Provision To Be Made For 3 Per Ton Steel Hike
Washington economic stabilizer Roger L Putnam directed Price Chief Ellis Arnall to issue a regulation that will enable the steel industry to raise prices by about 3 a ton. CIO President Philip Murray accused the steel industry of manufacturing a wage crisis to force over the ceiling price increases and to use a steel strike threat as a smokescreen to dictate terms for national defense. Murray testified before the Senate Labor committee as industry officials predicted government approval of price hikes to offset wage gains and restore private control. He said industry leaders refused to bargain to push the nation toward a crisis and force price concessions. The price boosts are seen as key to the dispute, with increases possibly coming in a few days while wage and negotiation efforts continue.
