Except in the ateel ratl market, Mr Corey testified, the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company had net been the corpor- competitor, ation’s “When the T. C. @ 7. was taken over,” Mr. Corey added, “I Investigated the Plant and made a verbal report to the finance committees that $8,000 @ year for five years would be required to re- balld old plants and ulld new ones. At the end of that time, I thought, T. ©. 1. could be made a dividend payer for the corporation.” “Didn't it cost the T. C. & I more than any other company to make rattle?” “The cost wan high and there was Uttle profit.’ “In view of that fact and the iarge investment in the property, would you nay that competition between the T. C. and 1, and the rail mille In the North would have amounted to anything?” “In my opinion tho competition on ratle from the T. C. and J. would have been continued," Mr. Corey replied “I think that within @ short time the T. C. and 1. could have been able to reduce its cots; furthermore, I think the Interests who controlled the T. C. | and I. had pinced a ‘nuisance value’ on, | the property and would have continued to operate.” Seizing on the expression ‘nutsance value,’ Mr, Severance asked if John W. Gates had not ‘ifrequently suggested” to him that the Steel Corporation pur- chase the T. C. and i. “I don't recotiect that he ever made an offer, but he eppenred anxious to uring the vatue of the property to my ‘attention. He eald the T. C. & 1, was cheap at 600 share. T invariably told him thet I thought he was aout #00 too high.” Mr. Corey adled that at the time of the negotiations for the sale of the T. ©. &f, to the Corporation he had not concurred tn the purchase. He eaid that St had been eet forth at the meeting of financlere at the Morwan Library during the 1907 panic, that it was necessary for ‘Corporation to buy the stook to stop the panic, “T still Delleved that the stock Was worth only 660 @ share,” he said. “But you ait finally concur?” “Yor; I mado it onantmous.” ro JERSEY’S MOSQUITOES THINK SUMMER IS HERE AND ARE GETTING BUSY.
