MERGER STANDARD OIL'S PLAN
Prom the ChlcAgo Tribune.
Detail are being worked out rapidly
' tor the formation of a gigantic railroad
trust txulde which all the other great
truata heretofore organised In thla coun
try will dwindle Into insignificance.
A doson eaatem flnanclera, headed by
the Standard Oil Interests, with their
unlimited wealth, expect to control tha
entire railroad aystem In tha country
- and prevent competition among tha vari
ous road.
The plan la to dlvlda tha railroads of
the country Into a few groups or sys
tems, each one of which Is to own
substantial Interest in the stocks and
securities of every other big group or
system, and all to have representation
on each other's board of directors.
The dosen financiers, all represented
on the boards of the various roads, will
control, from present appearancea. over
10.000 miles of railroads, Including
every important trunk line In the coun
try, representing a capitalisation of
about 18.000. 000.000 la stocks and bonds.
They will sae to It that the roads are
managed as economically aa possible and
the rates kept up to as high a figure
as the traffic will bear In order to se
cure all the revenue necessary to pay
good dividends on the enormous capitalisation.

The southern railroads are all con

Harriman system. The mileage of Mor
gan's southern railway system is 11,871

not yet taken definite shape, but judg

systems. .
The San Pedro. Los Angeles A Skit
Lake railroad, built during the last four
years by Senator W. A. Clark, has prac
tically become a Harriman line. Senator
Clark, who Intended to make his road a
competitor to Harrlman's Oregon Short
Line and to furnish an outlet for In
dependent lines from Salt Lake City to
Los Angeles snd San Pedro harbor, has
-sold lately a half interest In ths property
to tho Harriman Interests, and portions
of the Oregon 8hort Lino, which Is par
alleled, have been merged with It.
Status of tha Alton.
Although the Moore brothers and their
allies at present hold a mnrnrity of tha
stock of the Chicago A Alton, the road
may sttll be classed as a Hamman prop
erty, as Mr. Harriman continues to
direct Its management and has a ma
jority of Its board of directors.
if la not thought that the Rock Island
interests bought Alton as a permanent
investment.
The Illinois Central, although not
rinuiv affiliated with anv of the big
syndicates, is put In the Harriman col
umn, as Mr. Harriman is not only a
director but a member or tne executive
committee of the company. The Illinois
Central has a mileage of 4,4(4 and con
nects with ths Union Pacific at Omaha
and the Southern Pacific at New Orleans
and has close traffic arrangements with
both of these Harriman roads.
Another line which may properly be

