The adjournment will be until the end of November, when the government has promised to present the tarift bill, which, in the meanwhile will be broadly considered by the various state governments and the Bundesrath. Anad- journment is really necessary now, because the attendance in the Reichstag during the past fortnight has dwindled steadily and important measures have repeatedly been passed by a score of members. This; doubt- less, was owing partially to the fact that members of the Reichstag do not vot re- celve any remunieration for their services, not even free railroad passes. The Relchstag this week, for the thir- teenth time, passed a resolution, by a five sixths majority, to the effect that members should be pald so much per day: but it known that the emperor and the Bundes- rath still oppose any remuncration and will not confirm the Reichstag resolution.

He said that the United 8 eel company controls eight com- i by owning thelr stock, and that while steps are taken to insure the good | | will and co-operation of all these com- panies, each one generally is left to conduct business in its own way. As a rule, the plan had been to tuke in only companies which were not competitors, but it was true that there were cases in which two Insti- tutions of (he same line were brought to- gether, and in such cases the managers were expeeted to get other in making their plans for sales Enumerating the advantages of consolida- tion, Mr. Schwab said they were found es- peclally in the plan of management and in the utilization of all ores owned. 1In this connection Mr. Schwab says the United States company owns 80 per cent of th iron ore of the country and he expressed the opinfon that the ore deposits must constantly grow in value because limited. The com- pany makes from 65 to 75 per cent of the steel products of the northwest. He also sald there had been no increase in the price of products since the organization of the United States company and that the ten- dency was toward lower prices. Discussing the tarifft Mr. Schwab ex- pressed the opinion that on articles of man ufacture in which labor does not enter as an {mportant factor the tariff might be re- moved, but in products in which labor en- ters largely, such, for instance, as tin plate, it would be necessary either to reduce wages or lose trade if the tariff were re- moved.

He thought a reasonable profit on this iron ore would be $2 a ton. Asked how long he thought the mines would be able to meet the demand, Mr. Schwab placed the lim't on the iron ore at thirty years and the coal at sixty.
