GARY EXPLAINS THE DEAL
Tells of Absorption of Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company.

Washington, June 5.-New light on
the absorption of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company by the steel corpo-
ration was given by Elbert H. Gary in
response to questions by Representa-.
tive Littleton.

j. Pierpoint Morgan called him over
to the bank and said that Schley of
the firm of Schley & Moore, the syndi.
cate holding the Tennessee Coal and
Iron stock, was greatly in need CT
money. Gary said that at Mr. Nor.
gan's suggestion he loaned him ST..
250,000 in steel bonds, receiving as
security S2,000,000 in stock of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company.
1t was in November at Morgan $
suggestion that the plan for the pur
chase of Tennessee Coal and Iron was
first broached, Morgan declaring that
unless the purchase was made or the
steel company rendered some assist
ance the panic would result in tre
mendous disaster
Gary said he would talk the matter
