Labor leaders accuse scoundrel interests delaying coal code
Spokesmen for organized labor charged that powerful interests obstruct coal code negotiations to create surpluses of low quality coal. They warned that deliberate overproduction would slow mine activity after the code takes effect, with higher wages and pressure on prices. Some sales to railroads and utilities were reported below production cost, as low as 90 cents a ton. The NRA moved to speed talks, forming two operator committees after public hearings to work on the code and related issues.
