fine edges, oil quen ch ing is recom m ended.
M a n y p neu m atic tools such as chisel blanks are

to harden the striking end. A s a shank treatm ent it is

N ISSUING its 360-word statement of policy
in regard to the attempt of CIO to unionize
its employes, the steel industry has com m it­
ted itself to an extensive employe and public
relations campaign. If steel executives are to
capitalize fu lly upon the initial effect of the
news release o f last M onday and the full-page
newspaper advertisements o f W ednesday, they
must fo llo w through systematically and effec­
tively. This means that the open shop side of
the labor question must be set forth clearly,
with frequent reiteration o f important points
and in sufficient detail to register convincingly
in the court o f public opinion.

' The in dustry’s maiden effort at publicity in
this cam paign aroused a curious mixture o f re­
actions am ong industrialists and publicists.
Some em ployers feel that it was

A l­

are issuing individual state­
ments (p. 18) that are more
drastic than that put out through the institute.
Y et some astute newspapermen think the initial
statement was too cold and hard-boiled. They
believe that more emphasis should be placed
upon the defensive position of em ployers—
that they are forced to defend the rights of
their employes. Their point is that the public
usually sympathizes with the under-dog, sel­
dom with the aggressor.
♦
♦
♦
The under-dog in this situation is the em ploye
who does not care to join a professional union.
U nfortunately the public does not know this.

has an annual capacity of 600,000 tons of hotrolled material, of which 360,000 tons can be
converted into cold-rolled, full-finished p rod­

and Future
W h at is the future o f bessem er steel? Is direct reduc­
tion o f iron ore feasible on a c o m m ercia l basis?
Dr. A lbert Sauveur answers these questions in
an article (p. 38) in which he not only
reminisces interestingly on past progress in
ferrous m etallurgy, but also ventures personal
opinions as to the direction o f future dev elo p ­
ments. He believes bessem er steel will be pro­
duced in larger proportions in the future. He
is not very enthusiastic about the com m ercia l
success o f direct reduction. He thinks indus­
try has broad opportunities in the further de­
velopm ent o f alloy steels. It is a stim ulating
resume o f progress.

Our customers after 39 years of experience
take it for granted that they get good strip
steel from West Leechburg — they are not
disappointed —promises are kept and quality
is assured. N oth in g exceptional is offered
them, just day-in-and-day-out service that
leaves them free to worry [if they must] about
other things rather than strip steel. W ill

