Subvention Cut for Bituminous Coal Shippings to Manitoba
Minister of Mines Hon. W. A. Gordon announced reducing the maximum subvention on bituminous coal shipments to Manitoba from 1.50 to 1.20 per ton. The move aims to equalize treatment among operators without harming markets against foreign coal. The change follows discussions with Crows' Nest Pass coal operators and notes the 1931 order disadvantaged the southern Alberta field. Acceptances before April 15, 1932 will stay in force under the old maximum until specified tonnages are shipped.
