SSCI president warns strike would be a tragedy
NEW YORK UPD A steel strike this summer would damage the economy and burden steel mills says Robert G. Welch president of the Steel Service Center Institute. SSCI members operate 1600 centers handling one fifth of US steel delivering a 7.5 billion annual metals business. Welch urged better wage talks and predicted major price actions in June while noting uncertainty over Nixon intervention. He cited rail car shortages and rising delivery pressures from April to July as mills ask customers to adjust schedules and expand receiving to ease strain.
