New Plea May Put Coal Cost Still Higher
Railroads seeking a 15 cent per ton coal rate hike from Wyoming mines will face a decision later this month after a capitol conference among railroad representatives and the public utilities commission. Attendees included Union Pacific Colorado Wyoming & Eastern Burlington Chicago & Northwestern and Colorado & Southern with Oregon Short Line represented locally. The utilities board comprises Governor Houxt State Treasurer Gates and State Auditor Forsyth with H Allen Floyd as secretary. A second October conference is planned. If approved the increase could raise consumer coal costs by about 360000 dollars. Miners earlier demanded wage raises in line with gains in Illinois Indiana Ohio and western Pennsylvania, while operators warned the higher freight burden would shift to consumers under a fuel bill price-fixing order.