P ublic Relations Becomes
Industry’s N o . 1 Job
AST M onday the steel industry issued a
statement in regard to its labor policy. The
gist o f the announcem ent appeared in the
last sentence, which read as fo llow s:
“ The steel industry will use its resources to
the best o f its ability to protect its em ployes and
their fam ilies from intimidation, coercion and
violence and to aid them in m aintaining co lle c ­
tive bargaining free from interference from any
sou rce.”
The m anner in which the public press handled
this release was significant. Most o f the n ew s­
papers which m ake an honest effort to present
the news im partially carried the statement in
full and provided an appropriate b a ck grou nd of
collateral inform ation. Some others, which h a­
bitually color the news to fav o r the professional
unions, placed undue emphasis upon what they
interpreted as a belligerent note in the an­
nouncement. A few o f the more prejudiced pub­
lications went so far as to visualize a pitched
battle between the “ p o w e r fu l” $5,000,000,000
steel industry and the “ p o o r” CIO with its o r ­
ganization fund o f $500,000. It is likely that
m any citizens, blindly accepting the interpreta­
tion volunteered by certain newspapers, gained
the impression that the “ steel baron s” (a pet
phrase am ong anti-industrialists) are launching
an offensive against the CIO.
L
Industry Must W in Understanding of Press
If It Is To Get Its Message Over To Public
This, of course, is a badly distorted interpre­
tation. In fact, it is a tim ely warnin g to em ­
ployers and em ployes in the steel industry that
the prejudiced and u nfriendly attitude o f part
of the fourth estate is an im portant factor to be
reckoned with in the forth com in g rivalry for the
fav o r of the general public. It means that the
steel industry, n ow having launched a public
relations campaign, henceforth not only must
match wits with the clever and experienced
propagandists of the professional labor union
bloc, but also must contend with the unsym ­
pathetic attitude o f certain purveyors o f news
and m oulders o f public opinion.
T h erefore it is important that the industry
utilize every resource within its pow er to a c­
quaint the public with the true facts o f the situ­
ation. It will be necessary to indulge in straight­
J u l y 6, 1 9 36
forw ard tactics to prove to the m an in the street
that the industry is fighting defensively against
a m ovem ent that threatens the very foundation
o f personal liberty.
It is not enough to say
“ E m ploym ent in the industry does not depend
upon membership or non-m em bership in any o r ­
ganization.
A dvancem ent depends upon indi­
vidual merit and effort. These are fundam ental
Am erican principles to which the industry will
steadfastly adhere.”
These are clear statements o f principle, and
they are sincere and pertinent. But they must
be amplified and reiterated time and time again
before the average citizen will appreciate the
justice o f the indu stry’s position. S teel’s public
relations cam paign must be g ood enough to
m ake up for years o f inaction, com placen cy and
ill-advised neglect o f the p u blic’s interest.
Employers Have Good Arguments That Never
Have Been Presented To Public Ellectively
A n e ncou raging feature o f the approaching
contest o f skill in public relations lies in the
fact that industry, never having pressed its ad ­
vantage aggressively, today finds itself with un­
told resources in logic which never have been
driven hom e to the public effectively.
F or instance, how m any persons in a crowd
on Times Square, New Y o r k ; State street, Chi­
cago; Independence Square, Philadelphia; or
Fifth avenue and Smithfield street, Pittsburgh;
realize that only one out of ten persons in gain­
fu lly em ployed occupations in industry is a
m em ber o f a professional labor union?
H ow
many laym en kn ow that under the present al­
liance o f new deal politicians and professional
laborites a m ere 5 per cent m inority o f pro-union
em ployes can tie up a plant in which 95 per
cent of the w ork ers want to be free of labor
union rack eteerin g ?
H ow m any ordinary citi­
zens realize that a large num ber o f union cards
are taken out by terrorized w ork ers w ho are
willing to pay dues to escape the “ in conv en ien ce”
o f bom bings, beatings and other form s o f in­
tim idation visited upon non-union em ployes by
over-zealous organizers and agitators?
How
m any heavily burdened tax payers k n ow the ex­
tent to which their servants in congress in
W ashington are coerced by union labor pressure
into voting fa v o ra b ly on union-dictated legisla­
tion?
The truth re g a rd in g these questions should
be set forth in a ca r e fu lly planned publicity
campaign.
Steel has a trem en dou s responsi­
bility to the A m erican public, but in it is a g o l d ­
en opportunity to preserve im portant human
liberties!

exceeded 100,000 cars w eek ly was broken. This
is by far the best sustained run o f high p rod u c­

1929.
Only eight 100,000-car weeks w ere rec o id c d in all o f 1935, and there were none in

at 718,344 cars. This is the best traffic week
thus far in 1936.
A nother high mark for the current year was
established by the steelw ork s operating rate
which touched 71.5 per cent.
This tops the
previous high o f 70.5 recorded in the third week
of April.
E lectric pow er output, having made a new
all-tim e record in the previous week, topped it
in the week ending June 27 with a reported total
o f 2,029 639,000 kilowatt-hours. To a p p red a te
the real progress made in the consum ption of
electricity, it is appropriate to com pare the cur­
rent figure with the total o f 1,723,000,000 kilo?

0 -D R O S S REDUCTION
□ • — HIGHER QUALITY
Recent installations of Kemp immersion heating
on tin pots, where unusually accurate records of
performance have been kept, show a truly re­
markable profit resulting from reduction in dross
formation.
Even though your existing pots are under tem­
perature regulation, the exclusive Kemp process
of applying heat internally will effect a reduction
in dross expense which will pay phenomenal re­
turn on the required investment.
For further details write The C. M. Kem p M fg.

