REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT

U.S. Tariff Commission June 11, 1965

To the President:

This report is made pursuant to section 351(d)(2) of the Trade

Expansion Act of 1962 (76 Stat. 900), 2/ which provides that--

Upon request of the President or upon its own motion, the Tariff Commission shall advise the President of its judgment as to the probable economic effect on the industry concerned of the reduction or termination of the increase in, or imposition of, any duty or other import restriction pursuant to this section or section 7 of the Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1951.

Introduction

Following an escape-clause investigation by the Tariff Commission

under section 7 of the Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1951, as

amended, 2/— the President proclaimed increased rates of duty on sheet

glass. 2/11/ Initially, the increased duties were to become effective

after the close of business on April 18, 1962; 'the President, however,

deferred the effective date of the increased duties until the close of

business on June 17, 1962. 1/

Since June 1962, when the duties were increased, the Commission

has maintained a continuing review of developments with respect to

sheet glass. In connection with this review the Commission has made

one annual report to the President pursuant to section 351(d)(1) of

the Trade Expansion Act of 1962.. V

On March 30, 1964, the President requested the Tariff Commission

to advise him of its judgment as to the probable economic effect of

the reduction or termination of the increases in duties on sheet glass.

On the same date the Commission instituted its investigation to pre-

pare such advice. A hearing in connection with the investigation was

held on June 30 and July 1, 1964, at which all interested parties were

given opportunity to be present, to produce evidence, and to be heard.

The Commission also obtained information used in this report from its

files, from other agencies of the U.S. Government, from correspondence,

from field conferences with U.S. producersand representatives of

foreign producers, and from responses to questionnaires sent to U.S.

producers.

Probable Economic Effect of Reduction or Termination of Increases in Duty

on Sheet Glass

The factors which affect the sheet glass industry, the subject

of this investigation, are, to a large extent, the same as those

associated with the generic product, flat glass. Sheet glass is one of

two major flat glass classifications; the other is plate glass. Float

glass, a new product of minor but growing importance, is still under-

going technological and marketing development. Neither float nor

plate glass is officially under investigation.

The demand for all flat glass is in major part a derived demand:

some 70 percent of the total is typically derived from building con-

struction and automobile manufacture. The remainder is used for

replacement, mirrors, and numerous miscellaneous products.

In both automobiles and buildings the cost of glass is so small

a part of the total costs (and changes in the price of glass are so

insignificant compared with total costs) that consumption is determined

by activities in the primary industries and is not highly responsive to

changes in price.

In the short run, therefore, the pricing of glass depends more

upon market conditions and marketing strategy than upon cost or cost

variations. Furthermore, the strategy is determined by a relatively

small number of domestic producers and importers or foreign producers.

Page 8: Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade Expansion Act of …DRAWN OR BLOWN FLAT GLASS (SHEET GLASS) Report to the President on Investigation No. TEA-IA-4 Under Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade

Plate and float glass (which account for somewhat more than half

of the value but less than half of the quantity of the consumption of

flat glass) are largely responsive to the demand for automobiles, in

which about half of the total consumption of such glass is used. Sheet

glass (which conversely accounts for less than half of the value but

more than half of the quantity of the consumption of flat glass is

largely responsive to building construction, which uses about two-thirds

of the total consumption of such glass.

In 1964 seven firms, operating 14 plants, accounted for virtually

all the production of sheet glass in the United States; they employed,

on the average, 7,300 workers in the manufacture of sheet glass; and

their aggregate sales of the product were valued at more than $100

million. Of the 14 plants, 4 were located in West Virginia, 2 each

in Pennsylvania and Oklahoma, and 1 each in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana,

Tennessee, Louisiana, and Arkansas. The 6 plants in Appalachia

usually employ about half the total number of workers in the industry;

4 of these plants, as well as the 2 plants in Oklahoma, are located in

areas of persistent unemployment; the 6 installations in such areas

together employ about half of the industry's work force. The major

domestic producers of flat glass produce both plate and sheet glass;

three of them are licensed to produce float glass (two are now in

production). Only three firms produce sheet glass exclusively. Most

managements, therefore, are aware of and affected by the production

and marketing conditions of flat glass in general, as well as of

Page 9: Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade Expansion Act of …DRAWN OR BLOWN FLAT GLASS (SHEET GLASS) Report to the President on Investigation No. TEA-IA-4 Under Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade

5

sheet glass specifically, and have some influence over the types of

glass to be produced and the competition among them. Sheet glass

accounts for less than one-fifth of the total value of sales for each

of the two dominant companies, which produce about two-thirds of such

glass.

Glass production is not an in-and-out industry. It requires

technical know-how, large capital, extensive marketing capacity, And

continuous operation of furnaces. The larger companies are better

able than the smaller ones to adjust production to demand, especially

by balancing drawing operations to the larger number of furnaces.

Even so, producers' inventories of sheet glass at the end of 1964

were at a high level--11 percent of annual sales as against 4 percent .

in 1955.

In the past decade and a half the major characteristic of the

apparent consumption of sheet glass has been wide fluctuations caused

not only by changes in demand of the consuming industries but also by

recurring labor difficulties. The peak consumption in 1959, for

example, was in part the result of pent-up demand following a work

stoppage in the domestic industry which caused consumption in 1958

to reach a record low for recent years. The slow and erratic upward

movement of apparent consumption of sheet glass as a whole has been a

composite of a downward movement in apparent consumption of window

glass and a somewhat stronger upward movement in apparent consumption

of heavy sheet glass. Apparent consumption in 1962-64 was high and

Page 10: Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade Expansion Act of …DRAWN OR BLOWN FLAT GLASS (SHEET GLASS) Report to the President on Investigation No. TEA-IA-4 Under Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade

it demonstrated an upward movement but, even so, the 1964 figure did

not surpass the 1959 peak.

