Order on Coal Fixes Charge Excess Present
The state fuel administration fixes winter coal charges with a 90 cent excess over current Mobile prices. For example a grade selling at 10 dollars 50 cents may be charged 10 dollars 40 cents in Mobile. The order sets mine prices and allows dealers a 3.60 per ton profit plus 1.80 freight to reach an 11.40 total, while current Mobile price is 10.50. Maximum mine prices are listed by coal group and region, with Governor Kilby backing enforcement and promising an extra session if laws are needed. Cox urged the public to report violations so cars can be withheld from noncompliers and violators named.
