Hoover Fights Coal Price Rise Amid Retail Pressure
In Washington on June 6, Secretary Hoover faced a clash over a proposed coal price increase up to 1.75 a ton sparked by mine price hikes under a recent agreement with operators. Roderick Stephens, head of the National Retail Coal Merchants Association, said a 6 260 a ton cap would lift retail costs in Maine, the Northwest, New York, and Chicago, while Hoover insisted the public bears only a reasonable handling charge and warned against blaming retail rises on fair operator prices. He urged passing on benefits of lower wholesale prices to consumers amid ample coal supply and sluggish demand. The association named Joseph Ke O TOOLE as secretary to represent it in the Commerce Department program.
