Steel trust accused of blocking tubes in Bennington contract
Richard W. Gray testified before the House steel trust investigating committee that United States Steel subsidiary Shelby Steel refused to sell seamless boiler tubes for the gunboat Bennington. Gray said he pursued dealers, but Shelby’s bid prompted others to deny sales, forcing him to surrender the contract and pay over 1100 in forfeiture. Navy officials refused refund, citing Gray as a middleman and careless bidding.
