Stanley Proberg Report Accuses Morgan of Sherman Act Enmity
The Stanley committee will submit a report to the House within ten days alleging J P Morgan as the arch enemy of the Sherman antitrust law and of the independent steel trade. It claims Morgan and associates profited about 356,000,000 and urges dissolution of United States Steel as a monopoly and as a holding company. The plan includes federal incorporation of interstate industrials, state tax rights, and penalties for interlocking directorates. Morgan fled the country to avoid testimony, but the chairman remains hopeful for summons.
