MARCH 7.1912 rr IS A REAL TRUST BOW TBt STEEL TRUST CONTROLS THE SOLE MARKET BROUGHT OUT AT LAST “Gary Dinners,” Control of Raw Ma terials and System of “Interlock ing Directors” in the Various Companies Enable the Corporation to Rule Its Field as It Likes. The house steel trust investigating committee Wednesday made public the result of the inquiry into the books and minutes of the United States Steel corporation conducted by Farquhar J. McRae, an expert ac countant. The McRae report reaches the con clusion that the steel corporation op erates in restraint of trade and pre vents competition through a manipu lation of prices, through the influ ences of the socalled “Gary dinners," by control of raw materials and through a system of interlocking di rectors in various companies. It also tends to contradict some of the testi mony given by steel trust oiiicials. Some of the figures dealt with in the report are startling. It ts shown that J. F. i.lorgan & Co., received ap proximately |70,0U0,000 in cash pro fits for organizing the big steel com bine, and that the net profits of the concern for the first nine jears of its existence were more than a million dollars. Steel corporation officials objected to producing their books before the committee, but consented to place them freely at the disposal of an ex pert to be named by the commi tee Mr. McRae made a thorough study of the books and minutes, and in his THEY l! 1 ANT BILL TAFT SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS ENDORSE HEM. A STOm SESSION GOT. BLEASE WAS CRITICISED IN HEATED DEDATE. SOME VERY WARM TALK Convention Composed of Many Ne groes and a Few Whites Met -An Columbia Thursday. The State Convention of one wing of the Republican party, meeting in Columbia Thursday a fternoon, en- doraed the administration of Presi dent Taft and adopted a resolution in structing the four delegates at large to vote for Mr. Taft in the Chicago Convention. The district conventions will be held at a later date. The Convention also asked that the district delegates go instructed for the renomlnatlon of Taft. There was one speech delivered in the Conven tion In the Interest of Theodore Roo sevelt. The four delegates at large to the Chlcoga Convention were lected as follow*: Jos. W. Tlbert, Greenwood; J. Dnncan Adams, Charleston; J. R Levy, Columbia, and W. T. Andrews, Sumter. The alternates are: A. H. Johnson, Columbia; T. H. Williams, Newberry: J. H. Fordham, Orange burg, and Robt.

John son, the negro recorder of deeds of the United States Government, was present at the Convention and de livered a naddress. The convention was made up of about 150 negro delegates and sev eral white men, who are officers in the organization They all met In a hall on Assembly street Thursday af- ernoon and rontlnued In session un til about 9 o'clock that night, when the officials announced the result of! ,.nt erjjagi aient in Blacksburg Thurs- liy afternoon, and that the senate should send a committee to him at .>ncw ;>* U customary. Senator Whar ton's motion was again renewed aud a i om n; it tee of throe, composed of Several Senators Indulge In Acri monious Speech ax a Result of the Chief Executive’s Refusal to Make * Appointments Recommended by Senate in Accortlance With laiw. Clouds draped over the horizon of the senate Thursday, presaging the advent of squall yweather. Soon the thunder of debate echoed and the lightning of- acrimonious reference zig-zagged through the chamber. It was all occasioned by the governor refusln gto appoint magistrates and supervisors of registrotion in certain counties, after having been request ed so to do by the senate through resolution. Senator Waller was one of the centres and he openly announced that the house should have backbone enough to Impeach the governor If be did not make the appointments. Thursday morning Senator Whar- to.i moved to appoint three senators from the upper house to wolt on the governor and to ascertain if he had any other business for the senate. Senator Johnstone said that tine sen ate was not quite ready for adjourn ment, and suggested that the senate wait for at least on hour before It send the committee to the governor. A little later Senator Appelt re ported that the governor would leave about 1 the action. The entire afternoon was spent in speech-making. Preeideoit Taft was praised and his report to the committee he pointed > .^ministration indorsed in strong out these salient features: j’erms by many of the speakers Re- Tha: J F Morgan a: ( o , hea’lns f or( , n ) e t| nj f pad gone far it was the syndicate wtiuh organized the eV ident that it was a Taft meeting steel corporation, received a cash I ., n d tp a t tp*. delegation would to to profit of I6y.JuU.UtMi of which $6.,- rhiengo instructed for the renomina- 6UU,Uoo was for promotion, with an 1 , lon of the p r e,e nt president, additional commission of J6.suu.uuu One of the speakers, after a long for a bond conversion scheme. 1 sneerh announced that the time had That the net earnings of the cor-| roni<l f or t p e nomination of Theodore poration for a period of nine y ears .

He said that he was an old Confed erate soldier and had seen the vicis situdes of war and he did not intend to "back down” but would battle to the last for hla rights. The chair, at this point, said that there was no question under discus sion and that debate was out of or der.* Mr. Waller replied that he was speaking on a question of personal privilege on the way the chief execu tive of the State had treated him. Ho asserted that the governor had made other appointmnets and had refused to make his, therefore he thought that he.had a right to voice his ob jections to such proceedings. He said: “The governor has failed to appoint .Magistrate Kerr to ollice, and he has been recommended by me for the Greenwood delegation." He said that the senate had the constitution al right to give advise to the gov ernor, and be thought that there should be some way to ‘'order" the governor to make the appointments as were recommended. Senator Laney said that a concur rent resolution had been sent to the governor Wednesday asking for ap pointments and he had reported to the committee that he had nothing further to report and lie saw no rea son why the senate should remain In session longer. He then moved thot the clerk of the senate report to the house that the senate was ready to adjourn sine die. He later withdrew this to allow a res&I. Mon ‘.o be Intro duced. Senators Clifton and Christensen introduced ar esolution to advise the governor that the senate consented to the appointment of certain county officers.
