Steel price rises spark national concern in Winchester
Public hearings held by the Joint Congressional Committee on the Economic Report probe steel price boosts. A $4 per ton rise lifts finished steel costs about 55 percent versus a decade ago, echoing through local markets. The piece ties steel costs to car prices and household goods, noting the 1948 steel industry profits near $512 million, with 1949 early figures around $606.6 million. It also covers a coal field work slowdown and a distressing case of a Carmichaels miner, Frank Starzyk, who took his life after a low pay day, plus a feature on Mary Farmer receiving the Jaycee Safe Driver Award and her views on safe driving.
