Two Congressional
Committees Probe
Steel Price Rise

Washington (LPA)-Shocked at
the inflationary implications in the
new steel price rise, two Congress
-ional committees will open investi-
cations of the increase early in
1850.
The House Monopoly investigat-
ing committee has joined with the
Joint Congressional Economic Com
mittee in planning an inquiry into
the steel price situation. Chairman
Emanuel Celler Cd, N.Y. of the
House Committee said he was
shocked by the social irresponsi-
bility" of United States Steel in
raising prices despite its high pro-
fits.
Celler said the action of U. S.
Steel indicated the need for "a re-
examination of the prerogative of
bigness" in business. His commit
tee has been studying the power of
big industries to control prices and
production.
Even before Celler acted, Chair
man Joseph c. 0'Mahoney Cd,
Wyo.) had ordered an investigation
of the steel price rise by his Joint
Congressional Economic Commit
tee. The staff Of the committee is
at work studying the question Of
steel costs and profits preparatory
to open hearings which O'Mahoney
hopes to begin early in January.
The four-dollar-a-ton price in
crease announced by U. S. Steel is
to amount to about a
four per cent increase in most steel
prices. 1t means an aggregate in
crease in cost to the manufacturers
of steel products of several humid
red million dollars a year which, by
the time it is passed on to consum-
ers, might well start another gen
aral price increase.
