Way Cleared
For New High
Steel Output

NEW YORK, June Is P).-
The labor settlement in the
automobile industry has cleared
away the one big obstacle to a
record year in steel production,
Iron Age, the national metal
working weekly, said today.
The magazine added that from
now on the car producers will be
ordering heavily. 1t added that
the auto induStry's expediters
are pushing steel mills to the
limit simply to maintain pro-
duction.
Iron Age reported as follows:
Steel inventories in the auto
mobile industry are reported to
be as low as a five-day supply.
At the same time, steel mills
have about reached the practical
limit of their producing ability,
The ingot rate is beginning to
reflect long deferred mainten-
ance needs.
Until maintenance and vaca-
tions are taken care of, it's
doubtful that production will do
better than it's present pace and
the chances are it will ease
slightly.
Some consumers are finding
it difficult to get steel and are
turning to warehouses and
other sources to piece together
their requirements. At least one
producer, however, has issued
definite orders that none of its
customers will suffer from lack
of steel.
Meanwhile, wage negotiations
in the steel industry are under
way and the steel industry will
come perilously close to a strike. u
If the steelworkers get Their
objective of a 12-to-15-cent pei
hour wage raise, the price rise
lis expected to average a $3.50
Ia ton.