It is also significant that domestic shipments of sheet glass do

not reflect even the gradual increase of total consumption. As a

matter of fact, there has been no discernible trend.

With the demand situation since 1962 leading to a strengthening

of prices, the increase in duty was taken as an opportunity to raise

prices. Both domestic and foreign prices were increased. The traditional

price differential favorable to imports (at or near port cities) was

generally maintained although it was reduced somewhat. 1/

The higher

prices increased profits of domestic producers as volume rose. Imports,

although down in 1963, were higher in 1962 and 1964 than in any pre-

ceding ceding year except 1959; — in 1962 and 1964 they roughly maintained

the percentage of the market that they had achieved prior to the

increase in duties. Even though the duty was increased more on heavy

sheet glass than on window glass, the ratio of imports to apparent

consumption continued to be greater for the former than for window

glass.

The productive capacity of the domestic sheet glass industry has

increased in all but 2 years since 1955. Yet, percentage of use has

1/ This is the general situation but, as pointed out in the body of this report, there were variations by type of product. For instance, the duty on certain heavy sheet glass was raised far more than that on other types, and the price differential became less favorable to imports. Even so, imports of such glass increased both absolutely and as a per-centage of the market.

2/ Imports in 1962 were artificially high as a result of anticipated duty increases; they were unusually low in 1963 because of the high level of importers' inventories, which had been built up before the duty increase.

been lower in recent years than it was in 1955-56. Investment in

plant has increased output per man-hour has gone up, and total man-

hours have decreased. The overall figures, however, obscure varying

levels of activity within the industry. In 1964 some plants and

furnaces operated even above normal expected capacity; while others--

especially those of smaller companies and some of the older ones

located principally in depressed areas--were either shut down or .

operating at low rates.

Although competition from imported sheet glass has typically been

greatest near the coast, changed pricing practices implemented by the

foreign manufacturers after the duties were increased have tended to

concentrate competition in and near port cities to an even greater

extent.

Even with a high level of general prosperity--which tends to

bolster the demand for glass in building construction and for replace-

ment (and in automobiles, which are a less important market for sheet

than for plate glass)--the Commission does not foresee large and

sustained increases in the demand for sheet glass or in domestic

shipments. No doubt the demand will continue to be subjected to con-

tinued wide fluctuations. Meanwhile, technological developments

affecting relative costs, quality, and prices of sheet, plate, and

float glass, seem to deter the expansion of the market for sheet glass

that might be expected from a growing economy.

Statement of Commissioners Dorfman, Fenn, and Culliton

Restoration of the concession rates of duty would probably have

only a slight effect on the domestic sheet glass industry in the present

and the immediately foreseeable future, aside from some slight impact

of the kind which can usually be expected from tariff reductions, such

as: Some increased pressure on older plants and smaller companies;

somewhat softer prices and pressure against higher prices; a tendency

for imports to increase because o some additional price advantage in

marginal markets and additional marketing flexibility for the importers

both geographically and in terms of added sales effOrt; some lessening

of confidence of the domestic industry; and a tendency, by making

competition more severe, to concentrate domestic production in the

stronger and more modern•establishments where output per man-hour may

be expected to rise. Unless there is a change from the past pattern

of wide fluctuations in domestic shipments, these general tendencies

may be expected to ease during times of rising d.emand and to strengthen

considerably in periods of downswing. In this connection we note the

recent reduction in the prices of imported sheet glass.

The task of predicting the probable economic effect of a restora-

tion of the concessions on this industry is complicated by the

consideration that the increased duties have been imposed only recently

(1962). Furthermore, the first full year of their operation (1963) was

distorted by a number of extraneous factors. This difficulty is

Page 13: Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade Expansion Act of …DRAWN OR BLOWN FLAT GLASS (SHEET GLASS) Report to the President on Investigation No. TEA-IA-4 Under Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade

9

meaningful for the managers in the industry, just as it is for the

Government, because they have to make their business decisions in

view of the brevity of the period of added protection and the scheduled

expiration date (1967) for the duty increases. They would probably

interpret a decrease now as indicating a less favorable set of

conditions thrust upon them earlier than they had expected and

definitely earlier than they had hoped (presumably they will make,

every effort to have the duty increases extended beyond 1967).

Statement of Commissioners Talbot and Sutton

The following factors are important when considering the probable

economic effects on the sheet glass industry of a duty reduction:

1. All signs indicate that this is not going to be an industry with great growth and will probably be a static or declining one.

2. Consumption is highly dependent on demand derived from the building-construction and automobile industries, with the result that consumption is subject to the sharp cyclical fluctuations which have characterized those industries.

3. Sheet glass supplied by the principal foreign producers is generally recognized as being comparable in quality to domestically produced sheet glass. The focal point of competition in the sheet glass industry is price, and one of the key determinants of the price of foreign sheet glass is the duty. A termination of the increases in duties would result in duty reductions equivalent to 4-20 percent of the present duty-paid prices of most imported sheet glass.

L. Even after the duties were increased, imports retained approximately the same share of the market that they

Page 14: Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade Expansion Act of …DRAWN OR BLOWN FLAT GLASS (SHEET GLASS) Report to the President on Investigation No. TEA-IA-4 Under Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade

10

had before the "escape action." This demonstrates the ability of the foreign manufacturers to compete in the U.S. market notwithstanding duties the ad valorem equivalents of which ranged from 18 to 54 percent of the foreign value in 1964.

5. Six plants accounting for more than half the U.S. production of sheet glass and a like share of employ-ment in the sheet glass industry are in the heart of Appalachia. Two other plants are located in areas of substantial and persistent unemployment.

