To subscribe one hundred thousand dol- lars to an underwriting syndicate meant that he must risk as large a sum as that en- tirely upon his confidence in J. P. Morgan. He could take or leave the invitation, as he chose. He might be compelled to pay the one hundred thousand dollars in, and to re- UNITED STATES STEEL 215 ceive and to carry the amount of stock for which this one hundred thousand dollars paid. It was an investment of the nature of which he knew nothing. He had heard that the organi...sation involved the creation of the greatest corporation of modern times; so great that it was already being spoken of as ''a billion dollar corporation. " Of that one hundred thousand dollars, the former Mayor would be called upon innnediately for twelve and one-half per cent. , or eight thousand dollars. He in- ferred that this first payment was for the purpose of providing a working capital for immediate use, — as indeed it was. Solely as a matter of faith in Mr. Mor- gan the former Mayor accepted the invita- tion to subscribe, and he was never called upon for one cent of his subscription ex- cept the eight thousand dollars.
