Last week NRA released a steel study showing that U. S. steel now owns less than 40% of the nation's ingot capacity as against 45% 15 years ago. Its capacity was expanded 21% in that period but additions to other companies ranged from 49% for Bethlehem to 890% for Otis Steel. Some of the individual gains were the result of mergers but fact remains that smaller, more flexible units have the advantage over brontosaurian U. S. Steel...
This time there was justification for an undercurrent of hope: electric power production and steel ingot production were up, automobile prospects were rosy (see p. 62). But the New York Times, which has practically ceased gathering New Year forecasts from businessmen, commented: ''Never before within the memory of Wall Street veterans have prophetic efforts been so lightly regarded...
...light of such factors as reliability, seasonal variations, money, politics. In an industry like steel, for which no inventory figures are available, the wobbles of thick, black chart lines tell the story. The supply index is based on the American Iron & Steel Institute's published statistics of ingot production. The demand index, which anticipates the trend of actual consumption up to three months, is calculated on figures from steel's customers-automobiles, railroads, building, oil.

...Only last week Donald B. Gillies (Corrigan-McKinney Steel) told the American Mining Congress that his industry "whole-heartedly approves the President's Recovery program." Steelman Weir was himself one of the first to fall in line last summer. But so long as U. S. steelmasters have an ingot to their names they will resist detested outside (A. F. of L.) unionization of their business. On this issue Founder Weir gave battle. In Washington last October, it was agreed between Weirton Steel and the heads of its Employes Organization and the NRA's Labor Board that Weirton...
