New prices would be higher, he pre-
dicted.
Bituminous coal retail prices were
raised an average of about $160.
President Truman Monday asked
coal and steel industries to curb
price rises until they had calculated
the actual costs of the new union
contract.
John D. Battle, executive secre-
tary of the National Coal Associa-
tion, in a letter to Mr.. Truman de-
clared the 1916 average net operating
margin for commercial bituminous
mines was less than 13 cents a ton.
