I I I I I A WILKES-BARRE RECORD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1989 Scrap Scarcity May Close Mill Lukens Company Announces Price Increase of $5 Per Ton Coatesville, Sept. 26-SkyrocketIng prices for iron and steel scrap due to scarcity of this basic ingredient of steel-making are causing ducing alarming costs. And increases a rise in steel-pro- the in price of finished steel products. Lukens Steel Company of Coatesville, employing 3,000 persons and having an annual capacity of 000 tons of finished steel plates and other steel products, today announced a price increase of $5 per ton from January, 1934, to August, 1939, steel men pointed out, 000 gross tons of iron and steel scrap have been exported from the United States, of which nearly 000,000 gross tons went to Japan and and Italy, this unprecedented serious drain on the domestic reservoir of scrap has produced an actual scarcity at many points throughout the country, with resulting high prices for the essential steel-making commodity. At Eastern-producing and consuming points, iron and steel scrap is currently quoted at $7 to $10 per ton higher than a month ago, at a price higher than in the peak steelproducing months of 1937.

If the rate to of scrap exportation continues, steel men contend that many small steel companies and foundries scattered through the country, unable to obtain adequate scrap supplies, will be forced to close down, with loss of employment to their labor and to the detriment of the nation's rearmament program. In making the announcement of the increase in finished steel prices, Robert Wolcott, president of Lukens Steel Company, said: "Our costa will be more than $5 per ton higher than a month ago, due to the rise in price of raw materials, particularly iron and steel scrap, unlike the large, integrated steel companies, steel concerns like Lukens, as well as thousands of foundries throughout the country, do not own or control their own iron mines, blast furnaces and other sources of raw materials, and are therefore wholly dependent scrap. Non-integrated steel companies and foundries are completely at the mercy of the present market in scrap, brought about largely by abnormal exportation in recent years, our present stock of scrap will soon be consumed in filling orders on hand and present commitments for our customers, we are now faced with the necessity of replacing our stock of scrap at prices from $7 to ton higher than a month ago." per Truck Driver Is Liberated Joseph Pekot of Nantico*ke Is Found Not Guilty. in Death of Child Judge John J.
