Soft Coal Price Raised by OPA Amid Labor Strike Aftermath
OPA authorized soft coal price increases averaging 40 3 2 cents per ton as the first step toward reforming seized private operations. The raised rates vary by district and mine type, based on a six day work week with time and a half for the sixth day, with 12 cents per ton deducted if the sixth day is not worked. George Ward of the Harlan County coal operators association criticized the plan as not covering higher costs from recent wage concessions to the United Mine Workers. Western Pennsylvania operators cautioned it may take months to gauge impact, while a comparable rise for anthracite is anticipated next week.