6. The U.S. producers inventories of sheet glass were at an all-time high at the close of 1964 (table 6).

7. There have been several indications of a softening of prices of sheet glass, particularly those of imported glass, during the past several months:

(a) Late in 1964 the U.S. producers increased their terms-of-payment discount from 1 percent to 2 percent; early in 1965 the foreign manufacturers responded by increasing their maximum terms-of-payment discount from 3 percent to 5 percent.

(b) Certain foreign manufacturers and at least 1 domestic manufacturer increased discounts on sheet glass shipped in extra-large containers.

(c) Some foreign manufacturers announced (in May 1965) a reduction in their prices for 18-ounce and 24-ounce glass

8. Shipments by U.S. producers in 1963 and 1964 were lower than those in any of the years 1955, 1956, and 1959.

Given the foregoing one could expect that a reduction in duty

would--

1. Ekert a downward pressure on sheet glass prices;

Page 15: Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade Expansion Act of …DRAWN OR BLOWN FLAT GLASS (SHEET GLASS) Report to the President on Investigation No. TEA-IA-4 Under Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade

11

2. Lead to an increase in the share of consumption supplied by imports;

3. Contribute toward a decline in employment and profits; and

Ii.. Idle productive facilities.

Furthermore, one could expect that the actual repercussions would go

beyond those which a narrowly focused price analysis would indicate. A

less favorable price position of domestic versus foreign sheet glass

reduces the opportunities of domestic producers to make the most of

strong demand situations and to provide a defense against weak demand

situations.

Information Obtained in the Investigation

Description and uses

The imported product covered by this report is sheet glass weigh-

ing over 4 ounces per square foot. Such glass is currently identified

in the TSUS as "drawn or blown flat glass." It was identified under

the Tariff Act of 1930 as "cylinder, crown, and sheet glass." 1/

Sheet glass is one of the four principal types of flat glass.

The other three types, imports of which are not covered by the present

investigation, are described briefly below:

Rolled glass is a translucent type of flat glass (sometimes containing a wire netting) which has irregularities impressed on its surfaces by the rollers used to form the glass. It is generally used in applications where transparency is un- necessary or .objectionable„ but where light is needed, as in skylights, factory windows, and office partitions.

Plate glass is rolled glass which has been ground and polished. The grinding and polishing make the glass transparent and render its surfaces virtually plane and parallel, thereby eliminating the dis- tortion which is found, in various degrees, in sheet glass. Because of the virtual absence of distortion and the expense involved in grinding and polishing the glass, plate glass commands a considerably higher price than sheet glass. It is used chiefly in automobile windshields; it is also used in auto sidelights and in glazing large openings such as those in store display windows and curtain wall construction.

/ . Float glass 2 — is a relatively new type of transparent flat glass with virtually plane and parallel

1/ Cylinder and crown glass are made by hand production methods, which are now virtually obsolete. 2/ The technique of manufacturing float glass was developed by a

British firm - -Pilkington Bros., Ltd.

Page 17: Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade Expansion Act of …DRAWN OR BLOWN FLAT GLASS (SHEET GLASS) Report to the President on Investigation No. TEA-IA-4 Under Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade

13

surfaces comparable to those of plate glass. The parallel surfaces of float glass, however, are achieved by floating a layer of molten glass over molten metal rather than by physical grinding and polishing. 1/ Float glass has thus far been used .primarily in auto side windows, but it is also being used in auto windshields, in mirrors, and for general glazing purposes.

Sheet glass is a transparent flat-glass product made by machine

drawing, and having a smooth fire-polished surface. New building con-

struction accounts for about 65 percent of the total U.S. consumption

of sheet glass, and automobile production accounts for about 15 percent;

the other 20 percent is accounted for by replacement glazing and by the.

manufacture of mirrors and other products.

Within the sheet-glass-product classification there are three

major subclassifications, based on the thickness of the glass. The

respective products and their uses (generally different) are as

follows:

(1) Thin sheet glass (sheet glass weighing not over 16 ounces per square foot) is used in -miscellaneous applications such as microscope-slide glass, photo-graphic dry plates, picture glass, and small mirrors.

(2) Window glass (sheet glass weighing over 16 ounces but not over 28 ounces per square foot) 2/ is used chiefly for glazing windows, doors, and storm sash in residential construction. It is also used in making laminated glass (safety glass consisting of sheets of glass with a plastic interlayer), pinball machine covers, and double-glazed insulating units.

1/ Float glass was first produced in commercial quantities in 1959 and was first imported into the United States in 1960. Two U.S. float- glass-production facilities began operation in 1964; two such facilities are now under construction, and plans have been announced for the con-struction of two others. 2/ Window glass is frequently further divided into two subclassifica-

tions: Single-strength glass (weighing 18 or 19 ounces per square foot) and double-strength glass (weighing 24 or 26 ounces) per square foot.

Page 18: Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade Expansion Act of …DRAWN OR BLOWN FLAT GLASS (SHEET GLASS) Report to the President on Investigation No. TEA-IA-4 Under Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade

14

(3) Heavy sheet glass (sheet glass weighing over 28 ounces per square foot) is used to glaze large openings such as glass patio doors and the fixed glass panels frequently found adjacent to them. Heavy sheet glass is often tempered (specially toughened) and, in that form, used extensively in the side and rear windows of many automobiles.

U.S. tariff treatment

In June 1962 the President increased the rates of duty on sheet

glass dutiable under paragraph 219 of the Tariff Act of 1930, except

such glass weighing not over 4 ounces per square foot. 1/ The trade-

agreement rates of duty in effect immediately preceding the effective

date of the President's proclamation, as well as the escape-action/

rates that came into effect under that proclamation, are shown below

(in cents per pound):

Duties immediately Increased duties Sheet glass weighing over 4 preceding resulting from

ounces per square foot and escape action escape action measuring in square inches---

Not over 384 0.7 1.3 Over 384 and not over 864 .9• 1.6 Over 864 and not over 2400- 1.1 1.9 Over 2400: Weighing not over 28

ounces per square foot- 1.4 2.4 Weighing over 28 ounces

per square foot 1.4 3.5

1/ Sheet glass weighing not over 4 ounces per square foot is commonly known as ribbon glass. Such glass accounts for only an insignificant portion of total imports, production, and consumption of sheet glass. No data on ribbon glass are included in this report.

