...business which was no less strange to him. Once in, he stayed in; acquired a controlling interest in many another steel company; created one of those vague but formidable entities known as an interest.

We hesitate to predict the proportion who will choose the latter course, yet undoubtedly many will acquiesce in it against their better wishes; probably they will squirm under its impositions...
