Steel Trust Aids Rivals in Sherman Probe
President James A. Farrell of United States Steel testified in the government suit to dissolve the steel trust under the Sherman act. He said the company made cotton ties for Southern brewers with no profit, prioritized government work, used pig iron to deter speculators, and sold at cost to rivals during corner attempts. He noted wage growth from 716.88 to 806.70 in 1901 and that railroads buy steel from mills nearest their shops, not by ownership.
