The rates are based on the stan

WRONG AFFROACH
State Senator GUI, chairman of
an interim committee, said recent
ly that one of the reasons for the
longer «entons of the legislature
is the slowness of labor and man
agement to reach a compromise in
i ne mp toy ment and industrial ac
ct<|ent mils. That la true.
w’hat is not true, nor good gov
ernrnetX> to that the legislature
should wait for labor and manage

Certainly both labor and man
agement should be heard. In re-
cent yearg n has been the custom
for legiMative committees to per
the two groups to make a
compromise and then accept it.

la It possible for a <50-a-week
acbool teacher to become head of
a big American corporation? I t
is. If year name Is Roger M.
B lough.
T h irty years ago, Blough
(rhymes with plow) was teach
ing history in Hawley, Pennsyl
vania. Today, he la Chairman of
the Board of the $3 billion
United States Steel Corporation,
employing 260.000 people.
How did he do it?
Luck and circumstance*, says
Blough who, at 53. is a six-footer
with an easy, relaxed manner,
known as a “low-pressure” exec-
* utive.
Was farm boy
A Pennsylvania farm boy<
Blough attended a one-room
grade school, worked his way
through tiny Susquehanna Uni
versity in Selinsgrove, Pennsyl
vania, and then spent three years
teaching school.
He left teaching to study law
at Yale. Blough * ftr»t big break
came when he became one of
many lawyers employed by U. S.
Steel in 1939 during its legal tus
sle with the Government.
He worftd harder, longer and
more effectively than most Wall
Street law clerks and caught the
eye of Ben Fairless, who was
President of the Corporation.
) Fairleaa liked his wary, pru
dent mind, his ability to answer
questions with up-to-the-minute
facta and assigned him to sue-
sessively bigger and bigger Jobe.
Blough worked and studied

hard. In handling the Corpora
tion's complex legal affairs, he
learned so rapidly and displayed
such good judgment in advising
top management he was elected
a Director in 1952. In 1955, he
took over as Chairman when
Benjamin F. Fairleaa retired at
65.
Says he was lucky
‘’I'd say I was pretty lucky,”
Blough admits. “ I cant recall
any serious reverses. There are
times when you seem to be tread
ing water-not going too fast.
But you are learning all the time.
“I don’t want to sound polly-
anna-isb, but I ’ve enjoyed all the
jobs I ever held, back as fa r as
the days when I was teaching
school. There is lots of satisfac
tion in doing any job well.”

But it font lock alone that

sations. He has to know what la
going on in the world.
One of the architects of U. S.
Steel's reorganisation and ex
pansion, he is well versed in the
intimate facts of American busi
ness. His mind la capacious and
fact-ftlled. His modest, careful
•ft
poriant talents. His strength
his thoroughness and ability in
analysing problems.
“ He's a hard man to knoto,”
a close friend once said. “ But
ones you get to know him he
wears like steel.”

Lives in New York
Blough lives in New York, is
married and has twin daughters
attending college. Although he
likes to play golf and swim, his
hobby is just plain “work.”
“I ’m just an ordinary guy,” he
says. “1 like to work hard and 1
like to relax. I go to bed early
and get up early. On weekends
I go home to Hawley and plant a
tree or a flower in my yard.”
Blough is optimistic about
America’s future. “I think this
is the best ttme ever to be
young," he maintains. "The in
dustrial and business trend is
upward. Our organization, for
example, has expanded research
fivefold in the past 15 years. Yet
we are only beginning.
“Yes, it’s a great period for
youth,” concludes this former
schoolteacher, who keeps a con
stant eye open for young talent
to stock his Corporation for the
future.
