MORGAN
NOMINAL HEAD
OF u. S. STEEL

NEW YORK, Dec. 81, tP-John
Pierpont Morgan, International bank
er, has become nominal head of the
United States Steel corporation
founded by his father.
The board of directors, meeting
here today, elected him as chairman
OF the board to succeed Elbert H
Gary, who died in August. Myron c.
Taylor, attorney and corporation ex-
ecutive, was named as chairman Of
the finance committee; post also
held by Gary James A. Farrell con-
tinues as president of the corporation
and becomes its chief executive Of
ficer under direction and supervision
of the finance committee and board
of directors.
This :. action virtually places the
deStinies of the corporation in the
hands of a triumvirate representing
finance, business and steel. While
i Morgan is titular head Of the corr
poration the chairman of the board
no longer is an executive officer,
Farrell, as chief executive, is unde1
direction of the finance committee
of which he, Morgan, Taylor, George
F. Baker, ST., William j. Filbert, Ma
than l.. Miller and Percival Roberts,
Jr., are members.
The election of Morgan as chair
man of the board,l it was explained
1 by associates, will not add to his
executive responsibilities he having
acquired title and not an office"
His acceptance of the post was view
ed as a means of continuing the
close interest of the Morgan family
| in the affairs of the corporation.
This is the first titular position
held by Morgan outside his own
banking firm which he entered three
years after his graduation from Har-
ward in 1889, although he has been
director in other corporations, no
tably the Pullman company.
Taylor, regarded as financial
genius and organizer has been close
! " identified with the First National
Bank interests, headed by George
F. Baker, ST., in the last few years.
He became member Of the board
of directors of the steel corporation
three years ago and his special tai
ent won for him place on the fl
nance committee. 1t was only re-
Gently that he was prevailed upon
to take over the Craftsmanship of
the finance committee. A position
which, by action of the directors to-
day in releasing the chairman of the
/ board from executive responsibility,
becomes in effect the highest active
office in the corporation.
Farrell is now free to concentrate
his efforts on manufacturing opera
tions and foreign and domestic sales
! in which he has been eminently
successful. He is recognized as the
steel industrys greatest expert on
foreign sales, and is reputed to be
possessed of an encyclopedia mind
because of his fund of knowledge
regarding trace statistics and meth
ods. While i'll direct charge OF the
corporations personnel OF some 2oO.-
oOOemployes, his decisions on cor
poration policy are subject to ap-'
proval Of the finance committee and
the board of directors.
