STEEL'S PH0NY PRICE CUT
By Federated Press Econon

By Federated Press Economist
The halo the u. S. Steel Corporation has just donned is as
crooked as its new spring wage-price formula.
Accompanied by salvos in the press, Big Steel turned down
the request of the CLIO steelworkers' union for a much needed
wage increase and announced it was reducing the prices of
such products as nails. tin plate and wire netting The corpor-
alton claimed both actions may be helpful in bringing about

It cut prices on some of lis products

the reduction in Big Steel's prices will
run around ONE per cent
Compare this with the price in

recent past. During the last two
years. Big steel hiked its prices three
times. The total increase was more
than sa5o million a year. The much

The increase in productivity this
year will raise Big Steel's profits by
