         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
    ---------------------------------------------

To the Participants and Administrator of Harnischfeger
Industries Employees' Savings Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets
available for benefits and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for benefits present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available
for benefits of the Harnischfeger Industries Employees'
Savings Plan (the "Plan") at October 31, 1995 and 1994, and
the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The
additional information included in Schedules I and II is
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is
additional information required by ERISA.  Such information
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

HARNISCHFEGER INDUSTRIES EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN
- -------------------------------------------------
           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
          ------------------------------ 
             OCTOBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
             -------------------------
(1)     PLAN HISTORY
      
        Harnischfeger Corporation established the
        Harnischfeger Corporation Employee Savings
        and Protection Plan effective April 1, 1984
        (the "Harnischfeger Plan").  Effective
        March 2, 1987, sponsorship of the
        Harnischfeger Plan was assumed by
        Harnischfeger Industries, Inc. (the
        "Company") and the Plan was renamed the
        Harnischfeger Industries Employees' Savings
        Plan (the "Plan").  The Plan was amended
        and restated July 1, 1995 to incorporate
        all previous Plan amendments including the
        Optical Alignment Systems and Inspection
        Services, Inc. ("OASIS") plan merger on May
        1, 1995.  The term "Company" as used in
        these financial statements refers to
        Harnischfeger Industries, Inc. and its
        subsidiaries excluding Joy Technologies
        Inc. and Dobson Park Industries plc.

        Effective October 29, 1993, as a result of
        the sale of H-K Systems, Inc. (formerly
        Harnischfeger Engineers, Inc.) and pursuant
        to the sale agreement, participation in the
        Plan by H-K Systems, Inc. and its employees
        ceased.  Transfer of account balances for
        participants employed by H-K Systems, Inc. 
        to a defined contribution retirement plan
        established by H-K Systems, Inc. was
        completed on January 20, 1994.
          
        Effective February 16, 1995, the Company
        completed the sale of Syscon Corporation to
        Logicon, Inc.  Account balances of
        participants employed by Syscon and its
        subsidiaries were transferred to an
        existing Logicon defined contribution
        retirement plan on April 28, 1995.

(2)     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Basis of Presentation
       ---------------------
        The accompanying financial statements have
        been prepared on the accrual basis.

        Investments
      ------------
        Investments are stated at fair market value
        except guaranteed investment contracts
        which are stated at contract value. 
        Contract value represents contributions
        made under the contract, plus interest at
        the contract rate, less participant
        withdrawals.  Unrealized gains and losses
        on investments are computed based upon
        market values at the beginning of the year,
        or acquisition cost if acquired during the
        year, and market values at the end of the
        year.  Realized gains and losses are
        recorded based upon market values at the
        time of sale.




(3)     PLAN PROVISIONS

        The following description of the Plan
        provides only general information. 
        Participants should refer to the Summary
        Plan Document for a more complete
        description of the Plan's provisions.

        Plan Purpose
      -------------
        The purposes of the Plan are to encourage
        savings by employees and to assist them in
        meeting major financial needs,
        supplementing retirement benefits and
        acquiring an equity interest in the
        Company.

        Plan Administration
      --------------------
        The Plan is administered by an eight-member
        Pension and Investment Committee (the
        "Committee").

        The assets of the Plan are trusteed by
        Fidelity Management Trust Company and
        detailed records of participants' accounts
        are maintained by Fidelity Institutional
        Retirement Services Company.

        Substantially all administrative expenses
        of the Plan are paid or accrued for by the
        Company.

        Eligibility
      ------------
        Substantially every U.S. employee of the
        Company, (except any employee who is
        covered by a collective bargaining
        agreement which does not provide for such

        participant in the Plan on the first day of
        any month in which he meets all of the
        requirements for eligibility.  The Plan is
        subject to the provisions of the Employee
        Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
        ("ERISA").

        Contributions
      --------------
        Participants may elect to make regular
        contributions to the Plan of up to ten
        percent of their pre-tax earnings ("salary
        reduction contributions").  Participants
        may also make additional contributions of
        up to ten percent of after-tax earnings. 
        Pre-tax contributions are subject to
        Internal Revenue Service guidelines.

