...tons), came to terms with the union. It agreed to a modified union shop (new employees must join the union but can quit within the first month) plus an increase of 12½? an hour, v. 15? recommended by WSB.

...Weir's new plant will be only 35 miles downriver from the new 1,800,000-ton capacity Fairless Works which U.S. Steel will build. The steelmen were taking advantage of quick, five-year write-offs of the new plants under the Defense Production Act, thus using cash that would otherwise be paid in taxes. By week's end, the National Security Resources Board had granted such write-offs on $1,200,000,000 in new steel plants.
