Mr. Temple told of the existence of a
.structural steel association In the United
States formed In 1871 and the steel shafting
pool. He was confronted with a copy
of the structural steel agreement entered
Into In 1907. This agreement apportioned
to Its members a percentage of sales as
follows:
The Carnegie Steel company, Wi per
cent; Jones & Laughlln, 12 per cent; A.
& P. Roberts company, UVi per cent:,
Passlao Rolling Mill company, 6 per cent;
Phoenix lrori company, i per cent: Cambria
Iron company, 5 per cent; Universal Con
struction company, 4Vi per cent; Pottsvllle
' Iron and Steel company, 3 per cent; Cleve
land Rolling Mill company, 3 per cent.
Under the agreement each member of
the pool was bound to make a sworn state
ment of Its production and shipments each
month. If on member produoed more
than Its allotted share, he was forced to
pay a fin of five-tenths of 1 cent for each
pound of steel shipped over the allotted
'amount.
Firms falling to ship up to their allot-,
ment were paid five-tenths of 1 cent a
pound for their shortages. These rates
later were changed to SV cents a pound or
37 a ton. A guaranty fund of the pool was
provided, each member being assessed orig
inally $2,600 and 3000 a month thereafter.
One portion of the agreement provides
"that the New Jersey Steel and Iron com
pany and the works of the said New Jer
sey Bteel and Iron company, shall remain
Inoperative In the manufacture of certain
beams and channels during the life of this
agreement In consideration for which the
New Jersey Iron and Steel company shall
receive from this association the sum of
37.000 per month."
ays Gary llroke Vp Pools.
Mr. Temple declared that all these pools
ceased to exist In 1U04, and he startled the
committee when lie declared they were
broken up by K. II. Gary.
"What," Chairman Htanley exclaimed,
"do you mean Judgo Gary, the chairman
of the steel corporation board of directors?"
tors?1
"Yes, JuUkc Gary declared that he did
not believe In these associations, lie salil
they were no longer necessary or desirable
and he demanded the abrogation of all
such agreementH and the discontinuance
of business under them."
Air. Temple produced In connection with
the structural uteri agreement a price list,
In which the country was apportioned, and
different prices fixed for various sections.
"lender that agreement were the mem
bers of the association' to adhere to the
price list'1
"After the bitter warfare In tho steel
business prior to 1897 It was difficult to-
hold anybody, but after 1D04 I may say
there was no destructive competition."
Mr. Temple further said there were many
violations of the pool agreements. The
Carnegie company he said never was
caught violating a pool agreement. In
those days, he said, every man In the
steel business "carried a tomahawk."
"The greatest harmonlxer In the steel
business." he said, "was Mr. Schwab.''