called a Harriman line Is ths Kansas
City Southern, formerly tho Kansas City,
Pittsburg A.- Gulf. Harriman has a large
interest in this road and is one of its
directors. The road runs from Kansas
City to Port Arthur. Tea., with branches
to Port Smith. Ark... and Lake Charles.
La. It has a mileage of (SO and Is val
uable as a gulf outlet
Besides tho vsst system of railroads
controlled by the Harriman Interests
their ownership of steamship lines Is
no less important. The Pacific Mall
Steamship company, of Which K. H. Har
riman Is tho president, is the leading
steamship 11ns from New fork and San
Francisco to tha orient It runs a pow
erful fleet of steamers from New York
to San Francisco and from Ban Fran
cisco to Crttna and Japan.
The Morgan lino of steamers Is con
trolled entirely by tho Harriman Inter
ests. Thoy run ' from Now Tork to
New Orleans and Galveston and connect
with ths Southern Pacific roads. A large
part of tho merchandise traffic between
New Tork and San Francisco Is hsndled
by the Morgan line of steamers via New
Orleans snd El Paso, over What is known
as the Southern Pacific "Sunset Routs."
Development of QotUd System.
Tho ! developments among the Goujd
properties during tho last two years
have attracted wide attention. Ths en
trance of tho Wabash into Pittsburg and
the purchase of the West Virginia Cen
tral and Western Maryland, whereby It
secured an entrance Into Baltimore, and
obtained an outlet to the Atlantic sea
board, at one time threatened a serious
fight between Gould snd the Pennsyl
vania interests.
The relations , between them became
so strained that the Pennsylvania re
fused to permit the Western Union Tel
egraph company, one of the Gould prop
erties, to continue to do business over
the Pennsylvania right of way.
While the relations between the Penn
sylvania and the Gould interests con
tinue strained. It is generally believed
that their difficulties will soon be
patched up and both these big inter
ests work together in harmony.
plana Transcontinental Idas.
Ths plans- of tho Gould Interests are
known to be most ambitious. It Is be
lieved to be their intention to construct
or establish a transcontinental line
stretching from the Atlantic to tho Pa
cific. Through the acquisition of the
Wheeling and Lake Erie, West Virginia
Central, and Western Maryland, with
the construction of some new mileage,
tho eastern terminus of the Gould sys
tem practically has been moved to tho
Atlantic seaboard, -rnrougn in acqui
sition of ths Denver and Rio Grande and
the Rio Grande Western tho western
terminus has been advanced to Salt
Lake city. Arrangements havo been
mads lately for the construction of a
new road, to' bo known aa the Western
Pacific, In srhlch the Goulds are largely
Interested, and which la expected to
furnish them with the desired outlet
from Salt Lake city to Ban Francisco.
Ths Western Pacific, if carried to com
pletion, will become a direct rival of the
Southern Pacific as a trunk line to the
Pacific coast. The capitalization of the
Western Pacific is sa follows:
Stock (paid up. 11,600,000) . .$60,000,000
Bonds (30-year, 6 per cent) . . 60.000.000
Total
...1 100,000,000
of Book Island.
The rapid expansion of the mileage of
the Rock Island-Frisco system during
ths last two years has been a feature In
the railroad situation. The present man
agement of this system, which controls
almost unlimited financial resources, ac
quired control of the Rock Island In
101.
After thoroughly examining the af
fairs of the company William H. Moore,
James H. Moore, D. G. Reld and William
B. Leeds purchased the majority of
the capital stock and almost Immedi
ately an ambitious plan of expansion
was begun. During 101 the Crioctaw.
Oklahoma and Gulf, the Choctaw and
Northern, the Burlington, Cedar Rapids
and Northern, the St. Louis, Kansas
City and Gulf, and a number of small
railroad properties were acquired.
About the same time the Moore
brothers and Leeds and Bold, by join
ing hands with B. F. Yoakum, secured
control of the Frisco system. A year
ago this company acquired the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois railroad. Through
these acquisitions ths Rock Island-Frisco
system has become one of the most
extensive and Important In the country.
The blow delivered by the supreme
court of the United States to ths North
ern Securities company has acted with
withering effect, not only upon the
plans of James J. H1U aa regards his
northwestern system of roads, but also
upon the embryonic plans of those who
control the other groups.
Had the decision upheld the conten
tions of Mill's lawyers every big rail
road system In the country would have
had a holding company similar to the
Northern Securities. As It was the for
mation of trust companies was aban
doned, and for a time It looked as If a
general sequestration of the big Sys
tems would be the result.

