Prices, policy shift as U S Steel ends point system
U S Steel abandoned the basing point system last July 12 after a Supreme Court ruling deemed a similar cement industry pricing scheme illegal. J and L president Ben Moreel called the decision a legal shackle and urged amendments to fair trade laws. He argued lower mill prices to distant markets should be allowed to compete with better located rivals. National Supply Co raised ore and tubing prices at its Spang Chalfant division by 8 to 15 dollars per net ton, with casing and oil well tubing seeing the largest hike.
