United States Steel raises rail prices and railroads move toward settlement
United States Steel Corporation increases steel rail prices by $3 per ton to $48 effective October 1. Railroads announce settlement talks with fifty to sixty five lines in Chicago and union leaders authorize separate peace deals though some roads may follow. Administration leaders in Washington view separate peace as a path to general settlement. Freight revenues rise about $10 million in June while passenger revenues fall by $4 million. Tariff talks set a 1.34 dollar per pound duty on potash amid agricultural opposition. Resumption of anthracite mining delayed by labor shortages and mine conditions. Four major eastern railroads impose a freight embargo on anthracite as Pennsylvania clerks threaten strikes and New York clothiers look to a hopeful season.
