HILL'S VIEW OF IT
Circumstances of Formation
of Northern Securities.
HARRIMAN WAS AGGRESSOR
Northern Lines Bought BnrlInfirton,
Hill .Says, to Keep From Being-
Bottled Up by Union Pa
cific Combination.
ST. PAUL., Dec. 2L President J. J.
Hill, of the Great Northern railway and
of the recently organized Northern Se
curities Company, this afternoon gave the
following statement to the Associated
Press:
"I have been absent from (Minnesota for
more than two months and during tnat
time there has been a question through
out the Northwestern States, called a con
solidation or merger of the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern Railways, and in
this discussion statements have been made
which are shown to be different from the
facts, and I feel called upon to make a
conservative statement of Just what has
been done and what will be done in the
iuture.
"When the Northern Pacific failed and
the banking house of J. P. Morgan &
Company reorganized It, myself and
friends were holders of a large amount
of that company's security. After the re
organization was completed wo bought
about 126,000,000 of Northern Pa
cific stock, both common and preferred.
Some cf this stock was afterwards sold,
but a large amount has been held from
that time to the present.
Union Pacific "Wanted Barllngrton.
"About a year ago, the Union Pacific
Company bought the Huntington and oth
er Interests in the Southern Pacific, and
at the ame time an effort was made to
get control of the Chicago, Burlington &
Qulncy. "With these lines In the hands of
tne Union Pacific, both the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern would be shut
out of Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, South
Dakota, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin, ex
cept by using other lines of railway, some
of which were in the market for sale, and
might at any time pass under the control
or become combined with the Union Pa
cific interests.
"We ihen, with the Northern Pacific,
made proposals to the directors of tne
Uurllngton to buy their entire property.
"When this transaction was about being
closed the people who represented tfte
Union Pacific Company and who had pre
viously tried to buy the Burlington, asked
to be allowed to share with us in the pur
chase of that company. This proposal we
refused for the reason that it would de
feat our object in buying the Burling
ton, and further It was against the law or
several of the states In which the longest
mileage of the Burlington was located.
"At that time, against the opposition of
the more Southern lines, both the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern had put
Into effect a low colonization rate ana
were carrying dally thousands of people
into the Northwest, many of whom were
coming from Kansas and Nebraska along
the lines of the Union Pacific. This move
menu was at is height in the month ot
April, and after wc had closed the pur
chase of the Burlington, the Union Pa
cific people undertook tne boldest effort
that ever was made in this country and
bought over ?60,C00,O00 of the stock of tne
Northern Pacific in the markets of Eu
rope and the United States. 1 was in
New York at the time, and after Messrs.
Morgan & Co. were aware of the action of
tne Union Pacific people, it was found tnat
together we held about 526.000.000 of North
ern Pacific common stock, and inasmuch
as the common stock, by right -of a con
tract made with the preferred stockhold
ers when the company was reorganized
and the stock Issued, had the privilege of
paying off the preferred stock at par on
the first day of January of any year until
191", Messrs. Morgan & Co. then bought in
London and New York about 516,000,000 of
the common stock of the Northern Pacific.
No Stock Was Cornered.
"At the same time the Union Pacific in
terests, having already so large an invest
ment, bid the stock up until there was
the largest stock corner ever known, and
the stock in three or four days went up
to $1000 per chare. I explained
to my friends how that, with con
trol of the Northern Pacific, the Union
Pacific would control the entire North
west and the West from Mexico to the
C anadlan line, except for the Great North
ern. So great was the effort to get this
control that one of my friends in Lon
don who owned SJ.WJ.COJ of 2Orthcrn
Pacific common, was offered and refused
H.WO.WH) for this stock. The result was
tjat Messrs. Morgan fc Co. and ourselves
owned $12.XXtfKX) out of 50.000,000
of the Northern Pacific common with the
privl.cge of paying off the S75.000.0C0 of
Northern Pacific preferred. The Union
1 acific people owned $37,000,000 of"the com
mon and about 542.0&0.000 of the preferred,
which was a clear majority of all the
t jck of the Northern Pacific, and claimed
the exclusive control of the Northern xfa.
citlc and through that the ownership of
one-half of the Burlington.
"When it was known that these pre
ferred shares could and would be paid off
before the annual election, mutual nego
tiations resulted In Mr. Morgan giving
them a representative In the Northern Pa
cific board. At the same time I was
elected a member of the Northern Pacific
board. When I was advised of my elec
tion 1 notified them that I could not legal
ly act as a director of the Northern Pa
cific and- Great Northern at the same time.

