Railway Freight Clash Feared From Treasury Ruling
Washington July 14. A Treasury decision could divert Pacific slope freight to the Eastern seaboard via the Canadian Pacific line, aided by a Pacific Coast Steamship Company route. The action bypasses the long and short haul clause, risking thousands of tons against American transcontinental railroads. The report also notes abuses by a local business college owner who leverages jobs to press students into continued study, and details Elisha Gray’s patent claim dispute over the speaking telephone with metallic diaphragm.
