Steel said higher price tags will
amount to $125 million a year
for its products alone.
The expansion programs of 1850
will carry on through 1851 in
most cases. Before the end of
1852, the programs are expected
to add more than 10 million tons

Air Transport Beats
All Previous Highs;
Mail Below War Years
By jones J. Strebiq
Press Aviution Reporter

Associated Press Aviution Reporter
The air transport industry ex-
ceeded all previous highs for pas
senger travel, cargo carrying and
ncome in 1850. Mail still was be-
ow two war years.
Here in brief are the years key
statistics on transport and pro-
iuction based on December esti-
mates by industry economists:
AirlineS:
Domestic carriers expected an
operating profit of about SAT mil
iion-roughly double the record
523 ,562. 900 income for 1949. Travel
volume added up to nearly 8 bill
lion passenger-miles, an increase
of around 18 per cent. Express
gained 81 per cent to SO million
ton-miles and freight rose IL per
cent to ia million on-miles.
international Airlines expected
an operating income of $27.3 mil
lion, or about 35 per cent more
than in 1949. Full-year estimates
of travel volume were complicated
by world developments, but the
figure was expected to be sub
stantially above the previous years
2,072, ,749.00 passenger-miles.
Air freight, heavily affected by
Far East fighting and European
rearmament, reached about % mil
lion ton-mlles, or three and one
half times the 1949 volume. Ex-
press was up 10 per cent to 54
million ton miles.
Manufacturers:
The aircraft and engine indus
try reported a 81 billion business
for the year, an increase of one
third over 1949. Renegotiation and
retroactive tax laws prevented
specific estimates of net income
for the year. 1t appeared cer-
tain, however, to be substantially
above the 1949 profit of $49,224,-

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 30.-Steel
production in 1850 scared to an
all-time record of about 81 million
tons of ingots and castings, break
ing the previous top set in the war
year of 1914 by 10 million tons.
The 1850 figure is an estimate
by the American Iron and Steel
Institute. 1t compares with 3d.
642, 900 tons in 1914 and 77,978,000
tons in 1949.
The 1850 output leaves the
peacetime record of 88,640,000
tons, set in 1948, far behind.
American steel mills established
the new record by expanding
capacity while working full blast
big part of the year. Steel pro-
ducers look forward to more ex-
pansion and greater production
next year.
Strike Is Recalled.
The past year began with a
struggle to catch up with the other
backlog inherited from the great
steel strike of 1949. Producers are
still trying to catch up with orders.
! Steel production was hampered
in January by the three day work
week imposed on the country's
100000 bituminous miners by John
Il, Lewis. United Mine Workers
president.
The diggers were after a new
contract and Mr.. Lewis thought he
would add strength to his bar
gaining position by whiting down
large stocks of coal above ground.
Steel production remained Grip
pied until Mr.. Lewis ordered his
men back March under a new
contract.
Defense Orders Begin.
The coal strike put the steel
mills further behind orders than
they were. The plants were still
behind when defense orders-re-
sulting from the Korean war
began to mount. Orders then
were classified according to
whether they aided the defense
program. Steel shortages grew
worse.
At years end, however, no Gov
ernment compulsory ALLEGATION
system had been set up. Steel
men expect such program in
coming months. BY April, de-
fense orders probably will be TAX
ing third or more of all steel.
The industry escaped a strike
In 1850. None was permitted
under industry wide contracts
with the CIO United Steelworkers
but walkout could have been
staged January /, 1851.
This was averted when United
States Steel Corp. and other pro-
ducers granted the million mem
Der union wage increase averag-
ing 16 cents an hour. That put
the Steelworkers' average hourly
earnings at $188.
Prices Increased.

around the 62 million mark. which
was passed in August for the first
time in our history. The peak in
the record year of 1948 was 61,-
245 200, also in August.
With all the activity which pro-
duced these record figures. the
country during 1850 staged a run
ming battle against imitation and
a rising cost of living. In October
the Governments cost-of- living
index edged to new all-time high
of 1855, meaning that the living
expenses of an average family in
medium sized city were estimated
to be 1876 per cent higher than
the average for the years 1935-1939.
The new record was just slightly
above the previous high Of 1745 in
August and September of 1948.
In an effort to check imitation
and maintain as smoothly as pos
sible the flow Of materials into war
production. the Government in
1850 began applying economic
controls affecting all of us. The
outlook is for even more in the
months ahead.
Curbs were placed on INSTALL
ment buying to check the inf1a-
tionary expansion of debt. Larger
down and monthly payments we're
ordered. Home mortgage require
ments and interest rates on short
term Government securities were
raised.
Businessmen were ordered not
to hoard through excessive inven-
tories. Cutbacks were ordered on
civilian consumption of copper,
nickel, zinc and aluminium in
order to increase the flow to mill
tary production and stockpiling.
Civilian use Of natural rubber was
curtailed.
AS the country moved into the
Korean economy, new surge of
price and wage increases de-
veloped. In the first half of the
year labor extended its 1949
bargaining demands for pensions
and other non-wage benefits, with
wage scales remaining about static.
However from July on the de-
mand welled for higher wages,
and they were won in a number
of the leading basic industries,
notably automobiles and steel.
Agriculture Gains.
In agriculture, too, the year was
divided into halves. For the first
six months farm prices declined,
and with them farm income went
down. Agricultural products piled
up. unsold. In the last six months
the situation turned around, and
the farmer began to feel again a
war-born boom.
Korean developments carried
the stock market to a new 20-year
high as investors studied the
economic changes. Until midyear
stocks had climbed gradually in
an extension of the 1949 bull
market. They plunged sharply at
the outbreak of war in Korea, and
then began rising steadily again,
with a special squirt after the No.
vember elections.

