At this point, there was one more hurdle to overcome: President Theodore Roosevelt. The progressive Republican had a reputation as a âtrustbuster,â and he took a particularly dim view of men like J.P. Morgan. In fact, Morgan had tangled with Roosevelt in 1902 after the Treasury Department had filed suit against the Northern Securities Company under the Sherman Antitrust Act. The Northern Securities Company was a âholding companyâ that pooled Morganâs railroad stock with that of James J. Hill and Edward H. Harriman. As such, they controlled several different railroad lines, which allowed the Northern Securities Companyâs directors to coordinate their railroadsâ activities and fix prices. The federal government won its case before the Supreme Court in 1904, which resulted in the Northern Securities Companyâs dissolution.
