SCHNITZER STEEL INDUSTRIES, INC.
SCHEDULE 13G FILING AGREEMENT AND POWER OF ATTORNEY

    This SCHEDULE 13G FILING AGREEMENT AND POWER OF ATTORNEY (the "Agreement") is entered into as of March 31, 1994 by and among the undersigned beneficial owners (the "Beneficial Owners") of Common Stock of Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc. (the "Company").

    WHEREAS, the Beneficial Owners have sole or shared voting or dispositive power over an aggregate of 4,728,249 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company deposited in the Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc. Voting Trust (the "Voting Trust"), which shares are convertible into Class A Common Stock of the Company representing more than five percent of the outstanding Class A Common Stock; and

    WHEREAS, as a result of their participation in the Voting Trust, the Beneficial Owners may be deemed to be a group required to file a Schedule 13G and annual amendments thereto with the Securities and Exchange Commission to report their beneficial ownership of shares of Class A Common Stock, and the Beneficial Owners desire to jointly file such Schedule 13G and any amendments thereto;

    NOW, THEREFORE, the Beneficial Owners agree as follows:

    1.  Joint Filing Agreement.  The Beneficial Owners hereby agree that the Schedule 13G reporting their beneficial ownership as of December 31, 1993 of Class A Common Stock of the Company is, and any amendments thereto or any future Schedule 13Gs or amendments thereto signed by each of the undersigned personally or through an attorney-in-fact shall be, filed on behalf of each of them pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

    2.  Power of Attorney.  Each Beneficial Owner hereby constitutes and appoints Kenneth M. Novack, Edgar C. Shanks and Charles A. Ford, and any one of them, as his or her true and lawful attorney, agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing and delivering in the name and on behalf of the undersigned all documents required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with the reporting of beneficial ownership by the undersigned of Class A Common Stock of the Company, including specifically, but without limitation thereto, power and authority to sign the undersigned's name as attorney-in-fact to a Schedule 13G to be filed to report beneficial ownership as of December 31, 1993 of Class A Common Stock of the Company and to any amendments thereto, and to any future Schedule 13G or amendments thereto as may be required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and to any joint filing agreements among the undersigned relating to such documents, and to file any such statement, amendment or agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The undersigned ratifies and confirms all that such attorney and agent shall do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

    3.  Additional Parties.  Any person who becomes a beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company deposited in the Voting Trust may, by execution of a counterpart signature page to this Agreement, become a party to this Agreement. Each Beneficial Owner consents and agrees to the automatic amendment of this Agreement to add as a party any such person who shall thereafter be considered a Beneficial Owner under this Agreement.
