had been paying quarterly, public at
tentlon has again been drawn to this
monster corporation, which, engineered
by ]. Plerpont Morgan. has been puz-
zle to the stock market ever since Its
inception. Thousands upon thousands OF
people are financially interested In this
great industrial enterprise, the stock Of
which has been bought all over the
country. The story OF the formation OF
the company which has excited SO
many hopes and fears since 1t first
came Into being Is in itself one OF the
most interesting romances OF the many
that have marked the industrial devel-
opment of the United States. 1t may
be said that the United States Steel
corporation was born as the result Of
conditions which threatened to shake
the steel interests Of the country from
head to foot, and, It has been asserted.
Its contamination was forced" at
time when many OF those since SO
prominently identified with 1t deemed
It inadvisable to effect the consolida.

At that time the various branches OF
the steel business were pretty thorough

Borbed Individual conce. MS operating
in direct competition with one another.
The several trusts" thus formed had
not, however, FLASHED to any great ex-
tent. Three years ago rumors began to
be heard Of impending trouble. It was
said that Andrew Carnegie, then the
paramount factor in the steel world
was about to spend $12,0oO.000 in build
ing and eQuipping steel plant at Con-
neaut, O., that would be the finest in
the world and would assuredly injure
the National Tube company, one Of the
corporations referred to above and one
In which Mr., Morgan was especially
interested. About the same time also
there were hints that the ruling powers

and other auxiliary concerns intended
TO enter into direct competition with
Morgan companies. and 1t was added
that the American Steel and Wire COM
pany yet another OF the firms that had
been built up by the consolidation OF
competing interests. was on the eve OF
taking some step that would have an
unIhVOEHDle erect Oh the elltIIe steer
industry. All these rumors, Of course,
had an immediate effect upon the stock
market, that barometer Of speculative
opinion, an effect that was calculated
to give capitalists other than Mr.. Nor
gan much food for thought.
From the Morgan point of view the
greatest menace lay in the proposals
that were accredited to the Carnegie
interests. 1t was asserted among 9TH
er things that the then president of the
Carnegie company, man who has
since become widely known through his
connection with the United States Steel
corporation. Charles NJ. Schwab. planned

1t was, Of course known to Mr.. Nor
gan, as 1t was also known TO the major
ity OF flnanclers. that Mr.. Carnegie had
long been hoping to find way of re-
firing from the control OF the great
business he had built up. but It did not
suffice, in Mr.. Morgan's view OF the
case, to acquire the Carnegie interests
only. Feelers were judicIously cast out,
and It was discovered that several Of
the most important OF the bis, steel corr
porations were willing to enter Into a
still larger combination, provided they
could be admitted on satisfactory
terms. The promoters OF the undertake
