Charges that some holding compa-
nies exert great control over utilities
in which they have little capital in
vested were mustered by the Trade
Commission yesterday behind It's
recent recommendations for regulation
Of such corporations.
Making public additional informa-
ton in support of its suggestions to
Congress, the commission cited the
United Corp. as an outstanding IL
lustration of a super-holding company
organization"
Big Network Created.
This company, the commission said,
was organized in January, 1929, by
j. p. Morgan g. Co., in association
with Bonbright & Co., Inc. Eventually
the report said, United Corp. found
itself practically in control of a net
work Of utilities which extended, with
only one important break, from the
Great Lakes and the st. Lawrence
River to the Gulf of Mexico.
The commission pointed out that
United had only 3.9 per cent of the
total voting power in Consolidated
Gas Co.. of New York, yet practical
control of the general policies of Con-
Solidated Gas was admitted by repre-
sentatives Of the United Corp. during
the investigation"
Influence "Great."
The Importance of banking influ-
ence in the utility field was termed
Every great"
"If the banking interests should be-
come interested in any particular in
dustry in a given locality" the COM
mission said, 'it is conceivable that
their influence might be exerted in
favor of that interest and to the pos
sible detriment of conflicting inter-
ests
Economic history usually indicates
that wherever such situations exist
regulation in the public interest be-
comes necessary in order so to control
concentrated power as to prevent its
abuse, and by the same token becomes
increasingly difficult"
