Stock upswing seen as aiding recovery plan
New York June 25 The steel market surged for the sixth straight day fueling a week of rising prices unseen since earlier history. The debate over wage policy pits New Deal positions against business interests as United States Steel denies any wage cuts despite price reductions. President Roosevelt urged a firm stance by capital and labor to resist wage slashing, welcomed U S Steel's price cuts, and signaled no wage reductions. Wall Street reacted with broad gains in steel and industrial shares, while government investigators prepare hearings on prices costs and wages for September.
