Warning Over Profiteering Marks Coal Price Policy Shift
President Wilson ordered end to government control over bituminous coal prices and urged miners and operators to negotiate a new working agreement based on the coal strike settlement commission majority report. Price control ends April 1, with a 27 percent wage rise offsetting a 14 percent preexisting increase, costing about 200 million dollars annually. The move preserves the Tidewater coal exchange for exports and invites a joint conference, while White’s minority view calls for broader gains for day labor and monthly men.
