Coal operators in Northern West Virginia set price at 3.50
Northern West Virginia coal operators who attended a Washington conference with Secretary Hoover reported approval of a 3.50 per ton mine run price for Northern West Virginia coal. They noted some districts had higher prices for lump coal but the 3.50 base would stabilize markets and keep supply strong. A meeting of the Northern West Virginia Coal Operators Association is planned for tomorrow at 5 PM in the Jacobs Building to discuss the Washington talks and future pricing.
