EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing on January 12, 1912, captures a pivotal moment in American political history. The image depicts the Special Committee On The Investigation of The U.S. Steel Corporation, also known as the 'Stanley Committee' or 'Steel Trust Investigating Committee.' The committee was formed in response to growing concerns over the monopolistic practices of the United States Steel Corporation (USSC), which dominated the American steel industry at the time. The photograph features the committee members in session, seated around a long table in the House of Representatives. Among them are Representatives Young of Michigan, Bartlett of Georgia, Stanley of Kentucky (Chairman), Beall of Texas, Littleton of New York, and McGillicuddy of Maine. Their determined expressions convey the gravity of the situation at hand. The committee's investigation led to significant reforms in American business practices, particularly in the steel industry. The photograph serves as a testament to the power of congressional oversight and the commitment of elected officials to protect the public interest. Harris & Ewing's masterful composition and use of light and shadow add depth and intrigue to the image, making it an invaluable addition to any historical collection. This photograph is a valuable reminder of the role of government in regulating industry and the importance of transparency and accountability in our democratic process.
