Origin of merger discussed by James J. Hill
James J. Hill, president of the Northern Securities and Great Northern, testified before the Interstate Commerce Commission for over three hours on plans linked to rates and the trust idea. He argued competition does not lower rates, cited 20 years of peaceful cooperation among railroads, and explained the Burlington purchase as necessity not trust influence. He described the Northern Securities formation to unite old managers, noting some members are very elderly and aiming to keep control long term. Chairman Knapp announced Hill would return to the stand next morning.
