Coal price hike faulted to Metropolitan Coal Company
The railroad commission pins the $14.60 coal price on the Metropolitan Coal Company asserting it fixes statewide rates and that dealers fear wage readjustments and transport changes will raise mine costs later. The commission says current mine costs and rail rates have not increased and a $14.0 price could be reasonable if changes occur.

Massachusetts coal price inquiry finds 14.50 per ton unjustified
The report details coal supply routes and price increases on April 1, cites the Metropolitan Coal Co of Boston as a key largely determining state prices, and questions the 14.50 dollar rate as unwarranted given unchanged mine and rail costs. It notes possible wage and rail rate effects but urges no current justification for higher retail prices. The commission lacks power to lower prices though suggests licensing coal dealers as a remedy.
