Eight Nations Protest Tariff Clause Amid Senate Talks

Senate finance sub committee and White House discussions anticipated a strike from the clause with emphasis on sugar and wool provisions remaining.

Amalgamation Made on Business Basis in Steel Trust Case
Judge Elbert H. Gary testified that neither he nor J. P. Morgan nor others discussed monopolizing the steel industry or suppressing competition during negotiations to form the United States Steel corporation. He denied overcapitalization and said the move aimed to perfect a rounded organization around the Federal Steel nucleus and Carnegie Steel acquisition. He noted limited competition existed between Carnegie and Illinois Steel, but not in bulk products, and insisted the arrangement was not to restrain trade.
