But even pro-steel sources pointed out that more than half of the wage increase, for the industry as a whole, will come out of the Government's pocket rather than out of the steel mills'. Reason: the corporation and excess-profits taxes which now take 62% of all earnings of $500,000 or more over the base exemption (and will...
