Steel and iron charter bill alarms Pennsylvania
Special charters granted in past are now replaced by a general law enabling any corporation to buy steel and iron stock and allowing metal companies to control other firms except railroads. The measure, passed quietly, unsettles Pennsylvanians and alarms outsiders about a far reaching corporate reach. In Chicago labor talks, employers push for union recognition while workers threaten court action for conspiracy. The June first resumption date is set by both sides embracing reciprocal freedom in managing their affairs.
