Minimum Coal Prices To Be Set
Western Pennsylvania retail coal prices will be fixed soon after an emergency declaration by Division No. 9 of the retail solid fuel code authority following a hearing with 150 dealers and truck mine operators. Secretary I. E. MacQueen said the authority will determine the lowest fair price allowing wage payments while maintaining competition. Examples included a North Braddock contract at 3.46 per delivered ton versus mine cost of 3.16, and a Swissvale contract at 3.30 delivered. Eighteen counties are in Division No. 9.
