U S Steel Official Warns on imports harming Texas Works
Earl Malick vice president of U S Steel told Houston chamber leaders that rising steel imports threaten the future of the Texas Works on the Baytown site served by the Port of Houston. He noted imports rose from 1.2 million tons in 1937 to 11 million tons in 1967 with 25 percent of Southwest steel now from foreign sources, mainly Japan, which aims to boost capacity to about 130 million net tons by 1975. He urged attention to production costs and warned import price strategies may fail to solve the challenge.
