Francis Coal Marketing Provisions Faulted by WV Operator
West Virginia operator James D. Francis testified for nearly five hours that the coal marketing provisions are unconstitutional and impractical. He described WRA arrangements as erratic and politics driven, and said the Guffey bill’s price rules would be worse. He proposed relaxing anti trust laws with safeguards to permit agreements that set fair prices and wages. Francis, key organizer of Appalachian Coal Inc, argued producers could stabilize markets and avoid dumping, while Indiana’s Jonss Waffle urged the bill would demoralize the industry and be impractical.