3/ The term "escape action" as used in this report is the action taken by the President to increase the rates of duty on sheet glass pursuant to the escape-clause procedure.

15

On August 31, 1963, the Tariff Schedules of the United States

(TSUS) replaced titles I and II in the Tariff Act of 1930. The class-

ifications for sheet glass in the TSUS differ in form from those

formerly in effect. 1/

The average ad valorem equivalents of the increased specific rates

of duty - -based on imports subject thereto in 1963--ranged from 18

percent to 57 percent (table 2). Almost one-fifth of the 1963 imports

entered at rates of duty equivalent to less than 20 percent ad valorem;

about three-fifths, at rates equivalent to about 30 percent ad valorem;

and more than one-fifth, at rates equivalent to more than 55 percent ad

valorem.

On most sizes of sheet glass, the average ad valorem equivalents

of the increased rates of duty were nearly double those of the trade-

agreement rates based on similar imports in 1961. The average ad

valorem equivalent of the increased rate of duty on glass measuring

over 2,400 square inches and weighing over 28 ounces per square foot,

This marked increase is attributable largely to the increase in the

1/ Tariff treatment for sheet glass subject to the escape-action rates of duty was formerly provided for under par. 219 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (with an additional duty if colored or processed imposed under par. 224); it is currently provided for under items 542.11 to 542.98 and item 544.17 of the TSUS. The escape-action rates of duty are provided for in items 923.11 to 924.00 of the TSUS appendix. Certain size brackets were modified slightly under the TSUS to bring the tariff provisions into closer conformity with trade practices; however, only an insignificant quantity of sheet glass was subject to altered rates of duty. The tariff classifications in the TSUS pertain-ing to the sheet glass subject to the escape action and the pertinent rates of duty which became effective Aug. 31, 1963, are shown in table 1.

specific rate of duty (since the escape-action rate was 2-1/2 times

the trade-agreement rate). To a lesser extent, it resulted from a

decline in the average unit value of the glass. The average ad valorem

equivalents declined slightly in 1964 owing to the increase in foreign

unit value resulting from price increases which occurred during the

summer of 1963 and early in 1964.

Before the increased rates of duty were imposed in June 1962 )

all glass dutiable under paragraph 219 that was the product of Com-

munist countries 1/ was dutiable at the full rates in the Tariff Act

of 1930, as amended. After the imposition of the escape-action rates,

all such glass from Communist countries continued to be dutiable at

the full rates except glass measuring over 2,400 square inches and

weighing over 28 ounces per square foot. Since the escape-action

rate for this glass is higher than the previously applicable full

rate, the escape-action rate applies to imports from Communist

countries as well as to imports dutiable at most-favored-nation (N 'N)

rates..

U.S. consumption

In 1955-64 the apparent U.S. consumption of sheet glass moved

irregularly upward. The consumption of sheet glass increased at a

slower rate than either gross national product or the Federal Reserve

index of industrial production. This lag is largely attributable to

the sluggishness in building construction, the principal consuming

industry, in the United States (table 3).

The apparent consumption of sheet glass in each of the years 1962

through 1964-1.9 to 2.0 billion pounds--was appreciably higher than in

either 1960 or 1961 and was exceeded only by that in the peak year,

1959 (table 4). The substantial increase in the consumption of sheet

glass in 1962 reflected the concurrent large increases in residential

construction and automobile production, whereas the more modest

advances in such consumption in 1963 and 1964 reflected a slowdown in

the rate of expansion in those consuming industries (particularly in

1964).

Thin sheet glass.--The annual consumption of thin sheet glass

has increased almost steadily since 1955, but such consumption still

accounts for only a small part (less than 4 percent) of the total

consumption of sheet glass.

Window glass.--The apparent annual consumption of window glass

amounted to 1.1 to 1.2 billion pounds during the 1960-64 period. Window

glass has accounted for about three-fifths of the total quantity of

sheet glass entering consumption in recent years, although its share

declined from 66 percent in 1960 to 58 percent in 1964. Before 1962,

changes in the apprent annual consumption of window glass were usually

closely related. to changes in the level of home construction and auto-

mobile production. After reaching a peak of 1.5 billion pounds in 1959,

Page 22: Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade Expansion Act of …DRAWN OR BLOWN FLAT GLASS (SHEET GLASS) Report to the President on Investigation No. TEA-IA-4 Under Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade

18

the consumption of window glass declined with the slackened pace of

those industries in 1960 and 1961. Although activity in those

industries was substantially greater during 1962-64 than in the immed-

iately preceding years, the consumption of window glass remained

stable. Two factors appear to have accounted for this stability:

(1) Tempered glass (made from a single piece of heavy sheet glass)

has largely replaced laminated glass (made from two pieces of window

glass) for use in the side windows of automobiles, and (2) larger

openings, which require the use of heavier glass (e.g., sliding glass

doors and picture windows), have been used increasingly in both

residential and commercial buildings.

Heavy sheet glass. - -The apparent consumption of heavy sheet glass

has increased in almost every year since 1955. Such consumption during

1963 and 1964 --0.8 billion pounds annually- -was appreciably greater

than the annual average during the period 1955-64. The increase in

annual consumption is attributable not only to - the displacement of

window glass by heavy sheet glass, as cited above, but also to the

economic growth of the consuming industries. In 1964, heavy sheet

glass constituted 38 percent (by weight) of total U.S. consumption

of sheet glass.

