Blow to Guggenheims as Alaska coal claims cancelled
The Interior Department under Secretary Walter I. Fisher cancelled Cunningham coal claims in Alaska totaling 5,250 acres in the Bering field. The Guggenheim syndicate, led by Stephen Birch, faced a pivotal defeat after accusations of fraud, with Taft’s administration seen as vindicating Pinchot and Gravis. Other items touch on labor leaders jailed for contempt, reciprocity debates, and a sweeping indictment against major wire and steel firms for Sherman Act violations.
