Steel Firms Can Pay
Wage IncreaseFr
Profits, Union Says
BY the Assoeiafed Press


Steelwerkers said yesterday in
dustry. could pay them so cent
hourly wage increase out of "ex-
cess" profits. Industry said this
would boost prices and make
things tough for everyone. in
cluding the Government.
The steelworkers' argument end
ed their initial testimony in the
crucial steel dispute in which they
are asking 1872 cent hourly wage
hikes and other benefits.
Hearings before a six-man panel
studying the big labor manage
ment controversy for the Wage
Sterilization Board then recessed
for three weeks to give the COM
panies time to prepare their case.
They will resume in New York.
Says Output Has SCARED.
Otis Brubaker, research director
Of the CIO United Steel Workers
Union, told the, panel United
States Steel Corp. and other COM
panies could raise wages so cents
an hour and pay the added cost
out Of excess profits.
He said output per man hour
has scared sharply since 1913
about 167 per cent from 1919 to
1889. another 40.5.per cent since
then. He said current Wage
Board regulations allow at least a
"a per cent wage hike.
The Chamber of Commerce of
the United States in a statement
yesterday said if the Government
gives way to wage demands" of
the steelworkers the result will
be serious inflationary pres
sures."
1t said prices would soar and
"the victims will be consumers,
hxed income recipients, such as
teachers, the aged, the blind and
many other Americans who are in
genuine need"
Higher Prices for Weapons.
It added the Government will
have to pay higher prices for the
weapons sorely needed for de-
fense," leading to deficits which
would cause even more imitation.
The statement was made in a
letter from Chamber President
D. A. Hulcy to Defense Mobilizer
Charles E. Wilson, Economic
Stabilizer Roger L. Putnam, and
Wage Stabilizer Nathan P. Fem
singer. 1t said:
l. Hourly earnings of steel
workers have risen faster than
prices since the Korean war
started.
2. Corporate profits after taxes
are at their lowest level since
1946 but wages have jumped more
than so per cent In that time.
3. Since 1945 wages have in
creased about $65 billion. profits
OF all corporations only about SIT
billion. Consequently. American
industry would have long ago been
destroyed if wage increases were
paid out of profits
Union Termed Cynical"
4. The union argument is ''cyni-
cal' because it Is exactly the
reverse of what they maintain
when times are hard and there
is unemployment.
The CIO steelworkers union
has postponed a threatened strike
at least until February "a while
the WSB tries to work out soIu-
tion of its dispute with industry.
Hearings started Thursday be-
fore special six-man panel. Top
union officials took the stand first.
The companies will begin giving
their side of the story February
4, shortly after the three-week
recess ends. It is hoped that all
testimony will be completed by
February Is or Is.
The panel, whose recommended
tions are not binding, then will
study testimony and make it's
recommendations.
