Inland Steel price hike prompts White House study
The Johnson administration studied Inland Steel Co.'s $2 to $3 per ton rise on sheet metal, effective Aug. 10, as part of a broader inflation concern. Inland said the 2.1 percent rise, first since 1963, would ease with a government price restraint program, and no pattern of similar moves by rivals was evident.
