BACON WITNESS
FOR STEEL TRUST
Former Ambassador Says
the Corporation Was Not
Formed as Monopoly.

NEW YORK. June 14.-Robert Bacon, a
poration, former ambassador to France,
and former member of the firm of J. p.
Morgan & Co., testified today as a wit
ness for the defense in the hearings of
the government suit to dissolve the cor
pora alton.
Mr.. Bacon was director of the Illinois
and Federal Steel companies before they
were acquired by the corporation and
figured in the organization of the parent
company. He resigned from his direc-
torate in 1905, he said. and was re-
elected in 1912.
The witness described in detail the ne
gotiations which led up to the formation
of the corporation and corroborated the
testimony of Judge Gary that the idea Of
obtaining a monopoly or suppressing
competition was not discussed by its Or
ganiZerS.
Position of Morgan.
Mr. Morgan said that under no con-
sideration would he take part in any or
ganization that would restrain compe-
tition or be considered a monopoly" said
the witness. Mr.. Morgan believed that
If he could take part in the organization
of this corporation it would be the great
est and crowning achievement of his
business career. He believed that the eff
feet of the corporation would be tre-
mendously beneficial to the industrial
fabric of this country.
Judge Gary, chairman of the cor
poration. has carried out Mr.. Morgan's
ideas. He has changed the old methods.
He has abolished the old order of war
fare and destructive competition and
has been responsible for new conditions
in other industries as well as in steel"

Did Mr.. Morgan, who took part in the
formation of the United States Steel Cor
poration, take part in the formation of

ed Henry E. Cotton of counsel for the
government on cross-examination.
Yes"
And you were in the formation as a
director?''
Yes.
"And the Northern Securities Company
was dissolved?'
Yes
Mr.. Bacon admitted that the mainte-
nance of pools was probably" not con-
trary to the policy of Charles NJ. Schwab
and William E. Corey, former presidents
of the corporation, but insisted that the
policy of the corporation itself and that
of Judge Gary was emphatically against
them.
