lie coIoksuI financial operations of
leailuiK New York, t hicHo Htul IIoh
ton inhtitutiorm, through so-culleil in
terlock inij directorates.
Mr. Morgan heard his own name and
that of his firm referred to many
times as tables were prt-ttcnted show
ing "the affiliations of that concern
with many bunks, trust companies,
truiihportution and industrial corxra
tions. He amx-ared unmoved through
out it all.
Mr. Mohan's testimony lastisl barely
20 minutes and was largely preliminary.
1 he chief point mailv was that he
favored allowing interstate corpora
tions to detiosit their funds in the
hands of private bunkers without re
striding them to institutions under
government supervision. He said this
was a matter to be left to the discre
lion of the board of directors of the
cortiorations in question.
Mr. Morgan confirmed data prepared
by members of the Morgan house
showing ithat CtJ accounts with the
Moriran firm in January last had de-
l)sils of tCS.l 13,000 and that 78 ac
counts on November 1 hud deposits of
$Hl,tiK,000. The total capital, sur
plus and funded debt of these deposi
tors. Mr. Untermyer said, was y
7(15, 00(1, 000. Mr. Morgan agreed to
this.
I'rior to Mr. Morgan a examination
the committee heard testimony bear
ing upon the so-called concentration o
monev und credits. This was present
ed in the form of charts prepared by
Philip J. Scudder, which were placed
in the records. This explunation
showed that the charU dealt with the
alliliation of ISO director in 18 banks
and trust companies in New York,
Chicago and Boston. It sohwed that
'these 1K0 men held directorships in
134 banks and trust companies, trans
portation und industrial corporations
having tiital resources or capitaliza
tion of $125,325,000,000."
