Aldrich replies to Bristow charges on rubber trust
Senator Nelson W Aldrich defends himself amid Bristow’s charges about the Intercontinental Rubber Company. He asserts the company never controlled crude rubber prices, explains corporate structure and tariff impact, and cites World market forces and his personal involvement in rubber development. He notes the 1909 tariff change aimed at administration, not protection, and argues the company had no monopoly or price fixing power. Aldrich hints at possible Taft meeting after touring Marblehead.
