Schwab Testifies United States Steel Could Not Be Duplicated
Charles M Schwab testified in the government suit to dissolve United States Steel that another corporation of equal size could not be organized in 1901 given the nation’s ore reserves but could be formed if its plant were in the East and ores imported. He named Morgan Rockefeller and Carnegie interests as the top financial backers and denied discussing any threat by Andrew Carnegie to build a rival tube plant. He added Bethlehem Steel could eventually manufacture all steel products if finances allowed, noting US Steel’s transport assets give pricing edges he attributed to lack of Bethlehem rail capacity.
