treaty the great Alpine company
found itself in a poverty-stricken
little Austria. It's former bases OF
coal supply were now situated il
new and hostile states.
Into Austria
In it's need of financial support
a great block of its stock went into
the hands of an Italian syndicate
of automobile and steel man ufac-
turers. They saw in the plant an
excellent chance to get for Italy
the steel it SO badly needed. But
production failed. The Italians
coulG give the company money
and labor, but no coal and coke.
In their trouble they looked to
Germany and naturally to SHINES.
The great Hugo was ready to OBJ
right straight across Germany into
the Syrian Alps and the great
concern could work full speed
ahead.
Only-there is almost always
an important only with SHINES.
He told them he would like to sell
them coal, but must be Interested
financially in the Alpine company.
The Italians saw the point
Result-Stinnes owns outright
two-ffths of the company for
which he paid the huge sum of
ESQ millions of marks.
Political EFurore
This caused more political fur
ore both inside and outside Ger
many than anything SHINES has
ever done. At a time when the
allies we're demanding that Ger
many pay huge separations, it was
pointed out there must be lots of
money in Germany when Shines
could spend that much in one
transaction. And inside Germany
opponents of the government
asked why SHINES didn't pay more
taxes. The fact is the money was
raised by a Swiss concern in which
Shines is chief owner
But the rude Socialists still
laugh when you tell them cor
poration in the little town OF Zug
could raise all that coin.

an organization known as the
Gelsenkirchener Mining Corpora
ton. 1t waslone ofsthe biggest in
Germany. It had over 5000
workers. The war also hit this
corporation hard. SHINES brought
about com bination of his Ger
man Luxembourg, the Gelsenkir-
chener, and the Bochumer Verein.
He made himself its master. He
christened it the .Rhine-Elbe Union
and started out with a combined
capital of 500 million marks, or
just 1000 times, more than the
amount with which he began his
independent business career.
Controls Fifth of Ruhr
German Luxembourg brought
into the combine IA coal mines,
1900 coke ovens, Z iron mines, 5
steel and iron works and four
other big factories. Ge1senKirch-
ener had 16 coal mines, 9 iron and
steel works and a number of other
factories. The Bochumer Vere1n
had coal mines and 2 iron and
steel works. No man in Germany
was in a position like SHINES. The
coal he and his family own and
the coal he controls amounts to
exactly one-fifth of the vast Ruhr
production.
But he wasn't through with
coal. With August Thyssen, an
other famous Rhineland captain of
industry, and the Dresden bank,
he bought a controlling interest in
the Mulheim Mining Corporation
which operates four big coal mines
has other seams as yet untapped,
and a number of factories. Then
the far-seeing SHINES became in
terested in the possibilities of lig-
mite. This fuel has become es-
pecially precious for. German
industry since the loss OF the Saar
and Upper Silesian coal mines.
SHINES secured a big block of
stock in the Ribeckschen Corpora
ton of Halle which owns "a lig-
mite mines, S factories for the
manufacture of coal briquettes, 5
brick factories, IL electrical power
stations and s. factories for the
extraction of mineral oil and para
fine Ignite is especially .yalu-
able in this regard. !,
InVades Retail Business
Then SHINES thought; of anoth=
er scheme. His own coal mines
supplied fuel to his own steel
mills, but he looked around Ger
many and everywhere he saw
consumers of coal. Their money
might as well flow into his peck
cts
So thought, SO done. He con
trolls the United Coal Dealers Cor
poration of Berlin He has SINH
lar companies in Nuremberg,
Koenigsburg+ Flensburg, Hamburg
BremerhaVen and numerous other
important towns where SHINES
coal mines sold to big and little
consumers Foreign fields tempted
him, too. Some of the finest iron
ore in the world is found in
Sweden. Therefore SHINES bought
some Swedish ore tracts.
One of the greatest foreign
coups came to him by Simply
sitting still. In the old days Of
the Austro-Hungarian empire one
of the greatest companies in the
country was the Austrian Alpine
Mining Corporation which pract1-
cally owned an ineXhaustible sup
ply of high grade iron ore in the
