Combinations will help, but they will not be premanent as a cure.” | Retorts Bring Laughter. Some of the sharp retorts of the steel | man frequently sent the crowds in the | | committee room into gales of laughter, | but at another point Schwab's voice | broke as he confessed that he had| ‘never made a cent of money out of | the Bethlehem Steel Corporation,” of | whose board of directors he is chairman. “You might be surprised.” he said, “but in the 40 years I have been in the | steel business, I have not made a penny | out of the Bethlehem steel. It has been | a work of love and all I have tried,to do is to drive a peg to mark progress | |in human relations.” i Schwab was persistently questioned about conditions at Ellsworth. Pa., but he said he knew nothing of them. He told the committee he was willing to | | help all he could in solving the bitumi- {nous problem. At the afternoon session the commit- tee called Rockefeller and Mellon. They were present at the morning session and posed with Schwab for pictures. At one point Schwab said he wanted to tell the committee that nobody had ! | done so much for industry as Rocke- | feller and his father. Schwab First on Stand.

Schwab's voice broke as he completed his statement with a declaration rhat he had never made a cent of money out of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation Questioned by Senator Gooding, Re- publican, Idaho, the steel executive said that too many men are employed in the mining industry, and that no pallia- tive remedy can be applied to help that | situation.

Cost Estimated at $35,000,000. Advised that one of the first questions apt w be propounded is “How much it will cost?” Luther Steward, president of the National Federation of Federal Employes, yesterday supplied Chalrman Lehlbach of the civil service committee with an estimate of $35,000,000 as the “probable annual cost to the Govern- ment” of the proposed increases. The bill, Steward said, will affect about 120,000 Federal employes in all branches of the civillan service, here and elsewhere. Representative Fletcher of Ohlo, a member of the committee, who has manifested sympathy for the pleas of the employes for better wages, has demonstrated a deep interest in claims of supporters of the bill that de- spite the cost to the Government at the of | of the industry. Doubts Pact Abrogation. | Turning to the Jacksonville mine wage agreement, Senator Wheeler, | Democrat, Montana, interrogated the | | steel-magnate on the abrogation of that | | pact by the Bethlchem Mines Corpora- | | tion, which Schwab admitted was con- nected with his organization. “I don’t know anything about it Schwab said, “but I never would admit that odr company abrogated any agree- ment.” Schwab sald that the mines would be {shut down in preference to violation of {an agreement if that were the only it'uunu- open to prevent loss of money. He ad d, however, that he could |imagine a situation whereby the mines might soon be opened again to give employment to men who could not otherwise find work. Schwab sald he could not answer as | to details of recent affairs of his com- pgny. as he was now too old to be “competent or feel called upon to be | actively engaged in business.” | i | —an DRIVE A3 | oo L 1Yoy WoULD 2.

HOLDS SMITH ADS “SCOUNDRELS Senator Assails “Effort to Undermine Confidence” in Teapot Probe. Veteran Democrat, 75, Had Refused to Seek Re-Elec- tion This Year. Health in Recent Months Hindered Activitiess—Was Waish Backer. Senator Woodbridge N. Ferris of ichigan, 75-year-old veteran of many legislative and political battles, died early today in his apartment at the Washington Hotel. Death came at 6:15 o'clock this morning. after a week-long struggle against pneumonia, which developed from a heavy cold It had been planned last week to re- move the venerable legislator to a Battle Creek institution, but his con- dition became so desperate that this could not be dore. Physicians had held out but little hope for him, after he developed pneumonia. Announcement of the Senator's pass- ing away was made by Dr. G. W Car- ver. He said his patient began to sink By the Associated Press. Answering the letter of Gov. Smith of New York, which condemned him for his remarks about the governor in recent debate in the Senate, Chairman Nye of the ofl committee today counter- ed that Smith was giving aid and com- fort to “every scoundrel whose infamy has been exposed.” This aid, Nye caid, was through Smith's “seeking to undermine public | confidence in the fairness and impar- | tiality of the committee in the midst of | this investigation.” | Scnator Nye, a Republican from North | Dakota, disclaimed any attack on the | governor in the debate and wrote that | he had “expressly stated that you were ‘not in any way involved in the oll | scandals now under investigation by | titute and collegemate of the Senator, | ‘N¢ commitiee. of which I am chair- Msm;:lfil ?;tumy mue{ n&pe o | m:';'ou need not concern yourself in .

The $25.000 Liberty oond “loan” which Sinclair made to Fall in June 1923, prior to Fall's trip to Russia with Sinclair, was inquired into today by the committee as the hearing got under way. Baldwin, the sole witness, told the committee at the outset that, while he could give no information about the Continental bonds which Sinclair re- ceived, he knew Sinclair wanted Faj as an “outside attorney.” and particy larly to make the trip to Russia, where Sinclair was seeki oil concessions from the Soviet government.