Food Producers Ready
To Meet New Demands
After Successful so
By the Assocjcted Press

NEW YORK. Dec. 30.-One
thing Americans apparently don't
have to worry about in the uncer-
tain months ahead is food short
age.
Here's how the situation stacks
UP as the New Year begins:
Crops in 1850 were the third
largest on record, bigger than the
average for the past eight years
"the most productive period in
American agriculture.
Farmers with their new ma
chinery, improved fertilizers and
insecticides and greater skill in
agriculture methods and animal
breeding, seem well able to meet
the Governments call for the
largest production in history for
1851.
Plants Modernized.
Food manufacturers have mod
ernized their plants and equip
ment since the last war, developed
many new packaging methods to
reduce spoilage and waste, stepped
up their food research. found short
cuts in distribution.
The Nations cold storage stocks
of perishahle foods like meat,
cheese. eggs, poultry. fishery prod
ucts, fruits and vegetables are at
a record high So billion pounds
as of December /, compared with
4.6 billion the year before. Sur
plus stocks of wheat, corn, dry
beans and other commodities also
are large, although increased mill
tary needs have been trimming
them down somewhat.
Estimates Listed.
The authoritative trade associa-
ton. Grocery Manufacturers of
America, estimates that Americans
spent nearly $32 billion in food
stores during the past year
around SIT billion more than in
1949. Restaurant meals came to
an additional $11.2 billion or about
the same as in 1949.
Prices. as any housewife knows,
ended the year generally higher
than a year ago-but still well be-
low the 194e peaks.

Costly Strike Curbed
Coal Production in
Early Months Of Year
BY the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH. Dec. 30.-The
vitality important coal industry
began 1850 in strife and ended
1t in peace. But new labor con-
troversies may threaten in coming
months.
The year opened with the 400
600 members of the United Mine
Workers Union on a three-day
work week. That procedure
ordered by UNIV President John
L. Lewis-developed into a full
scale, Nationwide work stoppage
among bituminous miners during
the first week of February.
The great coal strike of 1856
widely described as the country's
most expensive-gots its start in
scattered refusals of diggers to
work any number of days week.
Idleness spread slowly through the
coal fields.
At the time, Mr.. Lewis was seek
ing pay raises for the miners.
The short work week was move
frankly aimed at aiding his bar
gaining.
Coal Stocks High.
Coal stocks above ground were
abnormally high at rs million
tons.
Mr.. Lewis apparently thought
his bargaining efforts were weak
ened by such large supplies. With
several weeks supply Of coal on
hand, operators might not be so
reluctant to see Mr.. Lewis men
march out of the pits.
After the walkout assumed pro-
portions of a regular strike, more
than 100000 men in coal-using
industries were laid off. The total
of idle miners and other workers
rose to near the million mark.
Coal-carrying railroads and steel
plants were heaviest hit.
On March S, the UNIV chieftain
ordered all his men back to work
after he won wage increases and
other benefits in a new contract.
The pact gave miners a new daily
wage of $1475-up 10 cents. They
originally had demanded SIS a
day.
Royalty Also Won.
The UNIV also won operators
agreement to a 30-cent-a-ton
royalty on each ton of coal pro-
duced. That money is paid into
the UNIV Welfare Fund. The
new figure represented a 10-cent-
atom advance.
Industry-union bargaining is
going to be a lot simpler in its
early stages from now on-if all
goes according to plan.
Bargaining Simpler.
Mr.. Lewis will have to deal
only with two men to cover a
whopping big part of the industry
They are Joseph E. Moody, head
of the Southern coal operators,
and President Harry M. Moses of
the recently organized Bituminous
Coal Operators Association. Mr..
Moses group represents big bloc
of Northern operators. 1t includes
many steel companies which own
extensive coal mining properties.
The association represents about
one-third of the Nations tonnage
Or 155 million tons. 1t was
organized in an attempt to con-
front Lewis with unified indus
try, So far, the Southerners and
the Western operators have chosen
to remain aloof.
Coal men are wary of estimat-
ing total 1850 soft coal production
until all figures are in, citing the
ease with which weather and
other factors upset predictions.
But they agree that this years
output will surpass that of 1949.
when about 430 million tons of
soft coal were mined.

COST OF LIVING-Impact of
Korean war is shown in cost of
living. On November Is, it
stood at the record high of
1855 of the 1858 average,
up 3.2% from June. A further
rise is in prospect because of
the advance in wholesale
prices.
