MORGAN PLANS BIG

Combined Capital Of Companies Men
TONED 10 $91 900 900 and Year
ly Output 10000 Cars.

New York, N. Y, Mar. 15.-Wau
street believes that ]. P. Morgan Ia
grooming the automobile manufactur-
ing trade preparatory to leading 1t into
q mammoth corporation that shall ex-
ercise in the automobile field an inbu-
ence as powerful as that exercised In
the steel trade by his billion dollar
Steel Trust, and as that to be exer-
cised in the copper markets Of the
world by his proposed billion dollar
copper merger.
This was indicated by the announce
ment that J. P. Morgan & Co. had pur-
chased the majority of the stock Of
the Everitt-Metzger-F Flanders, or T. M.
F.. automobile manufacturing company
Of Detroit, for the purpose of COM
bining 1t with the Studebaker COM
Iany.
The combination Of these two COM
panies, 1t was pointed out, would. with
the General Motors Company as the
unit for the Middle West and the
United Motors Company as the unit
for the East, lend itself readily to any
larger combination that might be con-
templated.
\ 1t is in this way, Wall street re-
called, that Mr.. Morgan forms all his
great industrial combinations. First
he forms Independent concerns into
units and then amalgamates these
units into one big entity.
1t Is intimated that within few
years the automobile manufacturing
business of the country will be as COM
pletely monopolized as the Standard
Oil Company. Is, II not more SO.
These units were suggested as like
ly factors in a combination:
General Motors Company. control
ling about one dozen automobile manu-
featuring concerns, the principal be-
ing Rainier. Oldsmobile. Cadillac,
Buick, Oakland and Rapid and Reli-
ance trucks; present capital, $50 .000.-