        The Company may, at its discretion, make a
        profit sharing contribution as determined
        by the Company.  There were no Company
        contributions made to the Plan for fiscal
        1995.  Profit sharing contributions to the
        Plan for fiscal 1994 were based on the
        Company's consolidated performance as
        measured by Economic Value Added ("EVA"). 
        In fiscal 1995, the Company made profit
        sharing contributions totaling  $3,300,000
        for fiscal 1994 based upon the 1994 results
        of the Company.  Company profit sharing
        contributions are allocated to each active
        participant on a pro rata basis on such
        employee's base earnings, up to $100,000,
        for the fiscal year ended October 31.  The
        Company profit sharing contributions are
        invested 100 percent in the Harnischfeger
        Common Stock Fund.

        Investment Options

        Each participant elects to invest his
        contribution in one or more of the
        investment funds offered under the Plan. 
        Such elections are made directly to
        Fidelity at the discretion of the
        participant.  The investment funds
        currently available to Plan participants
        are as follows:

              737 participants as of October 31,

              The Overseas fund seeks long-term
              capital appreciation primarily
              through investments in foreign
              securities.  There were 500
              participants at October 31, 1995 and

              that correspond to the total return
              performance of U.S. publicly traded
              common stocks.  The total return
              performance is the combination of
              capital changes and income.  At
              October 31, 1995 and 1994, this fund
              had 310 and 351 participants,

              Fidelity Asset Manager Fund
             ---------------------------

              participants at October 31, 1995 and
              115 participants at October 31, 1994.
          
        Vesting of Participant Accounts
       ------------------------------- 
        Each participant has a 100% vested interest
        in his account, including employer
        contributions, from the date of
        contribution until distribution.



        Participant Loans
      ------------------ 
        Participants are allowed to obtain loans
        from the Plan which are drawn against their
        investment accounts, subject to limitations
        of the Plan, and bear interest rates of 2%
        over prime as of the date of the loan.

        Distributions
      --------------
        Upon termination of employment with the
        Company for any reason, including
        resignation, retirement, dismissal, long-
        term disability or death, participants (or
        designated beneficiaries) are paid the
        vested amounts due them by payment in: (1)
        a lump sum, or  (2) substantially equal
        quarterly or annual installments over a
        period not to exceed the lesser of (a) 10
        years or (b) the life expectancy of the
        participant or, if the participant has
        designated a beneficiary who is an
        individual, the joint and last survivor
        expectancy of the participant and his
        designated beneficiary or (3) a combination
        of a lump sum and installment payments. 
        Payment may be made in cash or property
        (fair market value at date of distribution
        as determined by the trustee). 
        Participants may request distribution of
        their accounts be invested in the
        Harnischfeger Common Stock Fund.

        In the event of financial hardship, a
        participant may apply for a withdrawal of
        all or any portion of the salary reduction
        contributions credited to his account. 
        Withdrawals during employment of salary
        reduction contributions may be granted by
        the Committee only if the participant can
        demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
        Committee that a financial hardship exists
        within the definitions of the Internal
        Revenue Code.

(4)     PLAN TERMINATION

        The Company has the right under the Plan to
        discontinue its contributions at any time
        and to terminate the Plan subject to the
        provisions of ERISA.  In the event of Plan
        termination, participants will become 100%
        vested in their accounts.                   
                                                    
         

(5)     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

        The Internal Revenue Service has determined
        and informed the Company by a letter dated
        May 10, 1993, that the Plan and related
        trust are designed in accordance with
        applicable sections of the Internal Revenue
        Code ("IRC").  As the Plan is qualified
        under the provisions of Section 401(a) of
        the IRC, it is exempted from federal income
        taxes.  Therefore, no provision for income
        taxes has been included in the Plan's
        financial statements.

        With respect to participants, pre-tax
        contributions to the Plan are excluded from
        wages subject to federal and most state
        income taxes.  Earnings on contributions
        are not taxable until distributed.
