Coal sales average 12 cents above minimum prices in 1940-41
The Bituminous Coal Division reports soft coal producers averaged $2.13 a ton at the mine from Oct 1940 to Sept 1941, 12 cents above the $2.00 minimum. Cost rises in 1941 and wage increases prompted calls to raise minimum prices. District figures show varied gaps between minimum and actual prices. A separate inquiry will study rent changes in Weirton, West Virginia.
