer de- clared, was to be used for trading in the market so that when the stock reached a proper high level the in- siders could unload and the outsiders could load up.” Hot with resentment, Schiff called on Chairman Lockwood to make Untermyer cease asking “unfair” questions. After he had admitted that the bank might both buy and sell the stock, the question that set off the fireworks was put to Mr. Schiff in these words: “So that while with one hand the syndicate is selling stock to the public, with the other hand, it is buying stock from the public.” Schiff said this was not true be- cause the transactions were not simultaneous, and when the lawyer inquired how he knew, he shouted:; “We do not wash stock, and I resent that implication.” “All these resentments, you know, don't count,” Untermyer remarked. "Th'e facts are what we are looking or.” “Then put the questions in the way SO that they are facts, and don't twist things,” suggested the banker. . Witness Is Warned. “Mr. Chairman, yourhad better warn this witness that he is not in his banking office,” said the lawyer. “And neither are you in your office,” came the retort. “Mr. Chairman,”" continued the banker, “Mr. Untérmyer is trying to put words in my mouth that we are manipulating stock, and I will not do it. I refuse to answer another ques- Then came the jail threat. “Mr. Untermyer twists words in mouth,” said the banker. o, I canot get in your mont Mr. Untermyer assured him. *If 1] could, I would close it.” In a moment they were at it agan, Untermyer Insisting that the syndi cate was a “buying and selling one" and Schiff agreeing that all syndi- cates weye of that nature, but that purchases and sales were .not :nade at the same time. “You may have had experience In that way, but I haven't,” the banker said to the lawyer. “I know so.ue- thing about your transactions. I know you have a large interest in Bethlehem.” Untermyer Courts Publieity. i “Don’t tell me about your experi- ence or mine,” Untermyer barked | back. “I think I know yours and I do not think you know mine. If you think you know any of mine, you are at liberty to state them now from the witness stand and not dare make these contemptible insinuations.” resent the word ‘contemptible. hey are contemptible because ASEERE NS SN RN EEEEEESEE SN NEEENEEAENEEEEERNESEOS CcCoRrRPro tive olfactories. ) OPENING The First BUD on an Old PLANT Our Georgetown Paint Factory Opens Its Downtown Showroom Monday, June 5, 1922 (ARMORSHIELD PXINT 1317 New York Ave. A novel paint store with no barrels to insult the eye, no odors to annoy easy chair from color plates, aided by sales- who are paint counselors, directed ir service to you by S ”l!l‘r D.

Schiff remarked. “I do know some of your trans- actions,” the witness went on. “I know vou are a large shareholder of_Bethlehem.” “Bvery one knows that” Unter- myer put in. Then he again got the last word in this manner: “I told it to the committee when I started. I am not selling it. I have held it for fifteen vears. 1Is that what you call an operation?” Later Schiff said if more pcople wanted to sell than buy, his bank bought stock. If the pyblic with confidence in their judgment ready to buy, the stock was for = he said, insisting the bankers were not buying and selling simultane- ously. Schiff Demands Retraction. Schiff demanded a retraction from Untermyer on published statements quoting the counsel as saying the $20,000,000 was to be used for trading in the market, so that when the stock reached a high level, the “insiders could unload and the outsiders could load up.” But Untermyer merely re- marked that the statement was not in the record of committee proceed- ings, and let it go at that. Thomas L. Chadbourne, the lawyer who promoted the syndicate, refused to turn over any of the papers tc 1ne committee today, although he was ordered to do so in a subpoena. It was testified his compensation for merging the three companies would be the privilege of buying at $:0 a share 25,500 shares of the common stock to be offered at $433, while Kuhn, Loeb & Co. would be privileged to buy 59,600 shares at $10, and also receive 15 per cent commission on the profits from floating the stock under- written by the syndicate. ‘The committee will resume public hearings next Thursday. POCAHONTAS IMAGE DEDICATED IN RAIN Descendents of Indian Prin- cess Present at James- | town Island Ceremony. By the Associated Press. JAMESTOWN ISLAND, Va, June 3. —>Many prominent Virginians and em- inent persons from other states and countries this afternoon gathered at the cradle of America to pay homage to the memory of Virgina's barbarian queen, “The Little Wanton” Princess Matoaka—Pocahontas, savior of Capt. John Smith and faithful defender of the first permanent English settle- ment in America. Three little girls and five boys in whose veins flow the blood of the daughter of Powhatan were here to draw back the veil from around Wil- liam Ordway Partridge’s heroic bronze statue of Pocahontas. In matter of fact, however, there was no “unveiling,”'as a drenching down- pour made it impossible to draw the curtains. The distinguished gathering hud- | dled_about under umbrellas and the speakers sought like shelter as they delivered their eulogies of the wild { little princess and delivered her statue to the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities. Miss Ella Lorraine Dorset, president of the Pocahontas Memorial Associa- tion, presented the statue—an eight- foot figure with arms outstretched as | in_welcome to the colonists. i Dr. Lyon G. Tyler, son of President John Tyler, accepted on behalf of the | Virginia Association. .

CINCINNATL Ohlo, June 3.—Possi- bility for the writ of injunction in ax effort to hold up the wage reduc- tions decreed by the Railroad Labor Board will be one of the subjects discussed at the conference to be held by executives of railroad brother- hoods and organizations in Cincinnatl next week, it was reported In local railroad labor circles. Should it be the opinion of legal advisers of the brotherhoods that there are grounds for asking such a proceeding of the courts it would be an alternative te a strike vote, it was said Railroad men said th sylvania railroad could hold up even the announcement of the decision of the board by an appeal to the courts as happened in the case involving the legality of a ballot for the election of a workers’ committee to confer on rules and working conditions, then if was decla; the same would hold in any activity of the board However, it was said, there are cer. tain labor men who frown on the juse of the writ of injunction on be.
