...drive home the point, Arnall turned down a request by Weirton Steel Co., which has already granted a boost of 16? an hour to its nonstriking independent union, for any increase bigger than the $2.84 the company was entitled to (even before the wage boost) under the Capehart amendment. Said Arnall: This "definitely and completely repudiates, withdraws or reverses" any previous Government promise to the industry. To newsmen, trying to keep up with the giddy on-again, off-again Government offers, Arnall said: "It is rather confusing...
...announcement of what went on, but the gossip was that the trip was well worthwhile. Over the objections of other administration aides, Steelman was reportedly ready to grant a $5.20-a-ton price increase.

Private rates would be slightly higher than the Government's, but only because the companies would pay $23 million a year in municipal, state and federal...
...would give the Government-operated plants a price rise? Not if Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall could call the tune. Georgian Arnall lashed out at the companies for their insistence that the WSB benefits would add $12 a ton to production costs. Steel could have a price boost under the Capehart Amendment of $3 a ton, he declared, but no more. "I'm not going to any Munich ... If the price of peace is surrender and a steel price increase, we're not going to have peace . . ." The companies struck back with full-page newspaper ads, and denounced Arnall...
