Steel Buying Viewed
As Hedging Against
Possibility Of Strike
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, May 13.-Over-
whelming steel demand is based
in large part on consumers de-
sires to build up inventories as
a hedge against a possible steel
strike. the Iron Age, national
Woodworking weekly. said today.
And consumers figure that II
steel prices 60 up again-which
the weekly calls likely-the value
OF their inventories will be raised
accordingly.
"A steel strike this summer Is
unlikely because both union and
management will try hard to
avoid it," the Iron Age said,
but consumers aren't betting
there won't be one"
Steel companies earnings pros
poets are frightened by current
increases in extra charges and
by the chance that the excess
profits tax may be left to die
next month. But they cannot
cash in on this profit potential
If they are hit by a full-fledged
steel STRIKE" the Iron Age point
ed out.
1t theorized that II the admin
fstration kept hands of, a quiet
and peaceful agreement could be
reached-mayhe a wage increase
OF about 10 cents an hour and
a steel price increase Of around
81 a ton.
Increases in steel extra charges
continued to spread through the
industry and now affect most
tonnage products, said the
weekly. mentioning structurals,
plates, bars, sheets and strip,
wire products. alloy products.

track accessories.
Scrap steel prices continued to
go in the opposite direction. The
Iron Age steel scrap composite
fell II cents a ton during the
week to 1886 a gross ton.

ever. climbed slightly this week.