U.S. producers

Virtually all of the U.S. production of sheet glass is accounted

for. by 7 firms in 14 establishments. 2/

Sheet glass accounts for all

of the output of 11 of these establishments and nearly all of the

output of 2 of them, but only a small part of the output of 1 of them.

Of the 7 firms discussed above, 4 firms conduct multiproduct operations

(preponderantly in establishments other than those producing sheet

glass), and the other 3 firms produCe only sheet glass; 3-/ 3 of the

7 firms accounted for more than 85 percent (based on weight) of the

U.S. producers' shipments of sheet glass in 1964.

Of the 14 establishments producing sheet glass, 4 are located

in West Virginia, 2 each in Pennsylvania and Oklahoma, and 1 -each in

Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Arkansas. 2/

1/ The number of firms and the number of establishments shown above are each 3 less than the numbers indicated in previous reports. This difference results from two circumstances. First, insignificant quantities of special types of sheet glass are produced by 2 firms at 2 establishments. These firms and establishments are not included in the count above, but were included in earlier reports. Data on the sheet glass operations of these firms, however, are included in the appropriate sections of this report (i.e., production and shipments). Second, the rates of duty on sheet glass weighing less than 4 ounces per square foot were not modified by the escape action. Therefore, data with respect to such glass (and the firm and establishment which produce it) are not included in this report.

2/ One of these three firms recently began fabricating a small portion of the sheet glass which it produces.

3/ In April 1965, one producing firm announced plans for building a sheet glass plant in California.

U.S. production and shipments

Although production of sheet glass did not increase during the

period 1955-64, the productive capacity of the industry has been

increased in all but 2 years since 1955. Two new plants have begun

production (one each in 1957 and 1959).and a new continuous furnace

has been added (in 1961). Many factories have installed new drawing

machines with greater capacity and have modernized other production

facilities.

Data on the U.S. production of sheet glass, together with indexes

of the U.S. producers' capacity to produce sheet glass and of the

trend of the utilization of that capacity are shown for the years 1955-64

Information available to the Commission on the extent of idle

facilities relates to the number of idle continuous furnaces. The

domestic producers of sheet glass indicated that 22 of their 33 con-

tinuous furnaces were in operation on May 20, 1965. The 22 furnaces

accounted for approximately two-thirds of total capacity. It

appears that most of the 11 furnaces which were not in operation were

"down" primarily for lack of orders. 1/

Variations in annual production of sheet glass have corresponded

closely with changes in U.S. producers 1 annual shipments (including

intracompany transfers); changes in the latter have'closely reflected

changes in annual consumption. Fluctuations in annual shipments have

also reflected fluctuations in new building construction and automobile

production (particularly the former). Shipments rose each year from

1960 (when they amounted to 1.3 billion pounds) through 1963 (when

they amounted to 1.6 billion pounds), then declined slightly to 1.5

billion pounds in 1964. Shipments during 1963 -and 1964 were almost

as great as in the preceding peak years of 1955, 1956, and 1959

(table 4). Since 1957 the share of annual consumption supplied by

domestic shipments has been relatively stable, ranging from 75 to 80

percent; it averaged 77 percent during that period. In 1963, the

first full year after the duty was increased under the escape clause,

domestic producers supplied 80 percent of apparent consumption; they

supplied 76 percent in 1964.

Thin sheet glass.--Domestic shipments of thin sheet glass (glass

weighing not over 16 ounces per square foot) supplied less than half

of the annual consumption of such glass in each year of the last decade.

Window glass.--Domestic shipments supplied 75 percent or more of

the annual consumption of window glass in each of the last 10 years

(from col. 4, table 5). Before 1960, year-to-year changes in such

shipments closely reflected fluctuations in activity of the major

consuming industries (building construction and automobile

production). U.S. producers' annual shipments of window glass during

1962-64 (when they averaged 911 million pounds) were greater than

those during 1960-61. The increased shipments reflected primarily

the substantially increased activity in building construction; the

share of the U.S. market for window glass supplied by domestic producers

in 1962-64 also increased over that in the earlier period.

Heavy sheet glass.--U.S. producers supplied 74 percent or more

of annual consumption of heavy sheet glass in each of the last 10

years (col. 7, table 5). With the rising demand for such glass,

shipments by domestic producers increased each year from 1959 to 1963;

in 1964, however, they were somewhat smaller than in 1963.

U.S. producers' inventories

During 1955-64, yearend inventories of sheet glass held by the

U.S. producers ranged from )4 to 12 percent of their annual shipments.

Such inventories were at a record high of 164 million pounds at the

end of 1964 (table 6).

U.S. imports

Sheet glass dutiable at MFN rates constitutes the preponderant

part of the sheet glass imported into the United States. Although

imports from Communist-dominated countries at full rates of duty have

been small, they have increased substantially, though irregularly, in

recent years. Most of the sheet glass dutiable at MFN rates is com-

parable in quality to U.S.-produced sheet glass. Most of that imported

from Communist-dominated countries, on the other hand, is inferior in

quality.

In 8 of the past 10 years, MFN imports varied with the apparent

consumption of sheet glass. The following' series of indexes indicate

the moderate upward trend of apparent consumption and the more pronounced

upward trend of imports at

The volume of imports clearly responded to the peak level of building

construction in 1959, its subsequent decline in 1960 and 1961, and its

upturn in 1962. The higher imports in 1962 were also attributable in

part to efforts by importers to enter as much glass as possible prior

to the increase in the rates of duty. In 1963, however, MFN imports

were 13 percent below those in 1962, notwithstanding the continued

increase in the consumption of sheet glass. The decline was attribut-

able to various factors, including the increase in the duties, the

high level of inventories in the hands of importers at the end of

1962, the dock strike on the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coasts during

January 1963, and, to some extent, the revised FHA standards, which

became effective in April 1963. 1/ In 1964, MFN imports were 18 percent

above those in 1963, reflecting the increased demand and, to some

extent, threatened shortages of domestically produced glass attributable

(in part) to the prolonged strike at the Fourco Glass Co.

