WASHINGTON (AP) - Striking sleelworkers and the steel indus try both claimed today that a new government report bolsters their positions. Maintaining its hands off policy in the 37 day old steel strike, the government Wednesday released figures showing that steel profits. prices and wages have been going up for years. Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell made public the 4.000- word background report on the steel dispute. He said neither side has been doing any intensive bar gaining and urged greater ellorts until a settlement is reached. But Mitchell declined to make any recommendations on where there should be some backing down in the deadlocked negotia tionsand which side should do the retreating. "There are ' no conclusions drawn (from the reporO," he said The responsibility for a settle mcnt of the strike rests upon man agement and labor." However, he made it clear that the public has an interest in the dispute which each week is cost ing 300 million dollars worth of production and 70 million dollars in wages. - Mitchell told several hundred newsmen at a news conference that the effect of the strike so far has not been serious from a na tional standpoint. Management and union spokes men lost no time in commenting on Mitchell's report. K. Conrad Cooper, chief nego tiator for the steel industry, said the report shows steel wages have put steelworkers "at the top of the list." Increases in employ ment costs have exceeded incrcas es in output per man hour, Cooper said, thereby forcing up steel prices. He said the increase of output per man hour in steel was lower than in the national economy as a whole. Cooper said the report "shows also that steel profits as a return investment have consistent ly lagged behind those in other in dustries even before taking ac count of' the necessity for making up large deficiencies in deprecia tion allowances." David J. McDonald, . United Steelworkers president, said Mitchell's report "presents a post the contribution to acquaint the American people with the facts of the tremendous productivity rec ord achieved in the steel industry and the overwhelming ability the steel industry to share a por tion of such gains with the public industry workers and stockholders uf the industry. "It documents - the soundness and equity of the position ol the steelworkers union in the vontro- ersy with the steel industry." Negotiations still are under way in New York, but there have been no indications of progress. Primary sections of Mitchell's vport included: Profits: In 19.V5. 19S6 and 195' nmbined, the 20 largest steel ompanies had a rale of return net worth of 12.8 per cent compared to 14 7 per cent for the nation's 25 largest industrial lirms. The steel companies in- reased their rate of return in the irst halt this year. During the postwar period, steel industry. 1959 profits after taxes per dollar of ales have been higher than the comparable ratio lor all manu facturing. The difference has been widening since 1944. Prices: Basic steel products' prices are at peak levels, bteel prices have risen higher and fast er than wholesale prices in gen eral 4tnd much more than retail prices. Comparing the first half of 1959 with the 1440 average, prices of all commodities at wholesale advanced by 1:14 per cent. The consumer price index rose 107 per cent in the same period, in con trast with the 178 per cent rise for steel. Wages: Gross hourly earnings in steel rose $1.43, or by 85 per cent, from January 1950 to May Real hourly earnings rose by 50 per cent. From January 1950 to this summer, steel wages as a whole rose by greater per centages and by greater absolut. amounts than in most of the economy. Hourly earnings in' the steel industry t bis May averaged $3.10 compared with $2.23 in manu facturing as a whole.
