Operators’ Reply to Miner Stakes and Rate Claims
The operators defend their stance, denying prior familiarity with the Clove agreement and accusing Ratebford of Ohio-based bias. They assert miners in Obin are owed about 31,100,000 in gains at nine cents per ton and claim Ohio's interest could flood markets with coal while Pennsylvania workers face lower wages, stressing rate disputes affecting Pittsburg district and local coal shipments.
