Parts Makers Shy

Then there is the matter of
parts from their suppliers. The
latter have their individual
problems, not the least of which
is the matter of prices.
A War Labor Board ruling
makes ii mandatory to pay the
same wage rates civilian
goods that were paid on war
contracts. The OPA maintains
ceiling on prices of the
finished product. Between the
two. parts makers are caught
in position which makes il
impossible for them to make
firm commitments on price of
parts for car manufacturers.
Some parts makers are re-
fusing to accept civilian orders
at all.,They claim they do,
they might as we'll close up as

lief from government agencies
will solve this problem. both

Steel Rise

CLEVELAND, May 2S - The
most important development last
week was the announcement OF
increases of 81 to ST per ton OFT
several finished steel products,
effective May %, which include
the interim advances granted in
January, says Steel.
Much disappointment has been
expressed at the Smaff advance,
which the industry feels does not
nearly compensate for h & h G r
labor and other costs which have
developed since prices were frozen
Warehouses are forbidden TO
pass -on-tbe increased prices 10
customers except on a few prod
ucts and the interim advances
formerly allowed have been With
drawn.
This action is attributed to
alleged failure of distributors TO
furnish OPA with requested cost
information.
Steel backlogs are shrinking
slowly as cancellations still are
relatively light and decline in
orders generally is moderate.
This leaves deliveries in sheets,
bars. some types of tubular goods
and wire still greatly extended.
A notable exception is in plates.
with backlogs dwmdling and ton
mage being offered for July and
August. Plate shipments have
been tapering since March, when
well over 100000 tons were moved
for the highest total for the year,
compared with the all-time total
of 100000 tons in March, 1914.

siderable courage. But they are

They are confronted with

In addition, there are the
tight situations in materials and
