Good Sports. The vanguard of earnings from the nation's struck steel companies confirmed estimates that steel had had a record half-year. Inland Steel doubled its earnings for the half to $2.43 a share, but was outshone by the performance of other reporting companies. Allegheny Ludlum raised its half-year profit 802% to a record $3.20 a share, Jones & Laughlin hiked profits 642% to a record $5.31 a share, and Crucible Steel ran up a new record with earnings of $2.22.

First a church, then a monastery was built near the peak...

Everyone in the industry feels that foreign steel is a growing menace." Roger Blough has strong ideas about how that menace can be stopped. Says he: "A fundamental law of business is 'compete or die.'
