Railroads and Reform Dominate Congressional Talk in 1906
A sprawling 1906 political column surveys railroad policy amid looming Congressional action. It notes Senate debates on a railroad notes bill, Elkins and Tillman positions, and calls for reform beyond party lines. It mentions Elkins dinner in Washington, scrutiny of Pennsylvanian railroad ties, and a court case involving the Morgantown and Kingwood line. The piece hints at accusations against Elkins, his son, and alleged attempts to freeze out coal interests.
