Morgan Rival Briton Fury Welcomed By American Shipping Heads
London June 21. J Pierpont Morgan sr. was absent in the Mediterranean when London talks on the Atlantic shipping combine neared a climax. Bernard N. Baker and other leaders delayed a final meeting as sweeping economies and better services were promised. The American group welcomed a rival all British combine, saying the Atlantic is big enough for all. Substantive subsidies from Britain, Canada and Australia are central to possible amalgamation plans. Allan Line opposes the move, alleging it is driven by L Jones to hurt their trade. Further talks and possible secret plans await outcomes of subsidies and government support.
