Pittsburgh Plus system upheld by federal panel
The Federal Trade Commission declared the Pittsburgh Plus pricing method unfair and ordered changes. The commission said the system fixed prices and raised costs for farmers across eleven western states, forcing higher annual expenditures. The Steel industry contested the ruling, arguing it reflected open competition, but the court held the commission could enforce its order with possible appeals remaining. The case centers on freight-inclusive cost calculations and the impact on steel pricing outside Pittsburgh.
