the unprecedented increase in the price
of domestic coal to $3.50 a ton here

The soaring prices are due, retailers

which are working either full time.

of unskilled labor at the mines, the
freight car shortage, the premature
consumption of the reserve stock, and
the utilization of domestic coal for
manufacturing purposes.
