Victory Over Labor

A section referring to company
unions was eliminated by agree
ment between the steel interests
and NRA officials. Even in CIV
ing technical ground here, Mr.
Lamont scored effectively by an
nouncing that the industry would
continue as in the past, as steel
corporations have been operating
company unions for years.
Already steel company officials
are noting increased production
costs, especially for labor, as a
result of the various steps which
have been taken by the industry
to cooperate in the Governments
program to bring about improved
general business conditions by in
creaSing employment and the pur-
chasing power of the workers Of
the Nation.
On the basis of operations in
July the increased labor cost for
the United States Steel Corpora
tion is put at more than $2,000,-
900 a month, and that Of Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation at $780,
900, with other companies labor
costs increased in proportion to
their production.