Old right
In consequence of the supreme court's
decision the old fight between the Hill
and Harriman interests has been re
newed and the question as to whether
the Burlington is In control of the
Union Pacific or the Great Northern la
yet to be determined by the courts.
Rumors have been current lately that
a compromise had been effected and
peace restored. One report was that the
Union Pacific had secured control of the
Burlington and that the Northern Pa
cific would become part of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St Paul. These reports
have been officially contradicted, and
Mr. Hill says there Is no danger of a
disintegration of his system of roads.
After the big syndicates had rallied
from the supreme court's knockout blow
sufficiently to give due consideration to
the situation the conclusion was reached
that It would be useless to sttempt a
resurrection of the Securities companies
scheme, and It was agreed to readopt
the original community of Interest plan,
which practically would bring about the
same results, If congress can be In
duced to pass a law to legalise railroad
pools.
Santa Fe Stand Alone..
The Santa Fe system has no affiliation
at present with any of the other big
systems, but reports have been current
far some time that the Rockefeller arid
Harriman Interests hare secured a large
Interest In It. The Saata Fe, however.
Is big enough to stsnd on Its own bot
tom, having a mileage of (,713 and ex
tending from Chicago to tho Pacific
coast, and over the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe to the gulf of Mexico, with
a network of roads In Kansss. Okla
homa, New Mexico, and Artsona.
In the territory east of Chicago and
St Louts there are at present but two
well defined big systems, the Vanderbllt
and the Pennsylvania, with a third one
the Erie, Pare Marquette, and Cincin
nati. Hamilton A Dayton In process of
formation.
The Vanderbllt and Pennsylvania In
terests today control nearly all of the
principal roads between Chicago and
the Atlantic seaboard. The Delaware,
Lackawanna A Western can be classed
a Vanderbllt road, as the Vanderbllts
are known to be largely interested In it.
The Chesapeake A Ohio and Baltimore A
Ohio, as well as the Reading railroad,
are In Pennsylvania control. The Le
high Valley road Is still Independent
but It Is only a question of time when
It. too, will become affiliated with one of
the other big eastern systems.
Vanderbllts Have Western Lines.
The Vanderbllt system Is the only one
In the east that extends Into territory
west of Chicago and the Mississippi,
just as the Gould system Is the only
western one that laps over into eastern
territory. The Vanderbllts. however,
unlke Mr. Gould, are making no effort
to 'extend the Northwestern to the Pa
cific coast but are content with the
traffic alliance the road has with Harrl
man's Union and Southern Pacific roads.
Thnus-h the Chicago A Northwestern Is
a Vanderbllt property, yet scrupulous
care has been taken not to have It
closely Identified with the Vsnderbilt
roads east of Chicago, and it exchanges
traffic with all of Its eastern connec
tions on the same terms aa it does with
them.
Some, time ago It was reported that
the Pennsylvania waa trying to secure
control of the Santa Fe system, with a
view of securing a contlnuoua line from
ocean to ocean. This has been denied,
however, by both the Pennsylvsnla and
Santa Fe people, and there Is nothing
to Indicate that the Pennsylvania baa
any large Interest in the Santa Fe.
Every effort of the Vanderbllt Penn
sylvania and other eastern Interests ap
pears to be directed toward preventing
close affiliations between single eastern
and western systems. It seems to bs
their earnest desire to continue Chicago
and the Mississippi river ss the dividing
lines. Traffic conditions In the two sec
tions of the country, it is claimed, are
so different that they never can be har
monised. ,
Owing to this difference the eastern
and western roads have to classify their
freight differently. The eastern linos
use what is known aa the official
classification." which divides all articles
of freight Into six classes, while the
western lfnes use the so-called "Joint
western classification," which divides
the freight Into ten classes. It Is for
these reasons mainly that the Penn
sylvania and the other eastern Interests
are making such strenuous efforts to
prevent the Gould Interests from car
rying through their ocean to ocean
schema
Gentlemen's Agreement
The community of Interest plan, which,
owing to the collapse of the "securi
ties" scheme has received a fresh Im
petus, dates back to 18. At that time
railroad competition waa so strong that
It was Impossible to secure the mainte
nance of paying rates. Railroad wars
"were of frequent occurrence and even
the presidents of the various roads were
powerless to prevent It The eastern
capitalists Interested in the bonds be
came restless over the continued pass
ing of dividends. They appealed to J.
Plerpont Morgan, then the moat power
ful flnanoler In the country, to come
to their rescue, and tho far-famed meet
ing of the heads of the big banking
firms in Now York and the presidents
of the principal roads In the country
on board Morgan's yacht In Nsw York
was held as the result
The so-called "gentlemen's agree
ment" was adopted at that meeting, the
financial Interests pledging themselves
to furnish no more money to Independ
ent parties for the construction of new
roads and the railroad presidents agreed
to discharge any official who dared to
cut a rate.
Morgan Long tha Dictator.
From this time on until about two
years ago, J. Plsrpont Morgan was the
absolute ruler of the railroads In the
United Slates. Under his leadership
rate wars became less frequent and
when any did occur they were speedily
settled through tke Intervention of the
big bankers and financial Interests In
New York. Construction of new lines by
Independent companies absolutely pre
vented, and, while In 1((( there wore
far more railroads In existence than
were needed, there are today not nearly
enough eaat of Chicago and St. Louis
to handle adequately the continually ex
panding traffic.
The community of interest scheme,
however, received a terrific Jolt two
yeara ago, when J. J. Hill and E. IL
Harriman became Involved In a serious
fight over the control of the Northern
Pacific, which resulted In cornering
the stock of that road and the worst
psnlc On the stock market that had been
experienced In years. Subsequently a
comproralss was effected. The -famous
Northern Securities scheme evolved. Its
legality waa tested in the courts with
'the result already noted. Had it not
been for the collapse of the Northern
Securities company similar ones would
have been atarted by the other big rail
road systems.
Standard Oil Control.
Nearly all the changes thus far made
In the regrouping of the western and
eastern railroad systems suggest Stand
ard Oil control of railroads to an extent
that no other single Interest has ever
thought of undortaklng before. Changes
In the directories of the various trunk
railroads are being watched with great
Interest because It Is believed they fore
shadow the complete ascendency of
the Standard Oil Interests in most oi
the Important railroad systems of the
country and the elimination, to a great
extent, of the power heretofore wielded
by J. Plerpont Morgan.
Within the last two or three years
the Rockefeller Interests have obtained
a foothold In the New Tork Central,
New Haven & Hartford, Chicago A
Northwestern and Union Pacific.
The Moore brothers. In their Rock
Island deals, are said to be aided by
the Rockefellers. The Standard Oil in
terests control the Chicago, Milwaukee
A St Paul and Mlsssourl, Kansas A
Texas.. They sre heavily in Gould's
Missouri Pacific and Wabash. They are
also ssld to have acquired lately 240.000
shares of Atchison, iopeka A Santa Fe
stock from Kuhn, Loeb A Co.
The Rockefellers disclaim any Inten
tion of controlling the railroads of this
country. They assert It Is their desire
merely to have a voice In tke manage
ment of he roads and thus prevent any
undue preference being given to their
competitors In the oil business
