Bethlehem Steel Profits Fall Sharply in Third Quarter
The Associated Press reports Bethlehem Steel, the union’s second largest producer, saw third quarter profits fall 60 percent and nine-month profits drop nearly 40 percent versus 1969. A Lackawanna mill furlough plan sparked controversy as a spokesman denied 10,000 cuts but would not rule out smaller layoffs. Armco warned GM strike could trigger major cuts. U S Steel said layoffs would be minor with steady workforce revisions. Jones & Laughlin furloughed about 4,000 workers in Pittsburgh and Cleveland, noting auto demand accounts for roughly one third of output. Bethlehem had previously laid off 900 workers due to weak orders.
