Description
An
aerial
view
of
Cleveland
,
Ohio
including
a
view
of
Republic
Steel
. The
Republic
Steel
Corporation
was
founded
in
1899
in
Youngstown
,
Ohio
. The
firm
was
originally
known
as
Republic
Iron
and
Steel
Company
. For the
company's
first
three
decades
of
existence
,
it
prospered
, as
Ohio
was
one
of the
leading
industrialist
states
of the
period
. In
1927
,
Cyrus
Eaton
purchased
a
majority
of the
stock
in the
Republic
Steel
Company
. At the
same
time
,
Eaton
also
purchased
stock
in
other
companies
. He
hoped
to
unite
these
companies
together
to
compete
with the
U.S
.
Steel
Company—the
largest
steel
manufacturer
in the
United
States
.
Under
Eaton's
leadership
, the
Republic
Steel
Company
expanded
its
manufacturing
holdings
to
include
plants
in
Massillon
,
Elyria
,
Canton
,
Cleveland
, and
Warren
,
Ohio
.
Thanks
to
Eaton's
efforts
, the
Republic
Steel
Company
emerged
as the
third
largest
steel
producer
in the
United
States
. The
Republic
Steel
Company
,
like
many
other
businesses
,
faced
an
economic
downturn
during
the
Great
Depression
. The
firm
,
unlikely
many
others
,
remained
in
operation
and
actually
expanded
its
holdings
by
purchasing
smaller
steel
companies
as they
went
bankrupt
.
Tom
Girdler
now
headed
the
company
, and
under
his
leadership
, the
firm's
corporate
headquarters
moved
to
Cleveland
.
During
the
1930s
, the
Republic
Steel
Company
, as
well
as
many
other
steel
mills
,
faced
tensions
as its
steel
workers
,
wanting
to
unionize
,
started
a
strike
over
low
wages
and
poor
working
conditions
.
While
Republic
Steel
proved
successful
in the "
Little
Steel
Strike
of
1937
, " with the
outbreak
of
World
War
II
, the
firm
quickly
permitted
unions
in its
mills
so
that the
firm
could
acquire
lucrative
government
contracts
. The
company
prospered
throughout
the
1940s
,
1950s
, and
1960s
, but
competition
from
foreign
steel
,
higher
wages
, and
new
environmental
codes
began
to
hurt
the
firm
. The
situation
continued
to
worsen
for the
Republic
Steel
Company
during
the
1980s
, and in
1984
, the
company
merged
with
Jones
and
Laughlin
to
create
LTV
Steel
.
