In 1928 'tn a rerfewrWs 50-y-rnnbus- nexs he said, in substance, that he was pronder of the fact that he neser had ben a calamity howler than he was of his industrial suc-rette and their resultant accumulation of wealth Few men got more pleasure out-of life than did Mr. Schwab and . none was better Qualified to speak. on the various economic and fin anclal conditions experienced in the range from obscurity to the' class of multi-millionaire. He began as a stage driver when he was a young man and rose to the presidency of the United States Steel Corporation, the first billion dollar company In American Industry. Then he organised and became head of the Bethle r hem Steel Corporation, the prtn-j jclpal competitor of the United States Steel Corporation.
