Show uu Coal Prices to Meet Increased Cost of Labor WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 No prices for anthracite coal, revised to meet increased labor costs were announced today by Fuel Administrator Garfield, effective on coal mined on or after Nov. 1. At that time, approximately sixty percent of the estimated season's supply had been mined and all of this, under tho fuel administrator's order, will bo sold at existing, prices.
