     7. Increase in Coal Price.

     The following communication in regard to increase in price of
coal was presented:


               Stearns Coal and Lumber Company

                        Stearns, Kentucky
                        October 30, 1933


     TO OUR CUSTOM'RS:

               Effective October 2, 1933, we put in a wage ad-
     vance at our mines, authorized under the Code approved by
     the President of the United States for the coal operators
     in this Distriot.   The advance in wages to our men in-
     creased our cost of Production O.30 per ton.

               All coal shipped to you on your contract during
     the month of October, on which invoicing has been delayed,
     will be billed showing the advance mentioned above.

              From information that will come to you from time
     to time, you will readily see that the advance we are pass-
     ing on to you is not as great as it would have been had
     you placed your business in the hands of some other company.
     This is occasioned by our having paid, prior to the wage
     advances that we have put into effect, a higher wage
     scale than some of our competitors.


8,


               We hope you will accept the increase in price
     in the same spirit that we gave the wage advance to our
     men.

               Kindest regards.

                               Yours very truly,


                                   Stearns Coal Sales Company,
                                           J. M, Daniel
                                           Sales Manager


     The Business Agent was directed to consult the State Purchas-
ing Agent in'regard to the increase in price in its relation to
the contract,
