As long as we're going to fire

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

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
