What is Money Trust? Mr. Morgan says there is no money trust, but if the state of affairs that he admitted does not reveal a money trust, it would be interesting to know ROBT, D, ALLEN, Editor and Manager some of the products of this illegal what a money trust is. Entered at the Post Office of Butler, Mo., as @econd-class mail matter. PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR Ww AMMENCTON poe | In order that dividends may be paid Special Washington Correspond- ent of The Times. By Clyde H. Tavenner. Washington, D. C.—How often does “the increase of the country’’ demand that J. P. Morgan organize a trust? Mr. Morgan testified, somewhat airily, before the Money Trust inves- tigating committee that he got busy every time it was ‘‘good business and for the interests of the country.” = ‘terests of the country’’ demanded | | Morgan steel trust. | | How canit be figured that ‘‘the in-; ;that American consumers be thus gouged? | on the $29,000,000 of Morgan’s wat- ered stock, the men who work in the blast furnaces of the steel trust are forced to work 12 hours a day, seven days a week! Did “The interests of the country’’ call for this? Immediately upon the organization of Morgan’s illegal steel trust, the price of barb wire to the American farmers was increased nearly one- third! Testimony before the Pujo commit- tee shows that eighteen financial in- stitutions in New York, Chicago and | Boston by means of interlocking di- rectorates have a voice in the man- agement of 134 corporations with an aggregate capital of $25,325,000,000. It shows that J. P. Morgan & Co., the Guaranty Trust Company, the Bank- ers’ Trust Company, the First Nation- jal Bank and the National City Bank through 341 interlocking directors are allied with corporations having re- sources of $22,245,000,000. The eighteen institutions that have a voice in the management of $25,- 325,000,000 have 180 partners and di- rectors. These 180 men hold 385 di- rectorships in forty-one banks and orships in eleven insurance companies with total assets of $2,646,000,000. They held 186 directorships in thirty- one railroad: systems having ‘a total | capitalization of $12, 193,000,000. They | Gov. Hadley is said to be preparing hold ninety-eight directorships in _twenty-eight producing and trading ‘ corporations with a total capitalization | of $3,583,000,000. They hold forty- eight directorships in nineteen public | utilities corporations with an annual | gross earning capacity of $428,000,000. If these 180 men do not constitute |a money trust, what is a money trust? Who would underwrite the securi- \ties of a corporation that promised keen competition with any of the cor- porations within the sphere of influ- ence of these 180 men? Would the banks and trust companies that they control lend money to such competit- ors? Would weaker banks be in- clined to take the risk of incurring the hostility of the stronger banks? The sole purpose of all these com- binations is to control credit through the control of money, and whoever is master of credit is master of the com- merce and industry of a Nation. Notice.
