Director General Blames U. S. Steel for Rail Bid Collusion
Washington May 23 The Associated Press reports that six steel companies led by United States Steel submitted uniform bids of 47 per ton for open hearth rails to the railroad administration. Director General Hines said bids were placed under protest and with disapproval of the prices and method. He noted the bids followed an industrial board's price approvals and warned that if government withholds approval it may pay the prices for the year. Hines cited recent steel industry profits to argue the prices were unreasonably high and that the policy blocks lower costs as demand rises.
