WASHINGTON, 1). C, May 27.
How J. Picrpont Morgan, money czar,
formed the steel trust, how ho liter
ally chocked the rich Tennessee Coal
nnd Iron Company stock out of. tho
embarrassed Trust Company of
America and how the fetccl trust mag
nates, II. C. Frick and E. H. Gary,
"buncoed" President Roosevelt into ?
allowing the steel trust to swallow
the Tennessee Corporation was vivid
ly told today to a congressional coin
raitce by John W. Gates.
Answering questions by Congress
jrtan Stanley of Kenfcwkey, on wkww-:
motion the committee was appointed
to probe the steel trust, Garbs' re
vealed many of the insido deals of
the men who juggle Wall Streot's mil
lions. How dog eats dog was plainly
set forth, nud when asked by Stanley
whether he believed the steel trust
had profited, by the Tennessee ab
sorption, Gntes raised a broad smilo
by the characteristic reply:
"I've never licard that Morgan has
made nn assignment. Have you?"
' TelN of Deal.
Gates' testimony before tho con
gressional committee today was prin
cipally regarding the nbsorpnlon ot
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company
by tho trust. Ho said that Grant
Schley nnd Charles Guthrie, presi
dent of the Republic Steel Company
formed a syndicate to ncquiro u ma
jority of tho Tennessee Company's
stock. "I took 200 shares," said
Gates. "There were ten, fifteen or
twenty in the syndicate. Guthrie nud
Schley were empowered to sell cer
tificates of the stock at any limo
provided they get a profit. When
Guthrie died, ho was succeeded by
L. C. llaiina.
"In 1907 returned from Europe
nnd found negotiations ponding be
tween Henry C. Eriek, E. II. Gary,
.1. P. Morgan nud Schley, Ultima nnd
their associates. Morgan, Frick and
Gary sought to buy our Tennessee
stock in exchange for nn ctpial oil.
United States Steel seconds mort
gage five per cent bonds. Each ten
shares of tho Tennessee security they
would exchange for 0110 bond. Next
day the trade, wo resigned as di
rectors nud tho steel corporation
took charge."
Only Preferred Stock.
Gates declared that tho steel bones
represented only preferred stock of
the corporation, while the Teiiucsseo
slock represented real valuo. Ho
declared tho Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company tho best steel property in
tho world, with 11 coul acreage of
from three to seven hundred million
lonsv
Gates assorted that tho steel trust
manipulators had buncoed President
Roosevelt with nfiiku statements that
(ho nbnrptiou of (ho Tennessee Com
pany by thu steel trust was necessary
to avert a janic. Ilo described tho
birth o ftho steel trust as occurring
at 11 meeting between himsolf, Mor
gan nnd Sehbaw in Morgan's Now
York home.
Prlco Demoralized.
"In 1807 and 1898," Gates contin
ued, "the price of stool wns demorali
zed and for this Androw Caruegio wns
held responsible, Friok arid W. II.
Moore conveivod the idea of buying
