No Reason for Present Prices in Coal War
The United States bituminous coal commission declares present prices inexcisable and out of relation to production costs from higher wages. It cites various causes for the temporary upward trend including fear of coal scarcity from foreign demand and car shortages. Production is up from last year and 1918 levels, with efforts to stabilize prices via interstate regulation and new legislation. In Pittsburg Kansas, court inquiries resume as about 4000 miners refuse to work amid contempt rulings against union leaders. Forty mines, over half the district, are closed.
