Gas price inquiry backs municipal ownership stance
The Central Labor Coalition declared opposition to any gas price cut in Washington until production and delivery can be cheaper. It backed municipal ownership, joined by union representatives who warned price relief could harm workers as wages stay key to purchasing power. The committee reviewed city costs, compared rates across major cities, and reported prices per thousand feet with varying candle power, highlighting the need for careful feasibility before any rate change.
