Not Coal's Problem Alone and War Time Prices
A coal industry article asks whether postwar price strategies can keep coal competitive with other fuels while recovering war gains. It notes labor costs may stay 20 percent higher and suggests two paths: price above cost to cover expenses or cut production costs to widen the market. The piece argues broader economic pressures will force peacetime cost adjustments across industries as workers return and demand shifts.
Wage and price shifts threaten postwar recovery and industry
The text argues that maintaining current wages after the war could boost national income and demand, but if wages rise too high relative to production costs, industries will lose markets and fail. It notes labor costs are only one part of rising production expenses and urges careful adjustment of all costs to changing economic conditions.
