Coal Price Hikes Across 22 Districts Under New Wage Pact
The Bituminous Operators Negotiating Committee says no meeting with Lewis is scheduled and no immediate overtures expected as the government UMW contract raises wages by 18 12 cents per hour and adds a 5 cent ton levy for a Health and Welfare Fund. Vacation pay rises to $100. OPA estimates the wage deal will lift operators’ costs by 280.5 million dollars with 57.75 million borne by operators and 222.75 million passed to consumers. About 100 million tons of coal from captive mines owned by railroads or industrial concerns are exempt from full pass-through. The six day work week sets price increases. reductions in work days trigger 12 cent per ton cuts, and if the increase is under 12 cents, the hike is reversed. The cost rise per ton averages 49.5 cents under the new schedule, with 11 cents of the rise absorbed by operators and 34 cents passed to consumers after adjustments for strike losses and other costs.
