The mannamed would have Mt his

rector OF priority, who will place ship

the exports council, which will con-
troll exports.
Of the several war coal control
plans suggested, officials believe the
president most likely will adopt the
one calling for government reQUisi-
ton of the entire output Of the mines
and government sale of coal TO the
public. This program has the ap-
proval Of the trade commission and Of
many officials conversant with the
coal situation.
An alternative plan would provide
government price fixing by the mines
and by jobbers and wholesalers, the
coal administrator TO keep watch on
the industry and to take over the bust
ness of any concern failing to abide
by regulations to be prescribed.
President Active.
The food bill gives the president
power TO adopt either Of these plans
and authority to carry it out through
any agency he may select.
President Wilson visited the trade
commission for the second time within
three days. He called Saturday for a
conference when he learned that the
commission had completed its report
on the cost Of producing coal. Today
he made another trip and asked for
additional information. This was fur

planned the figures at length.
