Harriman Defies Steel Trust Over Rail Quality
E H Harriman, defending the public, challenges the steel trust after the American Railroad Association demands better rails. The association, representing 23,000 miles of rail, appoints a committee to press the steel corporation for improvements. Harriman switches 150000 tons of rails to Tennessee Coal and Iron, signaling independence. Schwab admits rails are poor and dangerous and calls for open hearth production and higher quality, pricier rails.
