Shortly after V-J Day, the United Steelworkers of
■America-CIO demanded of eleven subsidiaries of U. S.
Steel ri general wage increase of $2 a day (or 25 cents
an hour), retroactive to August 18, 1945, stating that this
demand was not subject to "dickering or compromise,"
'After several days of discussion, XL S. Steel informed the
'Union on October 23, 1945, that no wage increase was
-possible until OP A permitted increases in the' ceiling
prices for steel products—price relief to which the steel
industry had long been entitled under the Emergency
Price Control Act of 1942 by reason of past heavy increases in costs.
Steel prices had been frozen by the
Government substantially at pre-warlevels.

The steel strike became effective on January 21, 1946,
and continued for four weeks. A settlement of the strike
was made possible on February 15, 1946, by the Government's action in authorizing an increase of $5 a ton
pr*c®s for carbon and alloy steel.mill
products.. The Government also announced a new governmental wage-price policy for industry in general. •
U. S. Steel granted a wage increase of .18% cents an
hour to its steelworkers. ^ A compromise was reached
on the effective date of this wage increase.
The full'
amount of the increase became effective upon the return
of the men to work. Hourly employes who worked between January 1, 1946, and the time of the termination
of the strike received an increase of 914 cents an hour;;:
.for hours actually worked during this period.
In an endeavor to secure industrial peace for a year,

Price control in peacetime is a simple denial to
customers of their right to bring about and to support
production of the goods and services they want. Volun¬
tary and competitive buying and selling Constitute the
only proven way for buyers continuously to let sellers
know what they want and so to bring about a balanced
production and exchange of the most wanted goods and
services. The maximum production of wanted
goods can
only be induced by the price that people voluntarily
will pay—that is the maximum
price.
It is also .the
minimum price that will result in the production of the

fied into common stock (par 33 cents each) which resulted in there

1946, the corporation commenced to package and sell the
first of a complete line of cleaning agents made of chemical compounds
which -will be marketed nation-wide in a distinctive package already de¬
signed and being manufactured for the corporation.
The products
which the corporation intends to market and each one of which consti¬
tutes a conipound of chemicals believed to be particularly efficacious
for specific purposes, particularly in the household cleaning field, are:
''Sing," a general "household" cleaner for washing dishes, woodwork,
walls and floors; etc.; "Indra," specially developed for laundry home
washing machines; "Thororlnse," a clothes whitener and neutralizing
compound to insure thorough rinsing. In addition, it is contemplated
that the corporation will introduce in the near future a product de¬
signed for home type dish washing machines, a product for washing

in his review of the year, Mr. Olds said that U. S. Steel's rate of
steel
operations, which had been at near full capacity throughout
the
war
period,
declined with the end of hostilities in both war
theatres,
with the result that finished
steel shipped during 1945,
amounted to 18.4 million tons, or 2.6 million tons less than the alltime record, in 1944.
Production of ingots and castings by U. S. Steel
between Jan. 1, 1940, and the surrender of Japan reached a staggering
total of 161.1 million tons, as compared with 99.7 million tons during
the five years 1914 to 1918.
U.
S.
Steel's revenue from the sale of products and
services in
1945 was $1,747,338,661, or 16.1%
less than the revenue of $2,082,186,895 in 1944.
Income of U. S. Steel Corp. and subsidiaries was
$58,015,056 in 1945, a decrease of $2,776,225 or 4.6 % from the income
of $60,791,281 in the preceding year.
Receipts from- customers hi 1945 fell $2,017,629 'short of being
adequate to cover mounting cost? and to meet the same dividend
payments to stockholders which have been paid in recent years, Mr.
Olds
said.
He added
that the deficiency was made good out of
money previously set aside for future needs.
Citing employee cooperation as one of the contributing factors in
U. S. Steel's war production achievement, Mr.»01ds called for continued
cooperation between employees and management.
