Wage details emerge in Homestead mill dispute
Mr O Donnell, a heater in the 119 inch plate mill, said his monthly wages were about $144. He warned that a pro scale lowering billet prices to $22 would cut his pay by 12 percent. He refused to answer a question about alleged barge arson by oil on the water. A recess was taken at 1 40 PM until 4 PM.
