Coal Marketing Agency Is Sought in Western Pennsylvania
FITTSBURGH June 2 Attempts to form a coal marketing association to peg prices at profitable levels will be renewed June 14 at a meeting here of coal operators from 12 western Pennsylvania counties. The operators representing 32,000,000 tons annually, about 80 percent of the region's production, organized last winter after mini mum prices were abandoned by the National Bituminous Coal commission. The group, aiding similar agencies, aims to stop gap price fixing until the national commission reestablishes minimum schedules. Operators claim losses of about 23 cents per ton due to competition from northern West Virginia and Ohio. Secretary B H Canon of the Coal Control association said cooperation from out-of-state fields is essential for the plan to function. He added the effort seeks to cover costs until the Guffey act operates again.
