Steel price hike follows union contract win in Pittsburgh
In Pittsburgh, Bethlehem Steel and U S Steel announced price increases after the United Steelworkers won a record billion-dollar labor contract. Bethlehem raises about 5 percent across the board with tin mill products affected. U S Steel lists higher prices for many tin mill items. The union contract boosts wages and benefits by about 6.5 percent yearly over three years, with pensions improving and top wages rising. Bethlehem notes the hikes will offset expected cost increases. U S Steel cites general price moves to relieve financial pressures.

Senate rejects move to restore foreign aid funds
The Senate voted 61 to 16 against restoring 50 million for agricultural development in poorer nations as part of Johnson's foreign aid request. Supporters argued seeds and fertilizer would combat food problems, while opponents said the 1.94 billion dollar aid level suffices amid domestic fiscal issues. The chamber also approved a Pueblo release amendment by 43 to 29, described as a hoax by critics, and adopted a call for a full reevaluation of foreign aid with reforms due by March 31, 1970.
