"Possibly you may remember," ha said, "when I appeared before tho com mittee last year, we had in mind in vestigation of steel, completion of tho beef investigation, investigation of oil, sugar, and tobacco. The steel inves tigation was quite inexpensive, : be cause we were furnished the work by the United States Steel Corporation, and as yet we have had to expend al most nothing. If we had done the w ork, It would have cost a good many thousands of dollars. In the tobacco investigation wo did most of the work that we intended. "The sugar Investigation we had to hold up, and part of the tobacco inves tigation, because of the Immunity de cision, until it was determined just how we stood on that matter. Then, when the special developments came out in regard to the discrimination in the transportation of the oil, the attention of the entire burfia'a" had to '1)0 given to that, and we could not really under take another investigation at that time. The result has been that we have not done as much work as we expected. That shows the difficulty of estimating before hand. "The past two ears have been abnor mal because it is a new bureau, and we 'have run up against these legal ques tions like the immunit question, and we feel now that these questions are set tled and we can get the bureau organ ised so that we can handle the work, and will need all the money estimated to carr on the work started and held up." - Representative Littauer: "You think ou can expend 1200,000?" Mr. Smith: "Yes, sir; if we carry out the work wo Intend to do we shall. The steel work is a vast job, and when we get our men working, Instead of having the United Slates Steel Corpor ation furnish the figures. It Is going to be very expensive, and similarly with tho tobacco and sugar investigations." Itepresentative Brandige: "Did the United States Steel Corporation do the work your men should have done? Is that corporation supplying you with the Information upon which to make a proper investigation?" Mr. Smith: "Yes, sir; they furnished us with a lot of statistics in regard to tho cost of various kinds of production. Then, we have the right to go to their books' and check tho figures up. That has saved us a great deal of work, and we get it in much better shape. That has saved us a great deal of work, and we get it in much belter shape." Mr. Littauer: "They submit the fig ures for you to check up instead of you going to their books and taking them?" Mr. .Smith: "Yes, sir. Then we wilt take up the whole steel industiy, not merely the steel corporation, and that will take a lot of money." YOUNG MAN AND CHILD DROWNED. (By tho Associated Press.) Flint, Mich., June 25.