"Several of the gentlemen who have

ern Railway and its -predecessor, the St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba, and who
have always been among Its largest
shareholders, but not the holders of a
majority of its stock, whose ages are
from 70 to SG years, have desired to com
bine tholr Individual holdings in corpo
rate form, and in that way secure perma
nent protection for their Interests and a
continuation of the policy and manage
ment which has done so much for the de
velopment of the Northwest and the en
hancement of their own property In the
Northwest and elsewhere. Out of this de
sire has grown the Northern Securities
Company. It became necessary" (In order
to prevent the Northern Pacific from
passing under the control of Union Pa
cific interests, and with It the Joint con
trol of the Burlington) to pay off these
J25.000.000 of Northern Pacific preferred.
The enormous amount of cash required
for this purpose, from a comparatively
small number of men, made It necessary
for them to act together in a large and
permanent manner through a medium of
corporation, and the Northern Securities
Company afforded them the means of ac
complishing this object without the ne
cessity of creating a substitute capital
to finance the transactions for the North
ern Pacific while at the same time the
credit of the Northern Securities Com
pany would be much stronger, as It would
also hold a considerable amount of Great
Northern and other securities.
Purpose of Northern Securities.
"The Northern Securities Company Is
organized to deal in high-class securities:
to hold the same for the benefit of Its
shareholders and advance the Interests of
the corporations whose securities It owns.
Its powers do not include the operation of
railways, banking, mining, nor the buying
or selling of securities or properties for
others on commission: It is purely an In
vestment company, and the object of Its
creation was simply to enable those who
hold its stock to continue their respective
Interests in association together and to
prevent such Interests from being scat
tered by death or otherwise: to provide
against such attacks as have been made
upon the Northern Pacific by a rival and
competing Interest whose main Investment
was hundreds of miles from the North
west, and whose only object In buying con
trol of the Northern Pacific was to benefit
their Southern properties by restraining
the growth of the country between Lake
Superior and Puget Sound, and turning
dway from the Northern lines the enor
mous Oriental traffic which must follow
the placing on the Pacific Ocean of the
largest ships In the world.
"The foregoing is a brief and absolutely
correct statement of the whole subject,
and its truth can "easily be verified by
the State of Minnesota and any other
state or person having sufficient interest
to investigate the affairs, which are all
matters of record.
"Now, as to the effect of what has
been done upon the public interests. Let
me ask a few questions which I want
every candid and honest man to answer
for himself:
AhIcm Sundry Questions.
"Did the Union Pacific people with
their railway lines extending from Omaha
and New Orleans to California and Ore
gon, through the several states In the
Middle West and South, purchase a ma
jority of the stock of the Northern Pa
cific Company for the purpose of aiding
that company and Increasing the growth
and prosperity of the Northern country,
or was It for the purpose of restricting
such growth and aiding the development
of their enormous Interests hundreds of
miles to the south?
"Did they purchase the Northern Pa
cific and Its Interest In the Burlington for
the purpose of building up the Asiatic
trade lying In the Northern zone from
St. Paul and Minneapolis to the Pacific
Coast, or in order to control the Oriental
trade for their own Southern railroad
lines, through their own seaports, over
their own ships?
"In defeating their control of the North
ern Pacific and retaining it In the hands
of those who ha1 built it up and with it
the entire Northwest, did we injure or
benefit the people of the Northwest?
"Did I, by inducing my friends to hold
their Northern Pacific common stock. and
act jointly with me. Messrs. Morgan &
Co.. when this stock was selling at $300
and $1000 a share, thus preventing the
Union Pacific from controlling the North
west, injure or aid the business of the
country between Lake Superior and the
Pacific Ocean?
"Had we sold our $20,000,000 of Northern
Pacific, even at $300 a share, amounting
to $60,000,000, or nearly $i0.C00,000 more than
Its value, and then transferred to the
Union Pacific control of the entire country
between Canada ind Mexico, what law
of Minnesota would we have violated?
"Could we not legally have put the
money in our own pockets and let the
country learn what it was to be domi
nated by a parallel and competing rail
road? When Van Sunt Sat Still.
"Why did Governor Van Snnt sit still
from May until November 20, while a
majority of the etock of the Northern
Pacific Company was controlled by a par
allel and competing railroad company, in
clear opposition to law, and wait until
myself and friends have, by our efforts
and with our own money, relieved the
Northwest, not as a rival parallel or
competing railway, but doing what we
clearly have the right to do as Individuals,
or working together for greater perma
nency and security as a financial cor
poration? "Has thore ever been a case in the his
tory of this country when men have
dropped their money profit and stood as
lirmly by the Interests of the communi
ties which have grown up with their own
and largely by their own efforts and cap
ital? "The public is Interested In having a
good railroad service and at fair and rea
sonable rates. The past is one and speaks
for itself; I can speak for the future and
have no hesitation whatever In saying
that the Increased volume of traffic, both
through and local. tI11 enable the com
panies to reduce their rates In proportion