Measurement of the extent to which trade-agreement concessions

were responsible for the greatly increased imports of sheet

glass during the middle and late 1950's is not possible. The major

concessions became effective in 1948 and 1951, and the smaller, 3-stage

concessions became effective in 1956-58. The greatest absolute

1/ Implementation of the revised FHA property standards requires that glass installed in FHA-financed homes meet designated standards of thickness for certain size lights of glass. These standards, if rigidly enforced, would preclude the use of the less expensive 18- and 24-ounce window glass, which has been available only from the foreign producers, in favor of the use of 19- and 26-ounce window glass, which is available from both domestic and foreign producers.

Page 29: Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade Expansion Act of …DRAWN OR BLOWN FLAT GLASS (SHEET GLASS) Report to the President on Investigation No. TEA-IA-4 Under Section 351(d)(2) of the Trade

increases in MFN imports were from 1954 to 1955 and from 1958 to 1959;

both 1955 and 1959 were characterized by high U.S. consumption and

shortages of domestically produced glass. It appears that the increased

MFN imports resulted from a combination of factors, including the

periodic shortages of domestically produced glass, the desire by some

purchasers of sheet glass to have both foreign and domestic sources of

supply, and the price advantage of the imported glass. 1/

The escape action has not had a substantial effect on the share

of the market supplied by MFN imports. Although the share of con-

sumption supplied by such imports in 1963 (19 percent) was somewhat

lower than it was in the 4-year period 1959-62, when it ranged from

21 to 24 percent, the smaller share is attributable to several factors

(cited earlier in this section) besides the increase in duties. The

share of apparent U.S. consumption of sheet glass supplied by imports

dutiable at MFN rates in 1964 (22 percent) was about the same as in

the 1959-62 period.

The quantity of sheet glass imported from Communist countries (at

full rates of duty) has increased in most of the years since 1954•

Such imports reached a peak of 36 million pounds in 1962, declined

sharply to 17 million pounds in 1963, and then increased to 32 million

pounds in 1964 (table 4). The smaller volume of imports in 1963 is

attributable to a variety of causes, including the excessive inven-

tories held by the principal importer of such glass, the termination

of the exclusive contract formerly held by that importer for the

importation of glass from the U.S.S.R., and the dumping investigations--

instituted by the U.S. Treasury Department in 1963 --concerning window

glass from Czechoslovakia and the U.S.S.R.

Imports by kinds.--Imports at MFN rates supplied the major share

of thin sheet glass consumed each year in the past decade. Imports of

such glass, which were successively higher in most of the last 10 years,

reached a peak of 52 million pounds in 1964 (table 5).

Imports of window glass at MFN rates were successively lower in

each of the years 1960-63, notwithstanding the slightly larger consump-

tion of such glass in 1962 and 1963 than in 1960 and 1961. Such imports

were somewhat higher in 1964 than in 1963.

Imports of heavy sheet glass were the highest on record in 1964,

when they anounted to 166 million pounds (table 7). Imports of the

larger sizes of heavy sheet glass (over 15 square feet in area) in

1962 and 1963 were much greater than in the previous peak year, 1959.

The larger sizes of heavy sheet glass, moreover, were subject to by

far the highest escape-action duty (equivalent, on the average, to 57

percent ad valorem in 1963). The substantial increase in imports of

the large sizes of heavy sheet glass notwithstanding the greatly

increased duty on such glass is attributable primarily to the greatly

1 The Treasury Department determined that window glass from both the U.S.S.R. and Czechoslovakia was being sold in the United States at "less than fair value." The Tariff Commission reported its determina-tions on Sept. 29, 1964, and Nov. 16, 1964, with regard to imports of window glass from the U.S.S.R. and Czechoslovakia, respectively, "That an industry in the United. States is not being, and is not likely to be, injured, or prevented from being established, by reason of the impor-tation of window glass...sold at less than fair value..."

27

increased demand for such glass, which arose from the expanded use of

heavy sheet glass in patio doors and picture windows.

The ratio of window glass to heavy sheet glass is roughly the

same for imports at full rates of duty as for imports at MFN rates.

Annual imports of colored and specially processed sheet glass

have remained small during the last several years (table 5).

Imports by sources. --In 1964, sheet glass was imported at MFN

rates from 27 countries. West European countries and Japan were the

sources of most imports, but other countries (e.g., Israel, Taiwan,

and South Korea) have supplied substantial quantities in recent years.

Belgium, the principal supplier, accounted for 35 percent of the sheet

glass imported during the period 1955-6i4 and 31 percent of that

imported in 1964 (table 8). Japan has become an increasingly important

supplier; the share of the total imports coming from that country

increased from an average of 12 percent during 1955-62 to 17 percent

during 1963-64. Other important sources include West Germany, the

United Kingdom, and France. The U.S.S.R. and Czechoslovakia have

been the chief suppliers of the small amounts of sheet glass imported

at full rates of duty.

Prices

Prices of domestic glass.--The "net prices" paid by concerns

purchasing domestic sheet glass directly from the producers--i.e.,

the delivered cost of the glass to those concerns--were materially

greater in 1964 than in 1959. 11 "Net prices" had been reduced sharply

early in 1960 (through a change in pricing practices), but were increased

several times thereafter.

