saying, We've got to get rid

that true What you were not told is that production
and sales and payrolls, taxes and other costs also
established new record highs.
During this period the companies sold $9A billion
worth of Steel And after covering their payros taxes
and other costs-an record hghs-they showed profit
of $783 Million less than 8h cents on each dollar of sales
Let's see waat happened to this profit.
One.Third Was ''PhGtOm Proft.''
Roughly one-third of the profit was phantom pro-
fit" which had to be used to cover the inflated cost of
replacing wornout tools and facilities This onethird
provided nothing for the nothing for expansion.
It had to be used just to stand still.
Otherwise the steel industry would die little each
year its plants out. And would the jobs of
its 100000 employees and the invested savings of
its more than one million shareowners.
One.Third Was Reinuested
Another third or so of the profit went to meet the con-
tnung need for improved or enlarged plants and equip
ment necessary working capital, sources of raw
materials new research facilities and to improve produc
tive efficiency generally.
This was the "re-invested prof" that provides for
Americas industrial growth sustans job security, and
steadily raises the standard of living of the American
people,
One.Third Vent to the O,Uners
What was left of the proft-$268 mlion-went to the
owners of the steel companies in the form of dividends
This was the only payment they received from their
companies for the use of all the tools that their savings
have provided and it represented annual return of
about percent the present market value of their
investment.
That is about the return you get your savings
account at the bank-less than Government Bond.
Not exactly fantastic" is it? Especially since the
companies in order to attract the savings they
must havemust compete in the financial market place
against all other security issues.
Remember This AN-Important Fact
This then the simple sober truth about steel profits
and payrolls in 1882 and from you may draw your
conclusions But there is amportant fact that
should be lost in the okescreen of confusion
that the Union leaders have sought to create around
profits And that fact is this:
Any increase in steel wage costs at this time
will give another dangerous twist to the upward
spiral of imitation.
This is because steelworkers already leading the
wage parade and further increase will force other
unions in every branch of industry and trade to redoube
their efforts to "catch up Thus wages and production
costs will rise on all sides; and so will the cost of almost
everything you buy

Who really profited
in steel this year?
Steelworkers' increased pay outstripped
owners dividend increase by 86 to 1

ltsno surprise to anyone that the nations steel COM
panes earned larger profits in the frened first half of
this year than in the first half of the recessionrdden
year of 1858 After ALL under pressure of strike fears,
customers bought lot steel nearly 3h billion
dollars worth more.
But would it surprise you to learn that for every dollar
of increased dividends received by the of the
steel companies this year. the steeLvorkers received $50
in increased ,Oages and benefits?
Well, that is the facH
Out of the increased profits the owners of steel
companies received 81 million more in dividends
this year than they did in the first half of last
year.
The steelworkers, however, received $6O3 mil
lion more in wages and benefits.
And that increase in any mans arithmetic, is Sc to
one in favor of the steeworke But it still isn't enough
for the Union leaders, They want more and more
and more When they describe steel profits as fantas-
tic" what word then left to describe the gains of the
steelworkers?
Let's Look at the Facts
The steel companies have no complaint whatever to
make about the greatly increased prosperity Of the steel
workers. But they do protest vigorously when Union
leaders conceang the fabulous gains of their members
seek to distort magnify and misrepresent the profit
picture in brazen effort to fost another disastrous
round of wage imitation upon the American people.
We think the time has come therefore, to look at the
sober facts about payros and profits and to put them
in perspective
One Million O,oners Got 5000
Million Total Dividends
The steel companies owned by more than one mil
lion stockholders whose invested savings have provided
the TOOLS the plants, and other capital facilities needed
to make steel AS payment for the of these facilities
which cost in excess of SIG billion the stockholders
ceved 1858 million in dividends during the first six
months of this year.
6O7, 1000 Employees Got
$2,25I 200, 900 in Payrous
In this same period, the steel companies employed
an average of 607,OOO men and women who provided
the brains energy skill and judgment necessary to pro-
duce and market the STEEL For their services they re-
ceved total of 2251 million in wages and salaries
more than eight times as much as the owners received
SteelsOOrkers' Average Earnings
Jumped $29.38 Week
More than IS percent of the total payroll went to
$4,000 hourly-paid workers, whose average weekly
earnings have risen steadily in every quarterly period
since the beginning of 1858 In these eighteen months
alone the steelworkers earnings jumped from $1O564
week to $13502 = gain of $2938 week.
