Tracks Nationwide Steel Tieup Threatens Over Pension (Continued From Page One) tice and wage talks began. Pension Big Issue 1 Murray stipulated he wanted to talk about pensions. U. S. Steel Corp. and other leading basic steel producers (some 189 companies employing 500,000 are involved in current talks) insisted pension discussion was out of the ques tion this year. And "Big Steel," which usual ly sets the pattern for the indus try, turned down wage increase proposals with a definite "no." Mounting material costs, the steel companies said, made wage boosts impossible. They also cited the falling demand for steel. The operating rate has slumped from 102 per cent of theoretical ca pacity in mid-March to an esti mated 75 to 85 per cent this week. Murray had this answer: Steel companies reported large profits in 1948 and in the first quarter of 1949.
