New York Monopoly Criticism Echoes Across Shipping Debate
Tuesday’s Daily cites Admiral Benson on breaking up port monopolies under a new transportation act. The piece argues New York’s congestion stems from reluctance to develop capacity and from rivalship, urging expanded rail and water routes to ease freight, with Southern ports like Galveston and New Orleans gaining favor for cotton shipments. The column also weaves in cross-cutting reflections on Ireland, religion, and sectarian strife, warning against violence in the name of faith.
