U.S. STEEL CASE IS BEFORE COURT Government Appeals From Lower Court's Dismissal of Suit to Dissolve Corporation By Associated Press Washington, March 9. Hearings on the government's suit to dissolve Mfe United States Steel Corporation begun to-day by the Supreme atirt. An array of counsel far both sides appeared in the hearings' which ur© expected to last, until the middle of next week. Federal attorneys opened the argu ments, the government having appeal ed for dismissal by the New Jersey federal district court of its suit, which was begun in 1911 in President Taft's administration. The principal idea of the prosecu tion is domination by the corporation in the iron and steel industry. It is said to furnish more than one-half of the national production and to control prices. By its formation in 1901, the government alleges, competition was illegally stifled. The defense is that the corporation has actually operated beneficially, has not oppressed competitors nor the public and is not illegal merely be cause of its size and combined assets. In the lower court, the government's suit was dismissed, because, although the court found that the corporation was organized with intent to restrain trade and had actually done so, it was without power to alone fix and main tain prices and was not, therefore, a monopoly.

The damage from these pests is large every sea son, but during 191G the damage was away above normal on account of the wet and changeable weather. It will be the effort of Zoologist J. G. Sanders and his trained assistants to determine the areas in the State where the various broods of the white grub occur, and to determine the year of emergence of the adults, so that control measures may be adopted in the several infested sections. The May beetle or June beetle is the par ent of the common white grub which requires three years for maturing in the ground, while it feeds on and de stroys the roots of bluegrass, timothy, grains, strawberries, potatoes and other crops. The investigation work will be car ried on at such points throughout the State as seem advisable from records of injury to crops, secured through correspondence received at the De partment of Agriculture. It will be necessary to make considerable col-' lections of the adult beetles to deter mine the range of the twenty-five or thirty species which occur in this State. Nothing has been done in the past to determine the extent or range of these destructive pests. The Department of Agriculture will co-operate with the United States Bu reau of Entomology, which is carrying on similar work in some other States, and the farmers' help will be enlisted in caring for light traps during the (lying season of the beetles for about six weeks in May and June.
