publishing house of D. Appleton \u0026amp; Company invited me to prepare a Life of Judge Gary, Chief Executive Officer of the United States Steel Corporation. The project had already been discussed with Judge Gary and a promise secured from him that if I would undertake the work he would turn over biographical data already gathered, and open to me the records of the Corporation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.13em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eSo unusual an opportunity was not to be passed by a writer who for twenty-five years has been dealing with one or another phase of contemporary business and industrial history. Judge Gary belongs to a group of powerful men who in the last fifty years have led in the creation in the United States of what we call Big Business. The most conspicuous of these leaders have been the elder Rockefeller in oil, the elder Morgan in banking, E. H. Harriman in railroads, and in the earlier half of the period Andrew Carnegie in steel. These men of undoubted financial and commercial genius typified certain attitudes of mind toward business and were the sponsors of practices and an etiquette essential to understand if we are to have a realizing and helpful sense of the actual development and meaning and potentiality of Big Business.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.13em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eJudge Gary is a leading figure among them, not because he is the head of the country's greatest industrial corporation, but chiefly because he has been a leader in developing a code of business practices, an attitude of mind radically at odds with that of the powerful at the time he became a factor to be reckoned with in their world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.13em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eFrom his entrance into steel, he held that the prevailing code was essentially wrong and also impracticable-bound to destroy rather than to establish a corporation. The unusual degree of success he has had in bringing his associates and competitors in the steel industry to accept his policies is the most significant story of the American business world of the last twenty-five years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.13em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eThe story is written in voluminous records-government hearings, investigations and examinations of the Corporation; sworn testimony in court; written correspondence; technical and controversial literature; the daily newspaper comments; the files of the Bureau of Safety and Sanitation; the minutes of the Finance Committee and the Board of Directors. All of this important source material, printed or in manuscript, is in the open library or under lock and key at the Corporation's headquarters, and as promised has been freely opened to me. Whenever I have found in it references to reports or letters which it seemed to me might illuminate a doubtful point, these have always been cheerfully unearthed and exhibited to me whatever the expense of time and trouble.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.13em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eThe unique Industrial Museum of the American Steel and Wire Company at Worcester, Massachusetts, the technical collections on wire and steel of the Congressional Library and the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh have been found useful. Other sources consulted have been the Roosevelt papers in the Manuscript Department of the Congressional Library of Washington; records of the Federal Trade Commission in the matter of \"Pittsburgh Plus\"; and the full correspondence of President Harding, Secretary Hoover and Judge Gary regarding the abolition of the twelve-hour day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.13em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eI have been helped in my effort to understand these records by many persons associated with Judge Gary in the development of the Corporation, including officers, members of the Finance Committee, and presidents and executives of the subsidiary companies. I have also talked with many of his competitors and with persons connected with various government investigations and prosecutions, among them Mr. James Garfield, Secretary of Commerce and Labor under President Roosevelt; and Mr. George W. Wickersham, Attorney-General during President Taft's administration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.13em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eJudge Gary himself has been generous in taking time to discuss with me the events of his life, to explain his professional policies and principles and his relations with his contemporaries, among whom are some of the most important figures in the industrial and business life of the country in the last twenty-five years. These conversations have been an interesting and illuminating experience. It was possible to voice freely to Judge Gary my own points of view, to express whatever doubts I may have had of a particular policy or performance, to be listened to respectfully and to talk the matter out in that impersonal and unbiased spirit which so many of his associates and competitors consider one of his most remarkable characteristics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.13em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eIt will be seen from this summary statement that the facts in this book are drawn from the most authentic sources, in many instances unpublished and hitherto inaccessible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.13em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eThe responsibility for the interpretations made rests solely with the author.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.13em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eIDA M.
