Six Million Dollars Lost By Combine And Strikers
Pittsburg July 29 It is true that a computation of cold figures shows a total loss of 6516000 due to the strike. Of this sum 3960000 is charged to the combine and 2556000 to the strikers. The loss may be offset by better prices and improved conditions as well as improved employer employee relations. Officials of United States Steel are anxious to settle. Independent mills have shifted contracts from the combine and offer 4 to 8 dollars per ton above market rates to secure iron and steel. Jones and Laughlin interests reportedly have enough orders to run into fall.
