Jones and LaughIin
Files Suit Charging
Gray Market Sales
BY the As.oeiated Press

PITTSBURGH, May 13.-The
Jones g. Laughlin Steel Corp.
announced today it has filed damage
suits in Detroit and Chicago, charg-
ing two businessmen with illegal
offers to sell j. & L. steel.
The defendants are Harry c..
Edwards of the Edwards Industrial
Engineering. Detroit. and Howard
Kimble, Chicago, described by j. g.
L. as one of Mr.. Edwards associates.
The two we're charged with offer
ing to sell $500 tons of j. & l..
ingots per month for year to Ford
Motor Co., at what a company state
ment said was "a gray market price
of SIS ton" the published mill
price at the time was $36. A viola
ton of the Robinson-Patman Act
and other laws was charged.
The, complaints also charged the
defendants claimed to control twice
that amount of j. & L. ingots and
to control steel produced by other
companies.
100000 Damages Asked.
Damages of not less than 100000
were asked against Kimble. No set
amount was asked in the suit filed
against Mr.. Edwards. Restraining
orders were sought in each case.
The company statement said: "At
the price said to have been quoted,
such tonnage would have a gray
market of more than million
dollars a month.
The complaints were filed in the
Wayne County (Mich) Circuit
Court, and the Federal Court for
the Northern District of Illinois at
Chicago.
President Ben Moreell of the j.
and L. declared:
I'm addition to protecting our
good name, Jones and Laughlin Is
anxious to eliminate gray market
operations as heavy and undesir-
able burden on the prices OF con-
sumer products.
For the past year and half we
have investigated every reported in
stance involving ]. & L. products
in the gray market in all parts OF
the country, but this is the first
case where the evidence could be
documented."
T. Close Link to Ford Credited.
A company statement said "close

and j. g. L. was primarily respon-

led to filing of the suits"
The complaint said Mr.. Edwards

ment with the offer. mentioning J..
g. L. as the manufacturer. That in
formation was relayed to the steel
company with the result that j. g.

In Chicago Howard Kimble, at the
address given in the complaint, de-

transactions. He identified himself

ment. The Union demanded $28,OO00OO. It broke
off negotiations tonight after refusal to consider
wage increase of six cents an hour which the
Company offered in order to keep its employees
and plants at work in the face of the greatest de-
mand for our products since the end of World
War II.
"The Company had pointed out to the Union
representatives and to the United States and State
Conciiators that wage increases at this time would
benefit nobody; would only result in higher prices
and higher living costs; and that this had been the
effect of the two previous rounds of wage increases
since 1916.
"The strike which has been called for Wednes.
day morning will benefit nobody. 1t will inflict
needless and heartless suffering on employees and
their families. The Union has not complied with
the request of the State authorities to hold State
conducted strike vote among the employees. The
contract forbids strike
not wages, it is not the dollars and cents of the
situation, but rather issues entirely apart from
Chryser Corporation and its employees which
determine the Unions action. Chrysler Corpora.
ton apparently has been selected the target of
the Unions third round nflationary wage cam.
paign. The employees of Chrysler Corporation are
being called upon to make the sacrifice for the
Unions larger stakes in other companies and in
other industries.
"The circumstances which led up to the Unions
walkout tonight from the negotiations began on
February u when the Union began its talks with
Chrysler 80 cents wage demand, PENSIONS
insurance. and other proposals. Under the contract
with Chrysler, the Union was entitled to open the
question of wage rate adjustments only, and with
difficulty at the outset the negotiations of the last
ten weeks have been confined to that issue.

Herman L. Weckler VcePygsdent and General Manager
Of Chysler Corporation issued tonight the following statement
May II, 194S

"The Company has stated repeatedly that wage
increases would inevitably contribute to another
rise in prices, another rise in living costs, and
consequently would not accomplish any lasting
increase in employees purchasing power. The
Union, on the other hand resorted to misrepresen'
tations of facts and figures to abuses of persona
ties in the management, and refused to take into
account the every day experiences that employees
and people generally have had with prices and liv.
ing costs as result of wage increases since the end
of the war.
themselves to be misled by these general misrepre.
sentations and irresponsible statements. The Com.
pany's financial statements, audited by certified
public accountants, have been made public.
1t is public knowledge that the Corporations

year. less than they were in the five prewar years,
and less than they ought TO be considering the pur.
chasing power of the dollars we use to buy ma.
terials and supplies and machinery and equipment
to provide jobs for our employees.
"The management of Chryser Corporation has
responsibility in this situation, not only to its em'
poyees and its stockholders its dealers and its
tomers it also has public responsibility. twould
seem like an easy matter for us to say yes to an
exorbitant wage demand and to pass on the in'
creased costs to the public in higher prices for our
products We do not see our responsibility in that
casual light.
1--WE do not believe that in the long it will do
any good for our employees, or for anybody else
connected with this Company, for us to try to pur'
chase peace with the Union at this time at the cost
of another spiral of initiation that will nfict higher
living costs on everybody all over again.
1.-THE Chryser representatives have told the
Union and the Federal and State Conciliators that
we still are willing to discuss this situation and to
arrive at reasonable settlement. And that is our
position regardless Of the call to strike.
