Jones testimony implicates monopolistic zinc trust and Harvester ties
A Senate inquiry report accuses Jones of monopolistic tactics in zinc oxide and extortionate charges, detailing his role with the zinc trust and as a director in International Harvester. The document traces Harvester formation in 1907 via financier Perkins and JPMorgan, noting dummy incorporators and uncertain capitalization. Public testimony scheduling follows, with Senators urging rules on executive session secrecy and a potential vote postponement to next week. A telegram from Mrs Jones and a note from Senator Hitchcock accompany the proceedings.
