...hand, it used the due-process clause to protect property rights by striking down state economic regulation. On the other, it backed away from using the same clause to bring state criminal-law procedures up to Bill of Rights standards. In the 1942 case of Belts v.

The industry made a 7.2% return on its net worth last year v. an 11.5% return for U.S. manufacturers as a whole, and demand for steel has grown so strong that there are shortages and long delivery lags for some kinds. All the steelmen have to do now is convince Lyndon Johnson, who two months ago took note of the steel industry's rising profits and diminishing costs, and warned of the effect that a general steel-price increase would have on price stability...
