Kennedy Links Rail Ownership to Steel Trust Power
Julian Kennedy of Pittsburg, a steel plant builder, testifies before the steel trust investigation that owning railroads gives the trust an edge. He argues that by controlling Lake Superior ore shipments and Pittsburgh district lines, the company can produce 4 tons of pig iron at 1.40 per ton cheaper, since two tons of ore yield four tons of iron. He claims such ownership allows favorable freight rates and a larger share of freight profits.
