Carroll Da rty, chairman of the Fact-Finding-Board, struck the words from the record, and said: “We are here to hear thé facts In an unemotional way.” Mr. Murray had a He was talking for the benefit of

granted Aug. 2, was 3.7%. All these have been in response to higher costs of raw materials, supplies, and wages. Yet earnings are not increasing. Rather, the railroads are barely holding their own financially, Such a chase of wages and costs and prices can be endless. The higher freight rates will enter the cost structure of coal and iron ore, which in turn will boost production costs of steel, and so on. The latest freight boost is not enough to force a rise in steel prices. But if on top of it, wages g0 up, then a price rise might be unavoidable—despite assertions in the Robert R. Nathan report. The Steel Fact-Finders have a great responsibility—just as h Homer said. They will decide not only the wage level in steel, but in other industries. Walter Reu.ther’s United Auto Workers ahd
