Steel profits too big cost of ore to steel concerns
Washington reports on iron ore costs shows the United States Steel Corporation earning excess profits from lake ore and ore transportation. The preliminary cost of production study, presented to President Taft, calls for segregating ore railroads from the steel company to curb public-policy issues. The investigation covers two thirds of U.S. ore and steel output from 1902 to 1916, noting monopolistic power and large ore reserves held by the corporation as of 1910.

Fifty Hurt as Manholes Explode Across East Side
A series of manhole explosions shattered windows and toppled covers across East 324th, 384th, and 94th streets, injuring about fifty people. The blasts, likely from volatile oils and gasoline used nearby, sent people flying up to 35 feet and created dense smoke. A boy, Teddy O’Keefe, was ejected onto a cover and then fell into a sewer but was rescued with help from bystanders and police. Several victims, including Sophie Wells and Michael Casey, were hurled into the air or knocked unconscious, with others treated on scene or at nearby hospitals.
