Holland, the New York correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Press, discussing the effect
OF the merger decision, says the result is a
severe blow to professional pride. Since

continues the correspondent, "%cnpital rep
resented by Mr., Morgan and Mr.. Hill, James
Sthlman and others, on the one hand, and
again by Mr.. Morgan and all of those who
are identified with the United States Steel
trust, that Is to say, capital aggregatinR
nearly $4,000, 600, 900, called upon the ablest
counsel in New York Citv for the drafting
of certain propositions, one involving the
development of corporate community of in
terest by a corporation with a capital Of
S4OO 'oOO'O 900, and the other a contract for the
exchange Of 5000, 600, 900 of preferred stock
or the steel corporation into bonds aggre-
eating a like amount. Not before in any
one year have the lawyers OF New York or
any other city been called upon to formu-
late propositions of this kind, so that they
could be the charter of the proceedings pro-
posed by these Capitalists.
Both OF the propositions are in many OF
their features absolutely new. In both OF
them there were the rocks Of statutory or
or common law obstacles to surmount or
pass around. Each of them involved. not
only directly hundreds of millions. but also
indirectly the enormous fiotation Of capital
or security Obligation. In the one case
there was need OF the advisory services OF
a fnancier who understood well all the arti-
nclalities OF modern financing, and to this
service George W. Perkins was called.
The proposition involving the exchange
OF United States Steel stock for bonds was
exceedingly difficult, both from the point OF
view OF finance and of common law or statu-
tory requirements. The Northern Securities
proposition did not present many dincuItIes
from the financing point of view, but It was
confronted by, first, the political opposition
OF much of the northwest, and, next, by the
obstacles discovered both in the state and
federal requirements.
