25. Steel prices will go up S6 to S10 a ton and steelworkers will get wage and fringe benefits totaling to 18 cents an hour, The Iron Age, metalworking trade weekly said today.

This, it said, "will take care of raw material advance, labor increase (including white collar workers), uneconomical production due to defense orders and expansion cost, most of which has to come from profits." Of materials, The Iron Age said "Prices on equipfent, scrap, copper, tin, zinc, paper, lumber, pig iron, coal, "wages, oil and red tape are up considerably in the past ten months." Steel labor, the trade weekly said, "will get an average of 12 to 13 cents an hour raise in base rates and an additional 5 cents in fringe concessions making a total of about to 18 cents an hour. Fringe concessions will include changes in holidays, vacations, job classifications and pensions." Unless something entirely unforeseen occurs, the publication added, this price-wage change in steel will happen soon.

Lucas By Associated Prtat CHICAGO, Oct. 25 Senator Lucas (D-lll.) has hit back at ehnrges of administration bungling. Lucas is ill with a cold, but Gov. Adlal E. Stevenson pinch hit for him in Lucas' campaign for reelection yesterday.

Stevenson read a speech which Lucas had prepared for delivery before the Chicago Junior Association of Commerce and Industry. The speech recalled the depression days of the 1930s. "Many of us have forgotten how American businessmen pleaded with President Roosevelt to act boldly to save the American enterprise system from complete destruction." "Mobs of hungry men walked the streets in those days." He said the Communists polled more than 100,000 votes In the 1932 election, and "Communist agitators were running wild through this nation, stirring up riot and rebellion." He said Cook county retail sales are up from $1,110,000,000 in 1932 to $5,066,000,000 in 1948. It Is true'the value of the dollar has declined, Lucas said, but in the early moYiths of 1933 "there were 16,000,000 unemployed men who did not have any dollars at all." When the 81st Congress passed nearly half of the Hoover Commission recommendations it Inaugurated the most sweeping movement toward economy and efficiency ever experienced by the government in American history, he said. Lucas added: "All the political outcries about bungling, about confusion and Communism are raised by people who are trying desperately to gain public offices, by fair means or foul.

These people rely on lung power to convince you of their statesmanship. I rely upon facts."
