MORGAN DENIES
ALASKAN TRUST
INSISTS NO MONOPOLY OF IN
DUSTRIES EXISTS
Declare Developments in Northern
Territory Had Been Paid for by
Company, No Stock Having
Been Sold to the Public
ASSOCIATED Press1


WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The inter
esting spectacle of the Morgan-Guggen-
helm syndicate, through legal repre-
sentatives, appearing before a con-
gressional committee to justify its
operations in the development of in
dustries in Alaska today packed the
room of the senate committee on ter
ritories. 1t was denied the syndicate
had a monopoly of any industrial in
terest.
The proceedings were unique Some
days ago Senator Beveridge received a
letter from j. P. Morgan & Co., asking
permission to send representatives to
answer exaggerated reports printed
in the magazines and newspapers of
the work of the syndicate formed by
that company and the Messrs. Guggen-
helm"
The permission was given, and today
John N. Steele, general counsel for the
syndicate, and Stephen B. Kirk, man
aging director, appeared.
Mr. Birch was put on the stand and
his story drawn out by Mr.. Steele. 1t
resulted in testimony that all the
money spent in the enormous develop
ment of Alaskan resources had been
furnished by the syndicate itself; that
the Morgan -Guggenheim syndicate had
not issued to the public single bond
or share of stock; that the syndi-
cate had never received anything from
the government in the way of money,
grants of land or special rights.
1t was testified further the syndicate
owned one railroad and had no interest
in any other in Alaska; that it owned
one copper mine and had no interest in
any other, and that it owned no coal
lands at all.
Depend on Patents
1t was said that the Cunningham
claims hinged on patents being issued
for the claims, and that these negotia-
tions had come to nothing. 1t was
shown that the syndicate was formed
in 1906 by the purchase of 46 per cent
of the stock OF the Northwestern Com
mercial company. which owned the
Northwestern Steamship company and
the Northwestern Fisheries company.
The latter company packs 100000
cases of salmon annually, as compared
with a pack of 100000 cases by other
interests. Last year the Alaska Steam
ship company was formed by reor-
ganization of the companies in which
the syndicate had bought large inter-
ests, and it now operates eleven steam
ers.
A long list of steamship companies in
which the Alaska syndicate has no in
terest was given in support of it's claim
that it was not monopoly.
Both Steele and Birch denied that the
syndicate was trying to ''gobble up
Alaska"
Interrogated by Senator Beveridge
concerning the syndicate's interest in
the coal land claims. Mr. Birch re-
piled that Messrs. Guggenheim had
agreed to form a $5,000,000 corporation
to develop the lands; one-half interest
to be held by the Guggenheims and the
other half by Cunningham and his as
sociates.
The Guggenheims We're to pay $250,0OO
for their half, he said, and in addition
were to loan 100000 if it was needed.
