NEW YORK, Dec. 25.—The impres-
sion gained In many quarters from
Andrew Carnegie's testimony before
the House Ways and Means Commit-
tee that the Laird of Skibo is back in
the steel business again, was further
strengthened today in Wall street
where it was reported on what was
said to be excellent authority that he

sense and Schwab's genius arc trav-

Mr. Carnegie's re-entrance into the
steel business., it was nolnted out
lioos not mean any fight against the
trust, on the property of which he
holds a first mortgage.
Rather, he realizes, It wan said, that
the industry has as yet reached the.
stage of only partial development, and
and that there is plenty of business—
and profitable business—for all con-
cerned. The ins We of the new Car-
negie-Schwab deal is said to be as fol-
lows:
When Schwab was put out of the
United States Steel Corporation's
presidency he was angry. He insisted
that he had handled he corporation's
affair In a manner that couM not prop
' erly be attacked, and he promised
himself—and some Indiscreet friends
perhaps—that he would get even.
He gaine«.1 control of t.hc Bethle-
hem Steel Works. Not content with
ihat, he came to New York, built that
ornate pile on Riverside Drive, ;it h

000, and set out to become a factor in
Wall street. He dabbled In mines
among other things it may he remem-

GOES TO CARNEGIE FOR AID
W. "F3. Corey, who succeeded Schwab
in the president's clmtr of the Steel
Corporation, had never been on good
terms with Schwab. They broke op-
enly following the events that have
been narrated.
It was at this time that Schwab
applied to Carnegie for aid. Schwab
bad hypothecated a good deal of his
stock, and while his position was
■ fundamentally sound enough, it might
