MORGAN COMBINES
STEAMSHIP LINES.

New York, April l9,--J, P. Morgan,
who Is now abroad has practically cont
summated a plan TO combine all the
leading transatlantic steamship lines.
London dispatches to the Associated
Press announcing the combination
We're today confirmed at the Morgan
banking house. The companies to be
consolidated viii, It isu nderstood, in
clude the American and Red star lines,
White star line, Dominion line, Allan
tic Transport line, and the Leyland
line The two last named lines have
been under Morgan control for some
time. Probable additions to this list
are the Cunard Wilson and Holland
American companies, and II is under
stood that a working agreement win
be reached with the other leading
Transatlantic companies including the
North German Lloyd, Hamburg Amer
lean, General Transatlantic (French),
Allen and Anchor lines.
Mr. Morgan has given the matter
much Of his time since his arrival on
the other side. In this country the more
important details have been In the
hands Of Clement A. Grlscom, Of the
American line, while Chas. steele Mr.
Morgan's partner In this city. has had
charge Of the legal preliminaries. II

there will be an American holding
company, into which all the steamship
companies which propose to enter the
combine viii put their stock holdings
pool their issues--in exactly the same
way that the various concerns em-
braced In the United Steel corporation
threw in their holdings. receiving in
return stock OF the main or parent
company.
Just what the capitalization Of the
company now Ia, Is not yet known. but
the amount Is likely to be well In excess
OF sliO0O0000. This phase Of the pro-
iect viii depend entirely upon the num-
Der Of steamship companies taken into
the combine.
One Of the most interesting features
of The plan deals With the subsidy
question The White Star and
Cunard lines receive liberal subsidies
from the British government These
subsidies would be withheld or abro-
gated II the ships of these lines chang

Because Of this the ships of the White

tipue nomlnally under British control.
