Des Moines reports misunderstandings between Iowa coal operators and the state board of control led to contracts being let out of state. A meeting of twenty operators from Iowa’s four mining districts formed a plan to revise specifications to ensure Iowa coal competes with Illinois for state contracts. Both sides blamed the issue on current practices, noting Iowa uses 140,000 tons of coal for institutions under the board. Operators insist contracts should stay with Iowa men if price and quality match competition.
