Free trade clash reshapes U S Steel market shares
The U S Steel News argues that free trade is illusory in steel as non tariff barriers in other nations shield their markets while U S imports rise. It notes a 12 percent 1967 steel import share with projected 15 percent this year and cites John P Roche urging protective action. It also highlights Gary Indiana water pollution cleanup funded by U S Steel and ongoing pollution abatement spend.