ANSWER OF HARVESTER TRUST
Counsel for Combine Contradicts Con
clusions of Townsend Report.
DENIES MATERIAL STATEMENTS
Says Trast Has No Aflvaataae
Thronah Pateats aad that It
Makes Nearly All Its Owa
tl ssi lrea.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12-That the argu
ments and conclusions of the so-called
Townsend report are based upon clearly
ts la the opening as
sertion In a reply by Edgar Bancroft, coun
sel for the International Harvester com
pany, filed today with the house "Steel
trust" Investigating committee In answer
to charges made by Burdette T. Townsend,
special agent of the Department of Jus
tin In IMA. Tha Townsend report was
filed with the committee a short time ago.
"Nearly every Important statement re
lating to the purpose of the investigation,"
the reply continues. "Is either grosaly in
accurate or entirely untrue. TI, general
Inaccuracy of the report is shown by us
misstatement even of the names of the
president and chairman of the board of
the International Harvester company and
of the names of ths voting trustees, al
though thev were all widely known and a
matter of public record for four years
prior to the making of tne report.
Tne fundamental charge of a combina
tion to create a monopoly is based by the
report on the charge that the knotter In
the self-binder is protected by patents and
that the International owns the patents on
all the best types of knotters.
JVo Monopoly Throsgh Patents.
"The truth is there is no patent what
ever, on the essential part of any type of
kuotter and there has not been any such
patent In force since when the Ap-
Dlehv natent expired. This fact not only
appears on the records of ths patent office.
but Is known to overy manufacturer oi
self-binders and to every principal dealer
In them.
"Neither are there any existing patents
upon any essential part of the train bind
ing machine. The many basic patents
had all expired in M; and there have been
no substantial patented Improvements since
1830 twenty years ago while ths Ufa of a
patent, a is well known, is only seventeen
years."
The statements of Townsend report that
of the nine different types of grain binders
purchased by the International all but
three have been abadoned and that repairs
arc not furnished for any others Is branded
by. Attorney Bancroft as "notoriously and
absolutely false." He further says that
"repairs for every type then (at the time
of the report) were and have ever since
been furnished by the International when
and wherever called for."
"The report's charge of a 'binder twin
trust' Is without any foundation whatso
ever," declares the reply, which also states
that the International has had the vigorous
competition of one larger and six smaller
twine manufacturers in addition to seven
state penitentiary twine mills.
Names Eight Competitors.
In reply to the charges that competition
has been "Isrgely suppressed," Mr. Ban
croft cites the names of eight firms which
he declares are all active competitors.
As to the charge that the International
receives rebates from railroads and special
concessions from the Unite States Steel
corporation, the reply declares that the
Harvester company's "relation to the
United States Steel corporation Is not dif
ferent from It relations to the competitors
of the steel corporation," and that during
the last seven years it has bought from
the steel corporation "10 per cent of its
total needs, while It has purchased SO per
cent from competitors of the United States
Steel, the balance of Its needs having been
supplied by the International-' subsidiary
corporation, the Wisconsin Steel company."
As to the charge of increasing prices the
International asserts that Instead of In
creasing trjem its Influence hqs been to
prevent Increases. It says that although
the price of raw material has increased
more than 30 per cent, its prices fcere not
increased until 190(1. and then only 7 per
cent, and that for 1!)12 a reduction of 5 per
cent was announced last mofith.
Price Illaber Abroad.
On the subject of foreign prices, "tha
International denies "that perennial false
hood that agricultural Implements were
sold abroad cheaper than at home," and
declares that the government's own inves
tigation, published in the dally consular
and trade reports of February, March and
April, 1909, show that the price for the
six-foot binder, which Is sold in America
for $125,. are as follows: France, 1175.70;
Germany, J208; Denmark, $17.B0; South
Russia. $188.95; Great Britain, $135.18, and
that "the net prices received by the Amor
loan manufacturer are greater on the ma
chines sold abroad than at home,"
As to the charge that the International
Is a "trust," the reply Is that It was not
a merger of existing corporations, but a
new one, In which $30,000,000 were Invested
by person not heretofore In the harvester
business.
Finally, the International deniea that
"any plants purchased by it were closed
or abandoned, but state that alt the plant
were enlarged, - Improved and have em
ployed mor men than ever befor."

