Washington. on.-Inuications that the
government is preparing to take con-
troll of the coal industry were strength
eued when President Wilson paid
visit to the Federal Trade Commits
sion and went over with Its members
estimates of coal production costs and
recommendation for dealing with the
situation completed by the commits
sion after months of investigation.
Definite action to reduce prices to the
consumer and to bring about better
distribution, 1t was learned, Will be
taken.
Before going to the Trade Commits
sion the President called on Herbert
Hoover. named TO administer the food
act. In which are provisions for con-
troll of coal: Attorney General Greg
ory and Judge Robert S. Lovett, OF
the War Industries Board, who. 1t is
understood will be given powers vest
ed in the executive in a recent law
governing priority of railroad ship
ments.
The President is deeply concerned
over the coal situation. Even repre-
sentatives of the operators admit that
parts of tie country face shortage
this winter. and from the public COM
plants are pouring In that prices are
out of all reason. The fact that sew
eral governors are threatening to
take over the industry in their states
is prompting early federal action.
Three courses are open to the Pres
ident Under the food bill he may fix
prices at the mines and to consumers,
or he may direct some government
agency to requisition the output OF all
mines, selling 1t to the public. The
third course would contemplate vol
untary agreement by operators to sell
at fair price. with the government
directing distribution.
