The United States Steel Corporation A Study Of The Growth And Influence Of Combination In The Iron And Steel Industry PDF Download

Excerpt from The United States Steel Corporation: A Study of the Growth and Influence of Combination in the Iron and Steel Industry In certain particulars external to the mere manufacture of iron and steel, the industrial situation has been influenced by conditions similar to those contributing to the growth of other combinations. Intensity of competition, due partly to mal-adjustments between the number and size of competing producers and the strength and extent of the de mand for goods, have furthered the desire for consolidation. The protective tariff, too, by limiting the area of competi tion has encouraged producers to combine in the hope of securing control over certain branches of the trade in the home market. The geographical distribution of the sources of raw material, in so far as these sources are conveniently located for a single corporate or unified control, has helped to the same end.
