Control Is Less Now Than In 1901 Says Gary
Judge Elbert H. Gary testified before the House steel trust committee that United States Steel now controls about 50 percent of domestic steel output, down from roughly 60 percent at its 1901 formation, while exporting business remains high. He argued there is no international steel trust and noted competing firms like Carnegie and Illinois Steel faced definable markets due to rail rates.

Canada Reciprocity Bill Faces Senate Vote Delay
The Canadian reciprocity bill was acted on by the Senate finance committee and will be reported Tuesday without recommendation. A root amendment to print paper and wood pulp provisions was adopted by eight votes. A series of near ties halted a report without recommendation, with amendments defeated or modified as the panel debated duties on stock and farm products and free-list items. The committee’s action surprised lawmakers and a majority report may appear Tuesday with minority notes anticipated. The piece also notes the Cedar Falls district Women’s Missionary society convention opening in Traer, Iowa.
