u. 5. Steel Increases
Prices 81 Per Ton;
Others Due 10 Follow
By the Associated Pres.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, June II.
The United States Steel Corp.
increased steel prices an average
Of 81 a ton today, presaging
industry-wide raises which could
send the Nations living costs
spiraling.
Big Steel's action came FIVE
days after it granted an increase
of 81a cents an hour to 10000
employees represented by the
CIO United Steelworkers.
It is almost the first rise in
basic steel prices since a 55-day
strike last summer, which ended
after the union won pay pack
age increase of 211a cents an
hour.
Others Due to Follow.
Other steel producers are ex-
pected to follow United States
Steel's lead and raise prices: They
probably will adhere to a similar
scale. However, President c. M.
White of Republic Steel Corp.
says his firm plans an increase
of S. to $40 a ton.
Industry wide steel price
raises may be reflected in higher
price tags for the many thou
thousands of items which are
made of steel. 1t is unlikely that
manufacturers will absorb any
such increases, meaning the
consumer ultimately may have
to pay more for everything from
pins to refrigerators.
United States Steel, largest
steel producer in the Nation, said
overall effect of the price
changes represents an average
of about two-tenths of a cent a
pound for carbon steel products,
which now will sell for six cents
a pound or about $12O a ton.
Along with this upturn, there
are proportionate advances for
alloy and stainless steel prod
uctS.
Three More Producers Sign.
Three more basic steel pro-
ducers signed agreements with
the U. S. w. yesterday, giving
nearly $4,000 workers an 81a
cents-an-hour wage increase.
They are Sharon Steel Corp,
Wheeling Steel Corp. and Pitts
burg Steel Co.
This brought to 10 the num-
ber of firms signed up, including
United States Steel, which set
the pattern last Friday.

fair employment practice, the

the Republican platform pledge to

realm of discriminatory employ

In other parts of his address,
