Coal Price Control Problem Faces Government
Washington reports part settlement of the bituminous strike and prospects for ending the anthracite suspension raise a new issue for the Hoover led government. The federal fuel distributor must decide if voluntary price controls can cover new mines as imports lag and prices threaten to rise. Some advisers urge Congress to enact controls to curb coal price spikes amid the mining walkout. A slipping board notes British coal imports lag due to higher prices. Sixty five coal carrying ships have been chartered to import coal from Britain and Wales since the strike began.
