Coal price protests push price shocks across districts
Attorney General Palaner ordered district probes into profiteering in bituminous coal under the lever act after operators threatened wage hikes from 60 cents to 1.25 a ton. Palmer argued a 14 percent December increase lowers consumer impact, with mine price rises varying by wage absorption and market conditions. He warned against speculative claims and noted reported increases would not justify a 1.25 to 2.59 per ton rise.
