Wilson Drops Price Control on Bituminous Coal
President Wilson ordered the end of government price control on bituminous coal starting April 1 and urged miners and operators to negotiate a new working agreement based on the coal strike settlement commission’s majority report. The plan allows wage-driven price absorption while warning against profiteering and unreasonably high coal prices. The majority report favors an eight hour day and rejects the six hour day while reporting a 27 percent wage hike with an estimated $200 million cost, plus the 1 percent raise already awarded. Some operators fear prices could rise about 40 cents a ton.
