Synopsis
Delving into the railroad industry practices at the turn of the 20th century, this book analyzes the discrimination against Philadelphia as a consumer and distributor of Portland Cement by certain railroads. The author exposes how preferential freight rates manipulated by New York Trunk Line Railroads gave New York City an unfair advantage, stifling the growth of Philadelphia's cement industry. The book traces the practice of rebating, where carriers compensated shippers for services they were legally obligated to provide, demonstrating how such underhanded tactics disrupted fair competition and created economic waste. This meticulously researched account unveils the inner workings of railroad practices, highlighting the importance of preventing vested interests from distorting markets and undermining the principles of free and fair trade.
