To Probe Raise
In Steel Prices
Washington, Dec. 15 (fP) A
CIO spokesman said today the
labor organization is "simply
appalled by the rumors of pend-,
ing steel price increases." i
Everett Kassalow, executive i
secretary of the CIO full employ
ment committee, made the state
ment in testimony prepared for
hearings of the senate-house
economic committee. . He was
called before a sub-committee
which is studying ways to at
tract investment capital to small
businesses.
Senator O'Mahoney (D-Wyo)
said a steel price increase would
be "out of line" and would call
for a congressional inquiry.
The increase which they re
ferred to was forecast by Ben
jamin Fairless, president of the
U.S. Steel corporation, in Chica
go yesterday.
Fairless told a news confer
ence that his company is going
to increase some prices and do-
crease others in a revision to be
announced Friday.
Fairless blamed the recent
freight rate boost and the pen
sion plan won by Philip Mur
ray's CIO steelworkers for the
increased cost which he said ne
cessitated the price rise.
