steel prices will remain unchanged,
II has been learned. for another three
months, despite the increase Of IS

The steel men, after hearing the Gov

not press for higher priceS. Iron ore
men. however. are faced with heavy
increase in freight rates. and the 4j
cents increase allowed them barely
covers this increase and. additional
labor costs.

But the outstanding feature of the
