United States Steel earns about 69 million in the last quarter, copper output nears 2 billion pounds with value over 500 million dollars, and Standard Oil cites 30 million in stock dividends since January 1. Yet warns profits are inflated by high prices and that postwar adjustments may erode wages and demand wiser leadership from capital and labor.
