The Iron and steel schedule was taken up today by the house ways and means committee when It resumed hearings on tariff Te vision. Two days probably will be de voted to this important session. Many prominent steel men are expected to be heard. ' ' ' Schedule "C" is ono of the big schedules of tariff legislation and has always drawn a large representation of industrial, officials and exports to Wushington. Confronted by contradictory testi mony during the .consideration of chemical and earthen and glassware schedules, the committee today began tha practice of requiring all wit nesses to testify under oath. Hereaf ter every person who appears to ad vise the committee what it ought to do and how it would affect his inter ests mum give his views and couch his answers under the solemnity of an oath administered by the olerk of the cpmmlttee. The beginning of .this practice was at the suggestion oi tiep resentative James of . Kentucky and tho committee agreed o it by unani mous vote. " The basis of the hearing today was the Underwood metal revision .bill, passed but vetoed during the last ses sion of congress. The tentative plan of .tho committee Is to" follow it very closely. This in a general way is the plan of the democratic leaders with respect to all the tariff schedules cov ered by separate bills which passed the house and senate at the last session. The tentative democratic plan bases all rates on the value of the articles Instead of the specific rates of the present Payne-Aldrich tariff law and would uut on the free list Iron rfre, nn ik fftitM r ton. tunirsten and slue OnlV TWO Senators AffaillSt bearing ores, hoop or band iron, barb- " I i l.u knr.. ea inu nil umvi -- shoe nails, iron or steel cut nails or spikes, wire staples, cut tacks, Wagn ers, nuts, horse shoes and cash regls tors.

The appeal of the government from the-holding of the lower court Was made by Solicitor-General Bullett. He declared the constitutionality of the Sherman act as a criminal measure was now be yond dispute. The combination of from 70 to 80 per tent-of all the shoe machinery business oj the country Into one.- he contended, was in Itself so great a proportion of the : entire business as to constitute a restraint of trade within the meaning of the Sherman law. Thie Bolleltor-general also contended that tlte adoption of a series of leases containing a so-called "tying' clause whereby every custo mer, in order to secure any one kind of machine from the "combine" was compelled to agree not to use any other machine made by the "Indepen dents" and to use only machinery made by the combine was also In vio lation of the law.- . Frederick P. Fish and Charles F. Choate, Jr., of Boston, were present to defend the action of the officials. They took the position that the con solidation of . the i separate concerns into the XTnited Shie Machinery com pany, was a normal trade develop ment. As to the "Hying" clause they declared the cour did not at this stage have the power to consider mat, because it was merely an overt act, charged it prove the conspiracy and not a part of the conspiracy itself, which was the only thing the court could review.

