Steel Rate Heading
Sharply Lower as
Strike Continues
BY The Assosia,sd Press

CLEVELAND, Dec. 2.-The coal
strike already has forced steel pro-
duction to the third lowest level OF
the year and, If it continues several
weeks, may curb output as ex-
tensively as the steel strike early
this year when production dropped
to about per cent, the magazine
Steel said today.
The weekly review Of the industry
estimated steel production last week
at 65.5 per cent of capacity for the
Nation. II the idleness in bitumi-
nous mines continues another week,
the ingot rate will drop below the
As per cent OF capacity level ex-
perienced during the bituminous
mine tieup OF last spring, the maga-
zine added.
while steel operations are to-
boganning rapidly, metal working
and industrial production in general
are also undergoing marked curtail-
ment," Steel continued. Many
plants are either being forced to
suspend completely or will be forced
to do SO in the near future.
"The whole industrial economy OF
the country is receiving jolt which
may prove disastrous unless some
break in the coal deadlock occurs
The national steelmaking rate OF
65.5 per cent last week was l8 per
cent below the rate for the pre-
vious week. Sharpest decline was
recorded in the Birmingham dis