Early in 1960, without changing their list prices or discounts,

the producers shifted from -,quoting prices on a freight-equalized basis

to a delivered-price basis, thereby reducing the delivered cost of

domestic sheet glass to users at virtually all destinations. 'The change

to a delivered-price basis reduced the U.S. producers' average net

realization on sales by about 7 percent (and thus, on the average, reduced

"net prices" by that percentage). The savings to direct-factory buyers

located in or near seaboard cities were generally greater than for

buyers located elsewhere. 2/

In the summer of 1960, U.S. producers increased their delivered

prices by about 5 percent; they increased them by another 5 percent in

the spring of 1962, and by 5 to 9 percent (depending on the type of

packing) in the summer of 1963 (table 10). Through 1963 the prices of

/ domestic sheet glass in all important thicknesses — were increased

about proportionately. Early in 1964, however, the prices of single-

strength glass were increased by 5 percent, while the prices of

y Prices in effect in 1959 were virtually identical with those in effect in 1957 and 1958.

2/ Under the freight-equalization system, producers paid freight in excess of that from the domestic supplier nearest the purchaser. Under the delivered-price system, all freight from the producer to the pur-chaser is absorbed by the producer. For further information, see the Commission's escape-clause report on sheet glass (cited in footnote 2 p. 1) and the Commission's report of Sept. 27, 1963, under sec. 351(d)(1) with respect to sheet glass (cited in footnote 2, p. 2).

3/ Seaboard buyers are generally located farther from domestic plants than are inland buyers.

!..t! E.g., single-strength, double-strength, and heavy.

double-strength and heavy-sheet glass were not changed. Late in 1964

one of the major domestic producers increased its prices only on heavy

sheet glass in sizes over 25 square feet. Early in 1965 other domestic

producers followed suit.

Notwithstanding the price increases noted above, because of the

effect of the change to a delivered-price basis, the "net prices" of

sheet glass to buyers in most major inland cities did not exceed their

1959 peak until the spring of 1962, and those to buyers in seaboard

cities did not exceed their 1959 peak until the summer of 1963. Price

data on sheet glass published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

(BLS) indicate that average prices prevailing late in 1963 were about

11 percent higher than those prevailing late in 1959 before the

change in the method of pricing) (table 10). 1/ After the 5-percent

price increase early in 1964 on single-strength glass, the average prices

of sheet glass of that thickness were about 16 percent higher than those

in 1959. For most categories of domestic sheet glass, net prices on May 1,

1965, were little different than on May 1, 1964 (see footnote 2, table 11).

increased rates of duty, foreign manufacturers (in addition to revert-

ing to ex-dock prices) have increased their prices on certain categories

of sheet glass 2/— on three occasions and their prices on all other

1/ The Bureau of Labor Statistics national price indexes do not coin-cide with the Tariff Commission's indexes for selected cities because the BIS data reflect the composite price effect of the shift from freight-equalized prices to delivered prices, as reported by the domestic producers, whereas the Commission's indexes reflect the averages based on shipments by the U.S. producers to selected U.S. cities. If May 1, 1960, had been used as a base, the two series of index numbers would have been virtually identical on all subsequent dates. 52/ Single-strength window glass and heavy. sheet glass measuring over 2 square feet in area.

sheet glass on two occasions, 1/— In May 1965, however, several foreign

manufacturers announced a small reduction in the price of certain

thicknesses of sheet glass. * * * Changes in the prices of West

European sheet glass to purchasers in the more important U.S. port

cities have been about proportional to changes in the delivered

prices of U.S.-produced sheet glass in such cities (table 11). The

delivered prices of Japanese sheet glass have increased to a greater

extent than delivered prices of West European sheet glass; the U.S.

prices of Japanese glass are now generally about equal to those of

West European glass.

Comparisons of prices of domestic and West European glass..--The

delivered prices of two representative categories of domestically

produced and imported sheet glass in New York City are shown in

table 11. The price comparisons shown are typical of those in most

coastal cities (where the competition between domestic and imported

glass is most intense). The price differential diminishes as the

distance , inland from port cities increases. In most inland locations

the delivered price of domestic glass is lower than that of imported

glass.

1/ In 1962, after the President proclaimed the increased rates of duty, foreign manufacturers changed their method of quoting prices from a delivered to an ex-.dock (duty-paid) basis. For most glass, the combined cost of customs brokerage, loading, and trucking is equivalent to roughly 5 percent of the total delivered cost in seaboard cities.

For single-strength glass (the most important thickness of windaw.

glass), the duty-paid delivered cost of the West European glass was

almost 8 percent lower than the delivered price of the domestic glass

for about 2 years prior to the escape action. Since the escape

action, the price differential, in favor of West European single-

strength glass at New York City has generally been between 5 and 7

percent (table 11).

For heavy sheet glass, the delivered price of the West European

glass was about 9 percent lower than the delivered price of the

domestic glass for about 2 years prior to the escape action. Since

the escape action, the price differential has generally been between

Changes since 1955 in the average annual employment in the U.S.

establishments producing sheet glass have reflected changes in the

annual production of sheet glass except in'1963 and 1964. Employment

in the production of sheet glass declined from 16.14 million man-hours

in 1959 to a low of 12.8 million man-hours in 1961 (table 9). It rose

substantially with the upturn in production to 15.0 million man-hours

in 1962, but declined to 14.5 and 114.3 million man-hours in 1963 and

19614, respectively, although production increased slightly in each

of those years. The average number of production and related workers

employed in making sheet glass during 1955-614 ranged from 8,1461 in

1956 to 6,420 in 1961. Indexes of the U.S. production of sheet glass,

of man-hours worked in the production of sheet glass, f and of output

per man-hour, for the years 1955-64 are shown in the following tabulation

(1957-59=100):

Year Production Man-hours Output per man-hour

The decline in employment (in terms of man-hours) after 1962,

accompanied by an increase in production, reflects a significant

increase in output per man-hour, which is attributable to improvements,

in technology coincident with the highest levels of production since .

1959.

