Coal Miners Get Big Raise at Carbon City
The Callup coal district faces severe fuel shortages as demand from Arizona and California climbs. In Douglas, miners receive a rise to 70 cents per ton for the 200 pound ton, with some mines at 80 cents, marking the highest district rate. The Direct Line Coal company, though capable of a thousand tons daily, cannot operate at full capacity due to various unavoidable reasons.
