Cassatt Rail Road Power and the Roosevelt Policy Debate
A analysis argues that A J Cassatt through the Pennsylvania Railroad dominates U S rail traffic from interior regions to tidewater, threatening smaller lines and potentially influencing Congress. It notes Cassatt may weather government rate controls and suggests Baltimore and Ohio seeks to curb his influence, with public sentiment shifting since last summer. Congress is expected to debate railroad legislation after the holidays.
