Officials who believed the president

point to his desire thae extraordinary
powers given the government for war
purposes be placed in organizations that
can be dispensed with after the war Is
over. Many are of the opinion he will
create an organization to handle coal
similar to the food administration and
that existing agencies will be required

Operators Organize.
Operators from all the bttuminous
coal producing States met here to-day
