Coal Industry Seeks Government Guarantees for Growth
Officials from the Nations second largest coal firm and state leaders warn that a six month lead time is needed to bring a strip mine on line and that a ten percent growth rate is required. They urge federal guarantees to ensure money is returned amid industry uncertainties. West Virginia production fell over six percent in the first nine months of 1973, potentially sliding to about 115 million tons, the lowest since 1961. Kentucky could lead in national output with a two percent drop in coal production.
