Harrison's New Job as Chicago Traction Chief
A Chicago Tribune style feature claims Mayor Carter H. Harrison will become head of a consolidated traction company. It alleges a twenty year five cent fare monopoly, with all streetcar lines unified under one syndicate and Harrison stepping away from politics to run the vast enterprise. The piece links his past support of municipal ownership debates to a future business empire, cites unverified sources, and warns of potential theater fire risks and political rivals.
