Strike’s Results
Will Be Appearing
For Some Time
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK, lift—The . costs of
the just ended steel strike are
likely to keep poppin' to the sur
face for some time to come.
The rising price of steel and
the new wage scale pattern will
plant some time bombs with de
layed effects on the economy.
Businessmen will notice them
fiirst in increased operation costs.
Consumers may see them later
in higher prices—if competition
permits manufacturers to pass
along all or part of the higher
costs.
One educated guess, for exam
ple, is the expected steel price
will add $40 to $60 to the cost of
making a 1957 model car.
These hidden effects, coming
to light little by little, won’t be
noted at first in the flurry to re
open the steel mills and catch up
on unfilled orders, and in the ex
pected rush of steel customers to
place orders to refill their de
pleted pipelines.
If this develops, as many antici
pate, it is likely to give the econ
omy an apparent glow of health
for the rest of the year. But some
of the glow will toe inflationary in
nature—and the health question
able.
The costs will be there, either
way.
