4 WHYTHEGREATTRUST WK FORMED, Feared Another Attack by Hostile Interests —Their Lawyer Says the Millionaires Had To Depend on Themselves, and Not Law. Washington, December B.—Briefs in behalf of the Northern Securities Com pany and the Northern Pacttie Railway company in the case of the United States versus those two '•ompani s and the Great Northern Company were filed in ihe supreme court today. The brief of the Securities company Is by George B. Young. ;>nd that of the North rn Pacific by C. W. Bunn. Mr. Young's brief is a document of over SOO pages and in it he traces minutely the origin of the merger. The movement for this consolidation he attributes large ly to the raid in May, 1901, by hostile Inter ets on Northern Pacific stock, which it was considered most important to prevent and says: "The Union Pacific interests still held about $37,000,000 of the North, i n Pa cific common stock. Between one and two millions w’re not held by either of ths parties The loss of three millions from he majority holdings might occur from various causes and the attack just de feated might be renewed with success by the same or other assailants." H ravs that jn this emergency Messrs. Morgan and Hill saw clearly that they must depend upon themselves and not upon the law for protection. They had every reason to believe, Mr Young con tinues, that such a holding as that of tho Union Paeitk in th- Northern Pacific was not contrary to the anti-trust law , and "the fraction of the attorney general I showed that this was also the opinion of ' that high offi -i.il. charged with the en- I foreement of the anti-trust act." The idea v ~s to form a trust com- ' party, but Mr Young ays that it was quickly abandoned. The first thought was , to incorporate under the laws of Minae- ' «ota. but it was found Impracticable to ' •e ure an acccptabl • charter in that state coi a .p.- ntiy the pap-rs were filed tn | N. w Jersey On th' question of • ons-olidation in the I Securities Company. Mr. Young says: Its ownership "t the duns of the two railway companies, not mon. consolidates '. ires, or the ■•VO companies or their property than: ihe ownership of two pieces of real as- I ■ ate by the .-.ano person consolidates I them or the title tu them." He asserts: 'That th on! combination of which I i-ere is any evidence is the eomblna- I •lon formed in aid of commerce to lib- i ■ rot • 1 enlargi ind not to .-•■.-train it. ar.l which lias liberated, pro- ected. aid, d and enlarged it and has not restrained and does not threaten to re- j strain." The brief of Mr. Bunn is an argument j to show that the -..etion of the two rail- I >oad companies did not come within the j anti-trust . • Me saj: "The stat ; - must bo inti. pl ■ fd s-> a R to fall within the constitutional p .w- i of congr.es.
