die the vast issues of securities now
demanded by the commercial and in

But the bank reesrve system, it is fur
ther contended, concentrates a large
part of the funds of the smaller banks
In New York, where group of men
have strengthened their interest in the
various banking institutions, the report
said.
If, therefore, by a money trust is
meant an established and well defined
identity and community of interest be-
tween a few leaders of finance which
has been created and held together
through stock holdings, interlocking
directrates and other forms of oomi-
nation over banks, trust companies,
railroads, public service and Industrial
corporations and which has resulted in
a vast and growing concentration of
the control of money and credit in the
hands of a comparatively few men,
your committee, as before stated, has
no hesitation in asserting as the result
of its investigation up to this time that
the condition thus described exists In
this country today.

created, the situation is fraught with
too great peril to our institutions to be
tolerated.
Discussing the control of issues of Sc
curities by this so-called money trust,
the report said:
Through their power and domination
over so many of the largest financial
institutions, which constitute the princi-
pal first outlets for security issues. the
inner group and it's allies have drawn to
themselves practically the sole marketing
of the issues of the greater railroad,
producing and trading and public utility
corporations which in consequence have
no market to which to appeal, and from
this position of vantage, fortified by the
control exerted by them through voting
trusts, representation in directorates,
stock holdings. fiscal agencies and other
relations. they have been able in turn to
direct deposits and other patronage of
such corporations to these same financial
institutions thereby strengthening the in
struments through which they work"
The report condemned interlocking di-
rectorates, consultations and voting
trusts.
1T is manifestly improper" said the
report, "and repugnant to the theory
and practice of competition that the same
person or members of the same firm shall
undertake Ito act in such inconsistent

The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-03-01
Domination Effective

TO say that the domination of the
group over the money and credit of
the country, controlled by our largest
financial institutions and that is avail
able for financing large security issues
for the current needs of our principal
Interstate corporations and of the in
dividuals conducting great enterprises
and for stock exchange loans, is at
leastiaS effective as, for ms tance. is the
control of the United States Steel cor
poration over the steel industry, as an
understatement of the situation, al
though the methods by which this con-
troll is effected and held together are
of course essentially different and of
more loose and intangible character"
Accepting this as the long sought
money trust the committee outlined the
membership as follows:
"The parties to this combination or un-
derstanding or community of interest by
whatever 1t may be called may be con-
yeniently classified for the purpose of
differentiation. into four separate groups.
The first, which for convenience of
statement we will call the inner group,
consists of j. p Morgan & Co., the recog-
nized leaders, and George F. Baker and
James Stillman in their individual capaci-
ties and in their joint administration and
control of the First National bank, the
National bank, the Guaranty Trust com
pany and the Bankers Trust company,
with total known resources, in these cor
porations alone, in excess of 81, 800, 900 900.
and of number of smaller but Important
financial institutions. This takes no ac-
count of the personal fortunes of there
gentlemen.
CLOSELY allied with this inner or pri-
mary group and indeed related to them
practically as partners in many of their
larger financial enterprises, are the pow
erful international banking houses of Lee.

''ln Chicago this inner group associates
with and makes issues of securities in
joint account, or through underwriting
participations primarily with the First
National bank and the Illinois Trust and
Savings bank and the more or less friend
ly business relations with the Continental
and Commercial National bank. which
participates in the underwriting of secur-
ity issues by the inner group. These
are the three largest financial institu-
tons in Chicago, with combined resources
of $561, 100000
"Radiating from these principal groups
and closely affiliated with them are

age from the dominating groups and are
used by the latter as jobbers or dis
tributors of securities the issuing of
which they control, but which for rea-
sons of their own they prefer not to
have issued or distributed under their
own namesS
Existence of Various Sub-Gr0ups
Beyond these inner groups are SUBJ
groups of banks and bankers through
out the country who cooperate with them
in underwriting or guaranteeing the sale
of securities offered to the public and
who act as distributors of such securi-
ties.
''The patronage thus proceeding from
the inner group and its sub-groups is
OF securities offered to the public and
ters, who are thus tied by self interest
to the great issuing houses, and may be
regarded as a part of this vast finan-
cial organization''
Concluding it's findings as to the ex-
istence of money trust, the committee
said:

ever well founded may be the assurances
of good intentions by those now holding
