The recent $6-per-ton boost, said he, was far more than was needed to cover increased labor costs. But the American Iron & Steel Institute figures that while higher prices will yield an additional $200,000,000, wages will be up $130,000,000; raw materials $85,000,000, leaving the industry $15,000,000 the worse.
