White Says Established Plants Get Priority In Steel Cutbacks
Republic Steel plans to keep alloy facilities in Canton and Massillon and preserve as many workers as possible. President Charles M. White told reporters at a Cleveland hotel that demand shifted from grabbing any steel to needing it on demand, triggering a serious alloy cutback but not a complete halt. He noted wartime alloy demand was high and predicted peacetime demand may not exceed half a million tons, with Massillon likely to run five or six of nine open hearth furnaces for normal use. The firm will keep furnaces ready for emergencies and reassign laid-off workers where possible.
