SUBJECT TO PENALTIES Fines of from $500 to $1,000 for Fail- ure to Live up to Agreoment—Steel Trust Dissolution Suit. New York, May 8.—The government began its sult to dissolve the United States Steel corporation today by at- tacking one of its largest subsidiaries, the American Steel and Wire company, with the inteni to prove that ever since its organization in 1899 down to a year ago it had been a party to pools, agreements or understandings to re- strain trade. The testimony, taken before Henry P. Brown of Philadelphia, special com- missioner in the case, was given by two witnesses, Wallace Buell of Port- chester, N, Y., a retired independent ‘o mapufacturer, and George E. Hol- ton, president of ihe Eryden Horse Shoe company of Catassuqua, Pa., who with others was indicted and fined in the sa-called “wire pool” cases about a year ago, after a plea of nolo conten- dres. Fixed Price of Horseshoes. Seven of these alleged pools, cover- ing different kinds of wire, are men- tioned in the government's complaint, and Holton testified as to the forma- tion of the American Horse Shoe asso- clation in January, 1901, three months before the organization of the United States Steel corporation. The associa- tion, he said, was organized to fix the prices of horseshoes and was composed of nine concerns, among them the American Steel and Wire company 2nd his own concern. These, he swore, en- tered into a pooling agreement, a copy of which he produced. Penalties Proviced. It provided penalties of not less than $500 or more than $1,000 for the failure of any member to abide by it. The agreement was continued, he said, down to March, 1909, when the Amer- ican Steel and Wire company with- drew. Did Vice President Backus of the American Steel and Wire company state in one of the meetings of the assoclation that Judge Gary, chairman of the steel corporation, had no know- ledge of this pool?” asked C. A. Sev- erance, one of the defendants’ lawyers. “Yes, he did” repliel the witness. ‘Judge Gary rad no knowledge of it as far as I know “Didn’t the American Steel and Wire company withdraw from it because judge Gary found it out?” “That I don't know. I only know that the American Steel and Wire company got out.” Every Man Knew the Other Man’s Price. The members of the assoclation, in- cluding a representative of the Ameri- can Steel and Wire company, met in- formally, however, after the dissolu- tion of the pool until about a month after the New York grand jury inves- tigation into the general wire pool sit- uation was begun last year, the wit- ness asserted. They were abandoned then, he said, on the advice of Bdwin E. Jackson, the “supervisor” of this and other wire pools, who was himself indicted and fined. “At those informal meetings we ex changed nformation, and every man kmew what the other man's price would be the next day,” sald Holton, who added that although under the new ar- rangament prices were not always uni- > or six companies, including the American Steel and Wire company, which usually named the same prices. During the existence of the formel agreement, Holton testified, it was Jackson's duty to designate the concern ch should accept the bids of the United States government. American Steel Cut Prices. Holton read into the record a num- ber of letters written by him to Jack- son in behalf of his company in which he accused the American Steel and Wire company of violating the agree- ment to maintain prices. One letter serted that tha trust's subsidiary was cutting prices on Honolulu business and “unless some action is taken we all see that we get our fair share of that business.” In another letter Hol- ton remarked that inasmuch as the American Steel and Wire company did not seem to have a clear under- standing of the agreement, “it would be well for us not to have a clear un- derstanding also.” NINE KILLED IN A " SOUTHERN WRECK.
