HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls. Ore Friday, July 24. 1953 PAGE 5 A Industry Ability Doubted By Steel Board Chairman NEW YORK i API Can the teel industry stop wage-price in flation in America? Roger Blough, the industry's toi leader as board chairman of United Stales Steel Corp., is du bious. But he says it's sure worth real attempt. "You never know until you try Blough said in an exclusive inter view with The Associated Press "We think some good will come of it." Blough relaxed easily as he dis cussed issues in the nine-day sleel strike with a reporter, at his cor poration's plush skyscraper offi ces in New York's financial dis tiict. He wore conservative blue and spoke softly with sureness and with feeling. "I don't think any one company or industry can do this job of stemming inflation," he said. He noted that other industries have been granting hefty wage .boosts this year. But he voiced a hope that "de pending upon the outcome of our stand" in steel, other employers will lend a hand in resisting inflation. The bargaining stalemate that led to the steel strike is rooted in the industry's position that it won't give up any new wage and bene fit increases to members of the United Steelworkcrs unless there are offsetting labor cost savings Asked if the steel industry in tends to maintain that stand, Blough said, "That certainly is our purpose." "I believe the country under stands the problem of inflation better than it did 10 years ago. or even two or three years ago." he said. "More people are interest ed in doing something about it." Blough said it wasn't a matter of freezing wages throughout the nation. What steel wants stopped, he said, is the constant increase In employment costs the indus try's total labor bill. There's a difference, he said At U.S. Steel, for example, indi vidual employes have a chance to increase their earnings through incentive payments and promo tions to be'ter jobs. Have President Eisenhower's re peated entreaties against inflation to the nation generally and to the sleel industry in particular had a part in the present steel industry stand? "I believe our position is in rea sonable conformity with the Pres ident's views and those of mil lions of citizens," he replied. How about a steel price cut if steel labor costs are stabilized? "We're not considering any at the moment," Blough said. "We're concentrating now on achieving a reasonable negotiations result that won't result in employment cost increases." The interviewer was curious how Blough could go along with a fat steel labor settlement in 1056 the last negotiations yet is balking at anything like that now. "I think the steel industry feels it was a very expensive contract," he said. .Blough figures the 19.Vi con tract meant an ultimate 81-cent ner-nour lahor cost increase, or a raise of about $1,600 per steel worker over a three-year period. The union figures the cost at much less and has offered in vain to settle again on the 1956 increase basis.
