He is self made man and he nee
not be ashamed of his work.

"Unless You Give Ne Ten Mil
lions ] Will Ruin Your For
eisn Business "

Chicago Oct. A New York spe-
cial to the Inter-Ocezn says:
"Unless / am given the underwriting
of the bonds TO complete the consolida-
tion Of the packing houses, / will ruin
your dressed beef and provision trade
in Europe by raising steamship and
railroad rates ten cents hundred and
lowering the rates on live stock ten
cents a hundred. | made this state
ment to you, gentlemen, the day after
I returned from Europe, several weeks
ago, and repeat It today. 1t is my
ultimatum."
This statement, practically in these
words, made, Friday, by J. P. Morgan
TO representatives OF the Chicago Pack
ing house, forced an agreement be-
tween the Financial king and the
heads Of the mightiest industry in the
West. The underwriting OF the bonds
was turned over to ]. p. Morgan &
Company. The packing house consoli-
dation therefore Is now q fact. Nor
gan's fee is elO, 900, 600.
The $50, 600. 600 which will be the
amount left after Morgan receives his
fee for raising 500. .0O0, 600 is the sum
found necessary by the packers to per-
feet the new corporation, which will
control the meat business Of the world.
The greater part OF the money will be
used by the new corporation TO pur-
chase the various plants not already
bought and the balance will be employ.
ed as working capital.
The story back Of Morgan's ultima.
tum gives q splendid example OF the
dictator's methods. BY threatening to
wreck the foreign beef bu-iness of the
Chicago packers. he succeeded ir
wrenching from Kuhn, Loeb & Com
pany S., 600, 600 commission to under
write the slOO, OOO, 600 of bonds. More
over, he not only appropriated to him
self this lucrative commission, bu
forced from the packers fee twice a
large as that asked by Kuhn, Loeb s
company.
Nearly two moths ago Kuhn, Loeb 1
Company were retained by the pack
ers to underwrite the 500, ,0O0, 100 o
bonds necessary to perfect the consol
idation. The commission was given 4
this banking house because OF 1t
friendly relations with one of the thre
big packers. The fee asked and grant
ed was q. 600, 600 in the bonds of th
new corporation, which amount was .
