To the editor:
The old tin mill in 1953: You graduated from high school and went into the tin mill at $12 a day, and there were 10,000 employees.
What went wrong?
Out on the old mill floor, tin plate came newspaper-thin, running at 1,700 feet a minute, becoming a supervisor's bad dream. Four tin lines run with wrecks galore, No. 4 line's running, No. 5 line's down, No. 6 is up and down -- quality's down, boss Tony prayed, "Please Lord, no more."
Seventy years later, a state-of-the-art tin line is the only thing that can save tin production -- and a new mill in 2024.
