have misgivings concerning what
effect this settlement will have
upon the inflationary spiral which
threatens so much disaster to our
economy. Moreover, I have mis

STEEL SETTLEMENT MADE
IN SECRET. The steel settlement
was made in secret. We have no
knowledge of what transpired in
the meetings which resulted in the
settlement. Only these three signi
ficant facts have been revealed
in respect to it:
1. After insisting the demands
of the big steel union for many
months cm the ground that they
were inherently inflationary, the
big steel companies suddenly sur
rendered and agreed to substan
tial increases in wages and fringe
benefits, most of which are to take
effect after the general election in
November, 1690.
2. Credit for bringing about the
settlement is being given to two
of .the moot politically-minded men
id America: The Vice-President
and the Secretary of Labor.
3. Hie public is assured that the
companies have agreed not to in
crease the pfieesof steel products
