Nixon eyes regional bar gains as industry prices ease
In a New York speech President Nixon warned that failing bar gaining moves in construction could trigger federal intervention. Bethlehem Steel rolled back a 13 percent price rise to 6.8 percent while US Steel matched the 6.8 percent figure. The Commerce Department blamed the GM strike for part of the GNP decline and officials predict a rebound early in 1971 as federal spending may rise by up to 15 billion to boost demand. The Fed cut rates and bill yields fell, aiding a housing boom with privately owned starts reaching 1,987,000 in December.