Produpts other than sheet glass are produced in 3 of the 14 -

establishments currently producing sheet glass. In 2 of the 3 estab-

lishments only a small number of workers produce other products; in

the other establishment the number of workers producing other products.

accounted for the preponderant share of the total employment in the

establishment. Employment in the production of other products (includ-

ing processed sheet glass) in terms of both the average number of

workers and the man-hours worked has increased significantly since

1957. The proportion of total man-hours worked in the 14 establish-

ments that was accounted for by the production of the other products

increased from 3 percent in 1955 to 22 percent in each of the years

1962-61L. The greater share of production consisting of other products

in recent years is attributable primarily to the beginning of operation

(in 1957) of a large establishment in which both sheet and plate glass

are produced and further processed and to the initiation of tempering

operations at two other establishments.

Profit-and-loss experience of domestic producers

Profit-and-loss data were received from six firms, 1/ which

produce sheet glass in 13 establishments (table 12). 3./ These six

firms accounted for more than nine-tenths of the domestic production

of sheet glass in each of the years 1955-64.

The aggregate net sales (including intracompany transfers)*-* * of

sheet glass by the six firms increased in value from * * *

71 The only firm producing substantial quantities of sheet glass which did not submit profit-and-loss data was the Ford Motor Co. Ford's production is predominantly captive.

1/ In 1961 and 1962 each of the 13 establishments produced only un-processed sheet glass. In 1963, 11 of the establishments produced only unprocessed sheet glass, and 2 establishments produced small quantities of tempered sheet glass also.

$107.4 million in 1961 to $122.0 million in 1962, and to $130.9 million

in 1963. Such sales reached new peaks in each of the years 1963 and

1964.

The six firms reported a small aggregate net loss on their sheet

glass operations in 1960, small aggregate net profits in 1961 and

1962, and substantially improved aggregate net profits in 1963.

Profit-and-loss data submitted by the four firms for which 1964 data

are available indicate a further improvement in aggregate net profits

in that year. .1/ It should be noted, however, that the two firms for

which 1964 data are not available were closed by a strike for almost

6 months. * * * It appears that the four reporting firms benefited

to some extent from the suspended operations of the nonreporting firms.

The six firms reported a net loss * * * in 1960; they had net

profits of $1.3 million (equal to 1.3 percent of sales) in 1961, $3.3

million (equal to 2.7 percent of sales) in 1962, and $12.4 million

(equal to 9.5 percent of sales) in 1963. The 1.961 and 1962 net

operating profits (and the corresponding profit ratios) were far smaller

than those in any of the years 1955-59. The net operating profit (and

the corresponding profit ratio) in 1963 was appreciably larger than

that in 1958, but substantially smaller than in each of the years 1955,

1956, and 1959. The aggregate net operating profit in 1963 was

appreciably larger than that in 1957, but the ratio of net operating

1/ Two of the six firms operate on an accounting year ended June 30. Data for these concerns for the accounting year ended June 30, 1964, are shown in table 12 under 1963, and data for the accounting year ended June 30, 1963, are shown under 1962, and so forth. Therefore, the data for 1964 are not shown in table 12.

profits to net sales was about the same in both years. Four of the

six firms sustained net operating losses in 1960, three firms sustained

losses in 1961, and two firms sustained losses in 1962; all six firms

realized net operating profits in 1963, and three of the four firms

which reported data for 1964 realized profits in that year.

The aggregate operating loss in 1960 and the low aggregate

profits in 1961 and 1962 reflected in large part the change by the

producers from a freight-equalized-price basis to a delivered-price

basis. In the two years 1961-62, for example, freight prepaid by the

6 producers was equivalent to 6.6 percent of their gross sales

* * * ; comparable data are not available for earlier years, but

the corresponding ratios in 1959 and earlier years would have been

far smaller. The operating loss in 1960 also reflected a very sub-

stantial decline in shipments in that year. The moderate improvement

in profits in each of the years 1961 and 1962 was attributable in

part to the price increases in mid-1960 and early 1962 (table 10);

an additional factor in 1962 was the increased volume of shipments

(table 4). The substantial improvement in aggregate profits in 1963

reflected further increases in both shipments and prices.

1/ The ad valorem equivalents shown here do not include the 22 percent ad valorem additional rate of duty applicable to sheet glass when bent, beveled' colored, etc. 2/ Under the Tariff Act of 1930 the determination of the applicable rates

of duty to imports of sheet glass was based on the surface area of the glass (in square inches). Under the TSUS the determination of the applicable rate of duty for glass weighing not over 28 ounces per square foot is based on the dimensional measurements of the glass (i.e., united inches; the term united inches refers to the sum of the length plus the width) whereas the determination of the applicable rate of duty for glass weighing over 28 ounces per square foot continues to be based on the surface area of the glass (now reported in square feet). Under the TSUS the surface area brackets for the heavier glass were modified slightly to bring the tariff provisions more closely into conformity with existing trade practices. -

In calculating the equivalents for the provisions shown above for 1961 and for the January-August portion of 1963 the following allocations were used:

Sheet glass Not over 28 ounces per

square foot (united inches)

Not over 40 Over 40 but not over 60

Over 60 but not over 100

Over 100

weighing-- Over 28 ounces per

over 7 Over 7 but not over 15

Over 15

Sheet glass (all weights)

(square inches)

Not over 384 Over 384 but not

over 864 Over 864 but not

over 2400 Over 2400

3/ The glass used in computing these ad valorem equivalents consisted preponderantly of glass measuring over 16-2/3 square feet (2,400 square inches) in area and dutiable at 3.5 cents per pound; however, a small quantity of glass measuring between 15 square feet (2,160 square inches) and 16-2/3 square feet in area and dutiable at 2.4 cents per pound was also included. The inclusion of the glass, in the latter bracket did not materially affect the ad valorem equivalents shown.