T h i s is
the inside
surface of
ELECTRUNITE
Boiler Tub
D on ’ t you wish that you could crawl through every boiler tube you u se...th at you,
personally, could check every inch o f the inside surface for defects, for scabs, slivers
and rolled-in scale?
W ell, you can’t crawl through a boiler t u b e ... and even if you could, it w ould be
a waste o f time with ELECTRUNITE Boiler Tubes.
L ook at the photographs above. Those tw o men are Y O U R inspectors. As the flatrolled steel— which has been pickled free from scale and thoroughly inspected
on both sides at the m ill— passes through the cold form ing rolls, every square
inch o f the inside surface must pass their eyes. And they can see the steel
up to the time it becom es a form ed tube ready for electric resistance w eld­
ing. N o defect o f the inside surface gets by these watchmen o f quality.
Cold form ing, electric resistance w elding, bright annealing, thorough
inspection. .. all com bine to produce uniform, dependable, safe tubes
that cut installation costs and add years o f life to any boiler.
I f you want to eliminate boiler tube troubles, use
ELECTRUNITE. W rite

Sherwin-Williams railway finishes are used
on the new "Mercury" . . . inside and out.
From the time the Mercury was just a smart
idea in the minds of New York Central offi­

were "on the job". They developed the new

they worked hand-in-hand with the New York

l i a r P r ic e s , P a g e 78
Pittsburgh— Certain
m inor
test
has been given to the new 1.95c,
Pittsburgh, m arket on m erchant steel
bars by sm all sales over the latter
pa rt o f last w eek.
These have a f­
fected consum ers w ho had not placed
ord ers prior to June 30 for shipm ent
a t the form er 1.85c m arket. In the
m eantim e, bar shipm ents are sched­
uled for a g ood show ing in July, but
apparently this w ill take care o f
only the norm al requirem ents o f con ­
sumers as there have been few in­
stances o f speculative stocking. The
alloy bar m arket is now quoted 2.55c
and is aw aiting expected autom otive
participation in som e tonnage for
1937 models.
Cleveland— B acklogs are heavy,
but in m ost cases they w ill be off
the books by Aug. 1. A uto partsmakers and farm equipm ent manu­
factu rer's purchases are expected to
remain quiet fo r the next 30 days.
June tonnage is reported by som e
m ills to be the best since 19 30. Speci­
fications o f road-m aking equipm ent,
and nut and bolt m anufacturers are
strong. Second quarter books were
closed a w eek in advance to perm it
a leew ay for early shipm ents on o r ­
ders placed at the advance prices.
Chicago— Bar sales have dropped
sharply since the opening of the new
quarter and application o f higher
prices.
Producers w ill be able to
continue heavy production through
m ost o f July, how ever. W arehouses
and cold-bar finishers w ere active be­
fore the end o f June in bar pur­
chases, though m ost consum ers have
entered fairly liberal specifications
for early shipment. Som e farm im ­
plem ent plants have closed fo r in­
ventory but average operations are
at a g ood level for this period, w hile
tractor builders in m ost cases still
are running at capacity. Bars now
are quoted 2.00c fo r billet m aterial,
1.85c for rail steel and 1.85c, T erre
Haute, Ind., and 1.90c, Chicago, for
bar iron.
New Y o rk — F ollow in g active buy­
in g o f com m ercial and hot alloy bars
on w hich a ?2 advance becam e effec­
tive ‘July 1, contracting has been
much slower.
H ow ever, m ills are
w ell booked ahead.
P h i l a d e l p h i a — Eastern bar sellers
are obligated further ahead than at
an y time in m any months, with clos­
in g days o f June witnessing substan­
tial m iscellaneous buying against im­
pending third quarter price advance
o f $2 per ton on com m ercial and hot
alloy bars and $3 on cold-finished
bars.

FLO O R PLATE
No Floor Plate can be »aid to offer adequate protection unless it affords
a safe, non-slip surface from every direction . . . plus an even trucking
surface.
No other pattern has quite the advantages of the “ perfect Diamond."
The flat top and clean-cut edges of the N EVERSLIP Diamond projec­
tions grip and hold . . . yet are so designed as to permit free passage
of truck wheels.
Too, the arrangement of the Diamonds permits unobstructed drainage
and easy cleaning.
Used throughout Industry for 35 years.
