Coal Pact Seen Boosting U S Bill by 110 Million
Industry sources estimate the WBE concessions to John K. Lewis mine workers will add at least 10 million dollars a year to the nation’s coal bill with indirect costs. The price of mining coal may rise 20 to 40 cents per ton, averaging about 25 cents, and 1950 soft coal output is projected at 450 million tons. Payroll could rise 130 million dollars, while hidden increases from higher wages and welfare fund contributions are noted. Producers say the rise will be passed to consumers but retailers should limit extra charges. Economists foresee broad ripple effects across major industries, though steel may absorb some costs.
