The prime reason is that steel-industry demand and employment remains strong, and steelworkers have been protected against the erosion in buying power that afflicted most other wage earners in 1974 by the cost of living escalators they won in their union contracts early last year. Says Lawrence Finley, a local Gimbel's executive: "Psychologically, the attitude here is bullish. Even the Steelers are winning...
...deal, ended the most extravagant bidding war in baseball history. The financial fireworks were set off three weeks ago when an arbitration panel ruled that Hunter, who won 25 games and the Cy Young Award in 1974, was a free agent. The reason: A's Owner Charles O.

Game No. 2 gave the Dodgers a chance to recover, and Los Angeles Rightfielder Joe Ferguson provided the power with a two-run homer. When Finley tried to fight back with Herb Washington, the inexperienced sprinter whom he hired this year as unofficial designated runner, Dodger Relief Ace Mike Marshall easily picked Washington off first base...
