US Revenues Slump Warned Amid Coal Mine Strike Fallout
Washington officials warn of sharply reduced federal revenues and inflation risk if coal mines stay shut. Treasury Secretary Snyder cites revenue impact, while Civilian Production Chief Small says only rapid coal resumption sustains production to fight price rises. Senator elect Roberson predicts 10 to 15 million workers idle if the strike lasts 30 days. President Myerhoff of the Home Builders Association says coal shutdown endangers 400,000 veterans housing units already under way. Small notes the walkout ended nearly half a year of high output following the spring mine closure.
