Stocks Mixed,
Range Small;
Trading Slack

NEW YORK, Feb. 8 tR.-The

easing slightly at the time.

cisively, United States Steel,

downward to another new low
at 621a bid 1924 asked.

Steel Makers
Cite Need Of
Higher Prices

NEW YORK, Feb. 8 (P.-The
steel price pot is about ready to
boil over. the Iron Age. national
Woodworking weekly. said today.
Some producers are beginning
to champ at the bit" said the
publication. "They need higher
prices to help pay for the biggest
steel expansion program in years.
If the pressure grows strong
enough, there could be an across
the-board price increase of So
to 81 a ton, soon--and perhaps
more"
Iron Age noted that advances
in steel extras '-additional
charges for special requirements
have already boosted average
steel prices about $1.30 a ton
since last July
Although business and profits
have been good" it said, steel
producers argue that their return
on investment is not up to re-
turn on sales. And with expan-
sion costs averaging 5000 per ton
"a lot more than the book value
of installed capacity-the need
for higher prices is apparent"
The weekly said steel pro-
ducers are more concerned
than they care to admit" over
the steel wage outlook this sum-
mer.
Dave McDonald's United
Steelworkers will play up better
steel profits for all they're
WORTH it said. Mcdonald
likely will keep steel producers
on tenterhooks until the last
minute as far as saying what
his actual price for settlement
will be. He's certain to ask for
a substantial wage increase, sup
Elementary unemployment bene-
fits and the union shop.
THE recent settlement for Is
cents an hour in the oil industry
and increases ranging from
s cents an hour in other indus
tries will be further talking
points for Mr.. Mcdonald.
IF steel labor's price for an
other year of peace in the in
dustry is 1913 cents an hour
as some suspect-it will be
touch-and-eo on the question of
a strike. If Mcdonald wins,
steel prices may have to rise as
much as $3.50 a ton to COM
pensate."

Ia 3712 hour workweek. Public
Printer Raymond Blattenberger
asked if he had such authority.
Mr.. Brownell answered that there
was such authority, declaring
that Congress in setting the 40
hour workweek in 1945 for
classified employees did not neces-
Sarily mean to bar wage board
employees from a shorter work
week. When the next GPO con-
tract negotiations open up next
March, the craft employees un-
doubtedly will seek the shorter
workweek on the basis Of the
Attorney Generals decision.
SCIENTIFIC AND ENGI-
NEERING JOBS-The executive
pay bill approved by Congress
contained only rs additional
$4,000 to $4,000 a year scien-
tific and engineering jobs for the

about $50 less than had originally
been voted by the House. The
National Advisory Committee fol-
Aeronautics received 80 more
jobs and the National Security
