Harriman Contract Suit Over Portland Orient Line
Testimony opened in the US District Court over a 683 081 dispute brought by Robert A. Graham against the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company. Graham alleges breach of contract related to a Portland to China steamship line. Harriman’s agents and the Oregon line allegedly terminated the agreement early and formed rival services. Graham testified that he provided ships and capacity and helped form the Oregon and Orient Steamship Company before Harriman’s group ended the pact and pursued an independent route.
