A picture of the menace of the .United States Steel Corporation crushing . the inde pendent tin, plate ; manufacturers in the event the7 tariff hars. -were let down for foreign products and a revelation of the complete '"indifference toward tariff revision shown' by " the Singer Sewing Machine Company, character? ized by the Independents f as a trust," featured today's hearing on the metal schedule before the House Committee on Ways and Jeans. 'There were many witnesses testifying' to a great variety of articles . borne on v the Iron and Steel portion ;of the tariff , and the committee, continued in session tonight. The independent manufacturers of tin plates were represented oy E. R. Crawford, of 'Pittsburg; president ' of crush foreigncompetition and that the the McKeesport Tin Plate Company The Steel Corporation was not repre sented. Mr Crawford offered a com' promise suggestion of a. tin plate: tar iff of 85 cents a ' ton - and - was harply cross-examined. ;He.said if. the tariff was cut so that .foreign ' competitors of the Steel, Corporation, were Jet; tn he feared that -the - corporation . would retaliate by adjusting? things so as to independents here would go down with the foreigners. -Y'"- sc-k f$thitp " tion," he addedv'siaaply suffers u to do husinessl: " Itl fs 'strong enough fo put us out of business' in less than' week if it cared to."

"You might f pat a weapon' in their hands to enable', them to make a price to keep out foreign producers, with whom we might go down. Mr. Palmer; responded by asking: if the witness thought there was danger, considering the present state of public mind, of the' corporation putting the independents out of business: The witness said' that. a tariff reduction in favor of foreign ; "competitors might g-ive the corporation an "excuse" to' drive out competition, and that he wanted the tariff to keep that" excuse away from the corporation. He testified to his belief that' the Steel Corporation ?thas steel-producing capacity today greater than Great Brit ain and Germany combined and that with all that-it 1 represented only.65 per cent of the steel-producing capa city of this country;" that "it could defend its position, absolutely, even if the tariff was; wiped out; " land "it felt absolutely secure," and "cantake care of itself from legislation, no . mat ter what may arise." He said there was a shortage of steel today and that the corporation .was "at the. helnv" What he was afraid of, he said, was that the Steel Corporation would go out after the California market. " "There goes the ghost of the corpo ration again," rV said Representative Palmer, scornfully.- . ; "To you think,, asked Representa tive James, Democrat, that the Steel Corporation ought to be subsidized to the extent you advocate in order to aid the independents to do business?" "I don't regard it as a subsidy," the witness replied, i"; ; . W.

Rep resentative Longwortb, of Ohio,: Re Publican, asked where he found any mention of such a covenant In the Democratic platform or otherwise? "I find it everywhere," said Mr. Auerbach, who, however, replied that" he would cite some utterances of the leaders. Mr. Longworth read into the record a speech' of Representative Harrison, of New York, a Democrat and member of the Ways and Means yommittee, which led Mr, Harrison to say that he always believed that the question of cosf prices was more important than the 'cost of production."

The, Turkish delegates were im movable and "said nothing could induce them to chaivee their minds .rmo.ern- ing the possession of Adrlanople. The position of the powers is most difficult because all their deliberations are. invalid unless by unanimous con sent. The note was agreed upon for the' reason that, although Turkey com plains that the powersfMid not keep their word that even the ' war should not change" the status quo in the Bal kans the powers were able to answer that the fault was with Turkey, which for'S years found no way to put into effect article 23 of the Berlin treaty concerning' reforms in European Tur key.

' ' Arrangements for the 'final steps In the case against' Judge Archbald were made in- a secret session of the-Senate. ' -The question of whether, a- judge could be impeached, for offense that did not make him , subject ' to' indict ment under, the law was raised; by Senator McCumber, of (North Dakota, but was -withdrawn without a formal vote havinfir been taken.

Senator Root offered a motion to have the question of "guilty or not guilty" submitted in dividually to each Senator in each of Lthe . 1$ articles of Impeachment. This was modified at the suggestion of Sen ator Clark, of Arkansas, and the indi vidual . question to each Senator fol lowed in the case of the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson, will give way to a general submission of each article, to be followed by a roll call vote, on each, j It i8f expected that in case Judge Archbald should be found guilty by a two-thirds vote ohi any article of im peachment, a resolution will; be offer ed by some Senator proposing that the penalty shall be limited. to his removal from' office and shall not bar him in the future from holding office.-; This proposal was not made formally in the secret session today, but probably will be pressed if the accused jurist should - be convicted. Leading ; mem bers of. the Senate expressed doubt today as to the success of the propos ed plan to modify the penalty. The first .article of impeachment upon which a vote will be taken al leges that Judge Archbald tried to in fluence officials of the Erie Railroad which had suits pending in 'his court, to grant him a favorable option upon a refuse coal dump owned by a sub sidiary of the railroad.