ment of the country will increase with
greater Increase In population between
Minnesota and the Pacific. No merger or
consolidation of the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern Is contemplated. Each
company will be operated separately In
the future as In the past.
"I greatly dislike to discuss my matters
In the newspapers, but during my ab
sence an attack has been made upon my
self and friends which has been persist
ently supported by both political and riv
al business Interests. All I ask Is fair
play, and let time determine whether the
public will be benefited or injured by
what we have done and will continue
to do. JAMES J. HILL."

tion of the Northern Securities Company
and the practical consolidation of several
railroad companies as a result Is perhaps
the most momentous question that has
been precipitated upon the country for a
number of years. The matter has, how
ever, been incubating for a long time, in
reality the country Is face to face with
the great trust problem; this time a rail
road trust. When Governor Sayers, of
Texas, a year or two ago, attempted to
call a convention of Governors to take
Into consideration the trust problem, 1
examined the matter quite fully. I was
then convinced that the dominant party
desired to throw dust In the eyes of the
general public by attracting attention
away from Congress and Its powers.
"As a matter of fact, the President of
the United States, by directing his Attorney-General
to proceed against the
Northern Securities Company, could
quash proceedings. Under the Sherman
anti-trust law he has full power and au
thority in the premises. No Governor or
State Legislature has euch power, it
will be noticed that the President, in his
message to Congress, practically tells
Congress that it must be very careful not
to interfere with the trusts, for fear of
destroying that American pre-eminence In
the matter of trade balances now begin
ning to be prominent The people gener
ally are shrewd enough to see that the
President Is insincere in this matter. They
eee that the Republican majority In Con
gress, having power over trusts, doe3
not intend to use it, and. further, as a
matter of facf, will use National power
to protect them. Dishonesty arises from
tho fact, clearly apparent, of pretended
opposition to the trusts. Now, If the
party In power Is able to throw dust m
the eyes of the pcopl by attracting at
tention toward some harmless proceed
ings on the part of Governors and State
Legislatures, It will, by adroitness and
chicanery, temporarily at least, achieve
a much-desired end.
"But one force In this Nation Is suffi
ciently powerful to curb the enormous
power of the trusts, and that Is the Na
tional Government. Government owner

mendous concentration of wealth which,
so far, has proceeded without let or hln-
