DEMEshONEYTRUST
ALL THE BANKS IN CHRiSTEN.
DOM COULD NOT FORM COM
BiNE SAYS j. p. MORGAN.
FAvoRs
FinancIer Disclaims knowledge That
He Yields Vast Power-Secks
No Such Position In
Finance.

Washington, Dec. 21.-J. Pierpont
Morgan told the money trust investi.
cation committee of the house that
all the money In christendom and
all the banks In c~hristendom" could
not form a monopoly. Mr.. Morgan dis
claimed any knowledge that he WELD
ed q vast power in modern finance,
and declared emphatically that he
sought no such power.
For nearly five hours the chief wit
ness, called by the committee in it's
probe OF the intricacies of modern f.
nance, stood q running fire OF ques-
tons that covered every phase of a.
nancial operation.
Remarkable Hearing.
In some respects it was one Of the
most remarkable hearings about the
halls of congress In recent years, with
Mr.. Morgan as the type and embodi-
ment Of financial operations on a
colossal scale, and the committees
counsel. Samuel U~nte-myer, the rep
resentative element which seeks to
probe to the innermost recesses the
conditions under which vast financial
operations are conducted.
Prefers Coordination"
Mr.. Morgan gave at length his views
on competition, combination coopera.
ton and control in industry and fl
nance, particularly the latter. He de-
clared that he "did not mind competi-
tion," but that he preferred "combina-
ton" In his operations. He was en-
phatic In his declaration that there
Is no way one man can get a monop-
oily OF money"
Throughout the long examination to
which Mr.. Morgan submitted with an
evident willingness to answer, there
was not a moment when interest
Jagged. Short, sharp questions and
answers came with striking rapidity.
While the ~colloquys were at times
emphatic there was no serious clash
between Mr.. Morgan and Idr. Inter
myer.
Mr.. Morgan gave a ready response
to questions, although there was often
a battle OF wits as to the meaning and
effect OF various financial conditions
and operations.
Tho question of competition and
combination brought about a lively in
terchange between the noted financier
and Mr.. Untermyer, the latter opening
the tilt with the suggestion that Mr..
Morgan was opposed to competition.
The witness denied this, but said
that he favored cooperation" add.
ing that he was in no way opposed to
competition and in fact liked a little
competition"
Dlsagrees With untermyer.
He disagreed with the views of Mr..
Untermyer on the question of inter-
locking d~irectorates, which forms the
basis for a large part of the statistical
evidence that makes up the record of
the money trust investigation up to
date. Without actual control, Mr..
Morgan claimed, there is no control,
although some directors may be com.
mon to several corporations.

Still After The Express COMPANIES.

Still After The Express Companies.
The Hon. David ]. Lewis, member of
Congress from the Sixth Maryland Dis
trict, is still waging his fight to establish
the parcels Post" system in the United
States and do away with the Express
Companies. In the July number of the
Editorial RevieaU is printed an article
from his pen which everyone should read.
1t shows plainly why the high cost of
selling farm products on city markets and
holds that the express companies are re-
sponsible.
Just last week we had occasion to send
a package weighing five pounds to Walk
ersville. We carried it to the depot and
the accommodating agent, Mr.. H. W.
Ruch, informed US the express charges
would be fifty-five cents. Of course it
was not his fault, but that of the ex-
press companies-the American on the
Western Maryland and the Adams on
the Northern Central. The distance to
haul is not over twenty miles, and while
the Adams company controlled both roads
the charge for the package would have
been Is cents. We later mailed the same
goods in two packages at cost of forty
two cents.
Why not help Mr.. Lewis in his fight
against the express companies?
