Steel Trust Eyes Walsh Railroads Amid Territory Moves
Terre Haute reports indicate negotiations to buy the John R. Walsh Southern Indiana railroad properties with Chicago interests and the New York Central cited as players. Archibald Cummings oversees large coal land acquisitions in Vigo County while Buffington and steel executives push for favorable rates and direct control over mine-to-mill coal traffic. The claim that Hawley interests seek the roads is questioned as the steel trust uses its own crews and lines to secure terms or replace gaps with the Southern Indiana route. The Walsh collateral deadlines approach next week.
