Steel Changes Bring
Rush in Pittsburgh,
PLANT Sites Scarce
BY the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, Dec. II. This
steel capital is running out of sites
for plants which want to move
closer to steel supply.
The trend of steel consuming
plants moving to production centers
has gathered force ever since July,
when the United States Supreme
Court outlawed the basing point
method of selling steel.
Now it looks as though Pittsburgh
may get a weekly payroll lift Of
some ST 100000 and might count an
additional 10000 workers.
Some steel fabricating plants favor
a move here because producing mills
no longer absorb part of freight
costs as they did under the basing
point method. Since the court de-
cision the customer must pick up
the freight tab
But companies who would like to
pick up stakes must find answers
to these questions:
Cd Will we be able to find level
site near railroads; (2) will we be
assured of a steel supply when we
get there; 80 can we hire workers
in the tight Pittsburgh labor mar
ket; a. if our workers come, too,
where will they find housing in a
city that already has shortage of
more than $4,000 living units; (5)
what if the new Congress legalizes
a return to the old selling methods?
These are hard questions to
answer but some firms have salts
fled themselves they should move.
Among them are the Kelsey Hayes
Wheel Co, moving from Detroit to
nearby McKeesport: and General
Motors Fisher Body Division, which
is taking over one plant in the area
and building another.
Some firms which are talking
about moving here may leave hard
hit communities behind them An
example is Watertown, N. Y, home
of the New York Airbrake Co.,
which supports 10000 persons.
A former Watertown Mayor, c.
Winsloz, said that town and some
of its neighbors will be "mortally
hurt" if the new sales system con-
tinues and the company moves out
He said two other local firms were
planning similar action.
Equally troubled are residents of
Muskegon. Mich, where Shaw
Walker Manufacturing Co, with
$500 workers, and Continental
Motors Co., with $500, are consider
ing leaving town. The Motor Wheel
Co. of Lansing. Mich, already has
taken an option on a Pittsburgh
plant.
Oficials of the big Briggs Manu-
featuring Co., major Detroit sup
plier of automobile bodies, have
been in and out of Pittsburgh re-
