Costs To Slash Output Of Coal
John E. Edgerton, president of the Southern States Industrial Council, warns that miners’ wage and hour demands threaten higher coal prices and reduced demand. He argues UMW strikes for pay from 5 to 5.50 a day and hours from 35 to 30 would bankrupt the industry, raise prices 40 to 45 percent, and shrink production as competition from gas, electricity, and oil grows. He notes wage gains since 1933 and TVA projects in the southern fields, urging restraint to avoid massive layoffs.
