Charles M. Schwab
- President (1904-1916) -
Bethlehem Steel
According to Schwab's views, Steel too clumsy and too inefficient. After he several times with J.P. Morgan and Elbert Gary had clashed, he stepped back from his post in 1903 and switched to Bethlehem Steel Company, who became the largest independent steel producer under his direction.
In 1904 Charles M. Schwab, a former President of US Steel, who had previously worked for Carnegie Steel Company, came to Bethlehem Steel and, together with Joseph Wharton, formed the Board of Directors, in which Schwab took over the function of the president and chairman.
