Two pertinent per-tinent questions were asked in a suggested outline for a reply. One of these was "What econom ic factors will effect the utiliza tion of the additional productive capacity for steel created by war plants ana xaeiuucs. This question brought ' forth considerable information, probably prob-ably the most pertinent of which la that a greatly increasedk'steel demand is anticipated. In the far west ana in tne south. This augers well for the Geneva plant if necessary freight rate and other adjustments can be made.. Most of the companies hedged en the inquiry as to what special nromams exist in connection with utilization of new plants In new areas, whicn is certainly the truth as far as the Geneva plant is concerned, the only other steel operation of consequence being the considerable smaller output of the Columbia steel plant, also near provo, The companies all Strongly em phasized the need for a plant-by- piant study rather than attempt ing to develop any overall pat tern. Considerable Importance was attached to whether or not the estimated post-war market can be reached competitively by other steel plants. For example, the Pacific Tube company pointed point-ed .to a basic difficult that western west-ern fabricators face In meeting competitition of easteren steel manufacturers. The eastern firms will quote approximately the same price for steel products delivered anywhere any-where from Seattle to San Diego. A west coast manufacturer is required to buy bis basic products from tne east and pay thereon the same amount of freight as would be paid for the finished product if sold on the west coast by the eastern manufacturer plus the cost of shipment from his own plant to the marketing out let Base-Point Method Another manufacturer. Inland Steel, held out for the base-point method of pricing as it presently exists, asserting that any change over to 'a non-basing point method meth-od of pricing would create serious seri-ous dislocation within the indus try and in the national economy. There are. of course, those ob servers who will endorse this changeover as beneficial to the west and to the industry as a whole, just as Henry J. Kaiser's entrance into the cement Indus try broke the strangle hold "old established pricing method" had in that field. Kaiser, incidentally, la reported by the committee to be one or tnree corporations seek ing to negotiate for the plana The others are United States Steel corporation, a subsidiary of which presently operates the plant for the government and thj Colorado Fuel and Iron corpo; tion from. tne eastern slope o: Rockies. casting a shadow over tae en tire proceedings as well as the future development of the industrial indus-trial west is the recent supreme court decision agreeing to consider con-sider a petition by the state of Georgia to enjoin all alleged rail rate fixing combination. Georgia's fiery governor Arnall has charged charg-ed that this combination has kept a strangle hold on southern in dustrial development to the ben efit ot the northeastern section of the country and the same holds true to a certain degree in the west For this reason, approximately ou railroads were invtteo to advise ad-vise the committee of their views. Most of the roads trod a cautious. middle-of-the -road path that the place of rail rates could be decided decid-ed only when specific informa-tion informa-tion as to the purposes to which NOW LAYING ; tt ca ct nca s somi m 11 S IntUvWdal plantj' tni fadlltiet rs to M ttsja. rortnrignt wi tiam Jeffers of the Union Pacific wired that m a plant should pass to private operation, "then the freight rates can ha negotiated but not as a condition precedent to sale or disposal of such plant' New Distribution The Denver and Elo Grande Western pointed out that the building of new war plants was spread throughout the country apparently for strategic rather than economic or commercial reasons and this, in turn, has brought about a different distribution dis-tribution of traffic than existed oeiore uic war. - I It is a matter of speculation, the D & R C. W. points out, whether reconversion of industrial plants to normal peacetime pursuits will continue this dislocation of normal nor-mal traffic flow. Most of the eastern roads, understandably, un-derstandably, expressed a xear that their own industrial empire is threatened, the Central railroad rail-road of New Jersey pointing out that privately owned steel plants which were in existence prior to the war were built up primarily with relation to the then-existing levels of transportation costs, so that the life and death of these privately owned plants is dependent depend-ent upon a delicately adjusted pattern of these costs, relative changes in which should be undertaken un-dertaken with the "utmost caution." cau-tion." The crowning statement came from the Gargantuan Pennsylvania Pennsylvan-ia railroad company which is a chief object of the Georgia governor's gov-ernor's action. It foresees dolorously dolor-ously that from . the supreme court decision in that case there may come ''some government-or dained rate structure which would' freeze freight rates on a mileage basis." This, of course, might or might not be lust what the doctor ordered to build up a western industrial in-dustrial empire.
