Steel prices and profits during postwar era discussed
A company official analyzes steel market dynamics after 1939, noting semi finished steels sold near scrap prices and arguing inflation rumors are unfounded. He cites rising costs: wages up 87 cents, scrap iron 158 percent, coal 296 percent, fuel oil 255 percent, while commodity prices rose 110 percent and steel profits hover around six percent. Capacity expanded 15 percent since 1939 to 94.25 million tons annually, with plans to add two million more in two years, amid strikes and raw material shortages.
