SENATE PROBE OF BIG STEEL MERGER 'Gcmnfiflee Finds Ho Reasen for Presidential Consent. Washington, Feb- 5.—The special { committee of the senate committee on wudlciary, which is investigating the Tennessee Coal and Iron absorption by the United States Steel corpora- | tion, expects to meet great difficulties in preparing a reply to the senate resolution providing for the inquiry. { Although a number of bankers whc { were supposed to know all about the details of the purchase of the Ten- nessee concern by the Steel corpora- tion have explained to the committee | their participation in the transaction ’nothmg has been brought out which disputes President Roosevelt’s conten- tion that there was nothing proposcd with which he found it incumbent upon him to interfere. The resolution calls upon the com- mittee to report what was the presi- {dent’s authority for permitting the 'merger, Nothing has been found by {the committee which seems to war- rant the president in giving consent to the absorption, nor anything which {seems to demand that he should have forbidden the merger. Some of the i members of the committee, in discuss- ing the case informally, suggested {that it would have been wisdom for {the president to advise Judge Gary and Mr. Frick to consult their lawyers instead of submitting the proposition to him. In summing up the evidence pre- Isented several lawyers in the senate thave said it appears to them the party of sixteen financiers who ob- itained control of the majority of the { stock were systematically “squeezed” during the panicky days of October and November, 1907. Senator Culber- son has sought to show that the stocks were especially “pounded” in the “street” by people interested in the so called Morgan banks.
