Minimum Coal Price Scales In Effect East Of Mississippi
Dec 15 marks the start of minimum price scales for bituminous coal east of the Mississippi and in Iowa under the Guffey-Winnon act. The commission denied exemptions for Gov Lehman and others, signaling rigid regulation in the soft coal sector. Local dealers warn that freight hikes and above-scale prices, plus premiums on large domestic sizes, will push customer costs higher. Utilities fear increased coal costs, with OPS projecting a $350,000 rise in coal costs for 1938 before federal price controls.
