Canada to Feel Strike Shadow Across Industries
The United States steel strike looms over Canada as the nation imports about one third of its steel from U.S. mills. Government officials warn that a prolonged strike could require wartime controls on distribution and shift priority to construction and utilities. Canadian mills can meet most primary needs but not complete finished steel requirements, with items like fenders hoods and treated sheets in demand. In Pittsburgh, one fifth of John L. Lewis’s coal miners returned to work while about 1,000,000 other steel and coal workers stay on strike for pensions.
