SECURED BY STEEL TRUST Control of Wisconsin Central Re- ported Changed. St. Paul, Jan. 15.—Reports are cur- rent that the Wisconsin Central has vassed into the hands of interests closely identified with the United States Steel corporation. Consider- able credence is placed on the reports from the fact that it has been known for some time that J. Pierpont Morgan and his associates, who are dominat- ing factors in the steel corporation, have obtained control of the Wiscon- sin Central. The Wisconsin Central, it is re- rorted, is to be utilized for the trans- portation of iren ore from the Head of the Lakes to Gary, Ind., where the steel corporation is building immense mills. Gary is only a short distance from Chicago and the transportation of ore from that point to the Minne- sota mines is regarded as ‘entirely feasible. At present the transporta- tion of ore from Minnesota -to Pitts burg, Pa, is confined to shipments during the open navigation season on the Great Lakes, but the demand for ore will increase considerably when the Gary plant is in operation and to keep it constantly moving transporta- tion will have to be carried on the year round. The extension which the Wisconsin Central is building from Ladysmith, ‘Wis., to the Head of the Lakes is ex- pected to be ready for operation this spring.
