EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, taken by renowned Washington D.C. photography studio Harris & Ewing on January 12, 1912, captures a pivotal moment in American industrial history. The image depicts the Special Committee On The Investigation of The U.S. Steel Corporation, also known as the 'Steel Trust Investigating Committee' or the 'Stanley Committee.' The committee was formed in response to growing concerns over the monopolistic practices of the United States Steel Corporation, which dominated the American steel industry at the time. The photograph features the committee members, including Chairman John W. Ransom Stanley of Kentucky, along with representatives from various states such as Michigan, Georgia, Texas, New York, and Maine. The group is seen gathered around a table, likely in a committee room in the Capitol Building, deep in discussion and deliberation. Among the committee members are George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, who were commissioned to document the proceedings. The investigation was significant as it marked a turning point in American antitrust law and the regulation of big business. The committee's findings led to the passage of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, which strengthened existing antitrust laws and made it more difficult for corporations to engage in monopolistic practices. This photograph serves as an important historical record of a critical moment in American political and industrial history.