Washington, Jan. 10.- Oral under standing to. maintain rates between the Lamport and Holt line, the Hous ton line, the Prince line, tho Barber line and Weir and Boy's line, carry ing commerce between New York and LaPlata, Montevideo, has existed since January, 1912, according to testimony of Paul F, Gerhart, New York agent of the Prince line, : today before the house merchant marine committee. His line, he further testified, had an other understanding with lines doing business between New York and' South Africa. In the LaPlata trade he de clared there were no rebates and no division of territory. , "The time was when we New York agents of the lines were permitted to make rates on certain articles," said Mr. Gerhard.' "Now they are made in London." When was that change made?" asked Representative Humphreys. ,-, "I should say about two years ago." Speaking of the South. African trade witness said he believed there was no pooling but he had no doubt that the London office saw to It that each line got Its proportion of the trade by regulating the trip of the tpcUveJ steamers. - ',, Mr. Gerhard test Tied that with the four or five largest New York export ers to LaPlata special contracts were made by the lines and smaller export ers then given the same rates, Representative Alexander suggested this presented competition In rates, 'Rate cutting ! a most unfortunate position to be In," replied Mr. Ger hart. "You can't run steamers unless on a paying basis. You can't do' It on a paying basis except you have an un derstanding against cutting rates. We have had some bitter experiences.1 PooHnjr of Frehrht. , W. M. E. Halm, New York agent for tho Houston line, testified that a Lon don conference controlled the New York trade In South Africa. I may say I know that the freights are pooled," he testified. Subject to that conference were tho Houston line, the Prince line, the Hansa line, the Union Clay line and the American African line. He declared not a ship per was dissatisfied with the South African service. Chairman Alexander asked whether the Houston line was In any agree ment relating to freight or passenger traffic between the United States aid the Plata. Rates for this trade, the witness said, were made in New York, at conferences among representatives of the various steamship lines, a! though no written agreements were entered Into. The conferences, he said, were held once a week. In fixing the rates, the witness added, an effort was msiio to keen them on a oarltv TITTCS AFTER 49 YEARS with rates from Germany and Eng. lana. sr, naim aeciarea insi mn company had not giveh rebates on outgoing cargoes from the . United States for many years. I know nothing about rebates from cargoes from Argentine to the United States," said the witness, "but I know from correspondence that rebates ar rangements exist." Asked whether there were any agreement between railroads and steamship companies as to through rates, Mr. Halm said that as far as he knew no such, agreements ever wers entered Into. By Associated Press. Washington, Jan 10. Confirmation of some of President Taft's recent ap pointments is expected in the senate within the next week. Democratic leaders, working on a plan permitting endorsement of some of the appoint ments without approving all, believe they will reach a basis to confirm some of the nominations without act ing on those they regard as most ob jectionable. --'-- Suggestions of a republican filibus ter against all legislation, Including appropriation bills, . unless the dem ocrats confirm all appointments have met objection by republican leaders on the ground that the Republican ad ministration would'suffer most if ap propriatlon bills were held up. It is expected that the republicans will not agree to any formal compromise be fore going Into executive session but will endeavor first to force action up on all appointments. Failing in that. some basis of agreement may be ar rived at An executive session un doubtedly will be taken as soon as the Archbald Impeachment trial is dis posed of. i - , ; G. F.

The millions ' which the First National bank of New York has available for Investment was disclosed at today's hearing of George F. Baker, chairman of the bank's board, before the house money trust Investigating committee. Mr. Baker, popularly referred to as "the biggest man. In tho street," testi fied that the bank - had $74,000,000 available for Investment, of : whicii $31,000,000 was out In demand loans and $25,000,00 In time loans and dis counts. The bank holds $43,466,000 in securities and has gross deposits of about $110,000,000. Counsel Uhtermyer, for the com mittee, led Mr. Baker through a line of questioning which was Intended to bring out his close relations with the . railroads in the anthracite fields, usually referred to as the hard coal trust, without developing moron, than is definitely known. Twice when Mr. Untermyer wanted information of the banks connected with the First Secur Itlea company, the question was held in , abeyance until Mr, Baker could confer with his counsel. When Mr. Baker resumed the stand today he asked permission to make a statement. . . "You made me out such a great holder -of --tfhswhp yestertiryr" saloTto Mr. Vtftermyer, "that I wish . to say that I never became a director . or a voting trustee of any company at my own solicitation." - "We have just begun to ask you about, your directorships," said Mr. Untermyer. Reluctant to Answer. Mr. Untermyer asked Mr. Baker If he could supply, a statement of the accounts by which the First National . bank Jointly with other institutions handled through syndicates issues of securities. The witness said his coun sel had advised him that to demand this Information was beyond the pow ers of the committee. The facts were not known in detail by the comptroller of thai currency.

On November 1, the bank had 149 accounts with balances of $2,67,22T.44. Mr. Untermyer tried In vain to have Mr. Baker testify that the First Secur ities company and the First National bank were operated practically an a single concern. - The Interest of Mr. Baker In the First Securities company and allied concerns In the hard coal roads was discussed. A request for a list of all stocks held by the Securities com pany.met with a tentutlve refusal and the question waa passed to allow con ference with counsel. Mr. Untermyer questioned Mr. Bak er a to whether he was concerned in the formation of the alleged "hard coal trust,'' through the organization of the Temple Iron company, recently ordered dissolved by the courts. Mr. Untermyer produced a syndicate agreement forming the company, signed by Mr. Baker, J. P. Morgan. H. McK. Twombley, William Rockefeller. James St Hi man, Drexel ft Company of Philadelphia, and the Guaranty Trim . company of New York. Mr. Baker could not recall clearly In Just what roads he held directorships.