In Cracow with the result that ther 1 a
bigger circulation of newspaper In Yiddish
and Italian in New York and In Bohemian
and Polish In Chicago than in any other
cities In the world,
Russian Jew are omnivorous readers, as
is indicated by the fact that their four
leading newspapers in New York reach a
total circulation of more than 800,000. In
New York, beside the four great Yiddish
dailies, ther' are perhaps a dosen weeklies
and semi-weeklies In the same tongue, be
sides three eomlo papers.
Next in Importance to the Yiddish news
papers smong those published in foreign
languages In New York are those printed
In Italian, of which the six most important
dallies have a combined circulation of mora
than 200,000, spread over' a greater area
than that occupied by the Jews. Of the
600,000 Italians In th flv boroughs, there
are about 90,000 in Brooklyn, 80,000 In, Rich
mond, 25,000 In Queen and 20,000 in Th
Bronx, the great majority living In tha
two big colonies In Manhattan, however.
Th Italians have almost, If not quite, as
many weeklies as their more numerous
congeners, th Jew.
There Is further a weekly journal, re
cently established, published in Italian,
that deserves special mention as having a
high specific aim, which is to Americanise
the great body of the people speaking that
language In the United States, only S per
cent of whom are at present naturalised.
Thl Journal Is th Clttadino (Cltisen),
edited by Alberto Pecorlnl, who baa re
nounced a promising literary career to de
vote hlmelf, without remuneration, to the
uplift of hi countrymen here, a director
of th Italian-American Civic league, which
h wa mainly instrumental In organising.
It Is a long drop from th Jaw and th
Italians In New York to the next greatest
of the foreign populations, which is the
Hungarian. The Hungarians number about
200,000, including the Croatiana, ths Ru
thenlans and the Slovaks, all three of
which people hav newspapers in their own
languages.
Next In number after th Hungarian
among th foreign born population of New
York come the Germans. After them come
the -Austrians, with a poplation of 100,000,
who read the German newspapers, as well
a on of their own published In th came
language. Next after th Austrian are
70,000 Bohemians, who support two dallies,
with a combined circulation of 11,000. Fifty
thousand Greeks In New York support two
dallies and a monthly magazine of high
literary quality which has a circulation of
15.000,
Th French, th Belgians and th French
speaking Swiss In New York, who together
number about 80,000, unport one dally,
which publishes a Bundsy and a weekly
edition. There are only fourteen French
periodicals of so much as 5,000 circulation
published in ths United States, and these
are confined to New York, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Connecticut and LouIbI
ana. Of the other eighteen languages and dia
lect, not counting German, th Arabic peo

The German newspapers published In
New York lllustrat a condition that all th
foreign language newspapers in the United
States must eventually reach; that Is, their
peculation Is falling because Oerman Immi

It should not be understood that ther
ha been a reduction of 350,000 in the cir

total circulation Is due to th fact that
scores, and perhaps hundreds of German

Rhodes, who said he was a banker and
talked of starting a bank in Iowa. A 'week
later the bank at Dexter received a check
for $475, purporting to be signed by Arnold,
and when tha latter returned home a few
days ago, h for the first time heard of it.
Rhode is supposed to have obtained Ar
nold' nam from th hotel register. The
bankers' association Is also on the trail Of

supposed to have forged th name of a
farmer living near Esbox, la., for SS50.
Another similar case ha been heard from

at the division offices. Passenger train
No. 4, eastbound, 'was speeding toward the
hill when the engineer noticed the track
ahead was In poor shape. ' The rails were
torn up and the ties twisted. He brought
his tcaln to a stop and Investigated, Peer
ing about for the cause of the damaged
rails, he glanced down Into the gully. To
his surprise an upturned refrigerator car
lying 200 feet below, appeared to account
for the aocldent.
At the next station the crew of th pas
senger train made a complete report of
the occurrence, Including the number of
the car, which they could distinguish, de
spite its distance below the rails.
As there were no reports of an accident
at that point, officials at the division head
quarter began an Investigation. It de
veloped that the extra freight, westbound,
had passed the scene of the accident some
time befor the passenger train wa due.
A message to the Missouri division of
fices disclosed the fact that the freight
had registered In, but that no report of
such an occurrence had been made. A
few minutes later the conductor of the
freight discovered he wa on car short.
A refrigerator car, thirty car behind the
engine, wa missing. Comparison ot num
ber showed that this particular bit of
rolling block was lying in the creek bed
at Barry.
In th official report the following ex
planation of the accident waa mad.

apply th air several times to retard th
momentum of th train- It was between

from th car ahead.
"For some reason the refrigertor turned
crosswise on the tracks. Ther is a heavy
grade at tills point, and as the car turned
It swung up in ths air and toppled over
the embankment.
"This caused the rear coupling of the re
frigerator to slide out of the coupler of
the one following. A the rear section re
mained on the rati, on th downhill Jour
ney. It soon overtook the front section
and the gap left by th mining rolling
stock wa filled. An automata coupling
wa mad at that- instant and th train
proceeded on Its Journey.
"While this was happening the engineer
suspected, from the working of th 'air,'
that something was wrong. Hs spok to

however, and ths brakeman, after hasty
Inspection, reported all was well. "Chi
