May Invoke Power To Fix Maximum Prices For Coal
The National Bituminous Coal Commission may invoke its power to fix maximum coal prices to prevent price spikes during a potential long mine shutdown. Chairman Percy Tetlow said action could come quickly, perhaps within 24 hours, if the Appalachian bituminous producers and the United Mine Workers Union fail to resolve their deadlock after May 1. About 70 percent of soft coal output from eight Eastern States is idle, affecting roughly 330,000 miners, with another 125,000 miners to strike May 4.
