Steel price hike hits auto industry says union
Washington January 27 The CIO Automobile Workers Union warned the steel price increase harms auto production with a forecast of 40 percent lower output in the latter half of 1949 compared with the year. Union spokesman Donald Montgomery cited a $4 per ton steel hike as an arbitrary power grab. He cited Ward's Automotive Reports in projections for passenger cars and trucks for 1950, while Detroit sources generally see 1950 close to 1949 levels with some uncertainty about the second half.
