frozen prices and wages, established
credit controls which really would

who were willing to profiteer at the

“In the Johnson subcommittee of

opportunity has been afforded to look

The profits are
much higher than they were at the
height of World War II. I say that

You will note that Kaiser is the
only steel company that did not in-
crease its profits. Several more com-
panics not listed here show profits
have doubied and in some cases multi
plied ten times. Is there any reason
then that Big Steel must raise its
prices in order to pay increased wages
to its men?
* ♦ ♦
When Senator Morse discussed the
profits of the steel companies this is
what he had to say: ", . . . prepare
to weep, for you should feel sorry for
these steel companies. They are mak
ing tremendous sacrifices for their
country in the midst of a war; they
are bleeding economically for the boys
who are dying in Korea -in fact, in
1951 they did so to the tune of at
least $596,000,000 of profits, after
taxes, including excess-profits taxes.
Mr. Randall forgot to tell the Amer
ican people that.”
"But it takes a lot of brass to prop
agandize the American people about
the need for a $12-a-ton increase in
price, when in 1951 profits after taxes
were in the neighborhood of $596,-
000.000."

Where is the patriotism of Big Steel
when you see the thousands of dollars
it spends on full nage advertising and
radio time to beat down the working
men and rob the consumer with higher
prices?
