AcE FOUR GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW WEDNESDAY, JUNE RMR in HELPED AVERT PANIC IN 1397 E H Gary Tells of Work of Steel Corporation SURPRISES THE COMMITTEE Declares Government Control and Pub- licity of Corporation Affairs Is Inevitable. Washington, June 3.—Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation directorate, told the Stanley steel trust investigating com- mittee that his corporation stood be- hind J. Pierpont Morgan in averting @ disastrous financial panic in 1907. He insisted, challenging the state- ments of John W. Gates before the committee, that the purchase by the steel corporation of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company at that time was made at a price more than it was worth for the express purpose of pre- venting the crash of the New York banking firm of Moore & Schley. Mr. Gary related a dramatic story of the momentous events which pre- ceded the absorption of the Tennes- gee concern. He described in detail hhow he and Henry C. Frick, at the in- stance of Mr. Morgan, had revealed the plan of buying the company at a price greater than its value to Presi- dent Roosevelt and Mr. Root, then @ecretary of state. He told how he had concluded, after this interview with Mr. Roosevelt, that any govern- ment prosecution of their act would have been an “outrage.” Many Surprising Statements. Mr. Gary made many surprising e@tatements during his eight hours’ ex- mination, but none more startling than his declaration that government control and publicity of corporations fn this country must come. He said @hat through the American Iron and Steel institute the heads of the steel industry were trying to steer a course between the Sherman anti-trust law, which he characterized as “archaic,” on the one hand, amd the old time Notice of Sealed Bids. Sealed bids for coastruction of four room school building at Keewat- in, Minn., will be received at the office of the Clerk of the School District, Nashwauk, Minn., until 8 p. m., June 9, 1911. kj Plans and specif.cations may be seen at the office of the architect, W. A. Hunt, Lonsdale Building, Du- luth, Minn, The School Board re- serves right to reject any and all bids. —~cavue ui uestrucave competiuon on the other, in order to operate for the public welfare. ¥ iy Mr. Gary announced to the commit- tee that he wanted everything known concerning the steel corporation and more than all he pleaded for some re- sponsible government source to which euch a necessary great corporation could appeal for guidance in the con- duct of its business. He agreed to fur- nish the committee so much that it wishes to know that he will be re- called when it meets again next Wednesday. Others who have been summoned to appear are W. B. Dickson of the Unit- ed States Steel corporation and John Lambert of the Republic Iron and Steel company.

Hill at the proper time will be able tc take over the Burlington system. The fact that Mr. Hill has been planning on acquiring absolute control of the Burlington, releasing the North- ern Pacific of its responsibility and control of that line, has been a matter of common gossip for some time. It has been reported that he was simply | waiting until the time would be pro- pitious for the consummation of such adeal. That time is now quickly ap- Pproaching.
