Expense Of Producing Steel To Increase About Dollar Due To Coal Pact

New York AP The Iron Age says the new coal miners contract will raise finished steel production costs by somewhat less than $1 a ton. Despite this the steel industry may see lower coal costs per ton this year than 1949 as last year’s coal tax from a weeklong production drive is cited. Output is about 73 percent of capacity, with expectations to climb back into the nineties in two weeks. The coal strike caused about a million tons of lost steel production, enough to supply roughly 150,000 standard houses with autos and appliances. No. 1 heavy melting steel in Pittsburgh regained $1 a ton, lifting the Iron Age steel scrap composite to $27.42 per gross ton.

Railroads moved coal cars as 600 empties were ordered today while normal traffic runs at 400 to 500 cars daily. Chesapeake and Ohio furloughed 5,79 workers and hopes most will return by week’s end.
