Industries board who. IL Is understand.
VIII he given powers invested in tho
executive In a recent law governing
priority of railroad shipments. The
trade commissions report was to have
gone to tho White House this after
noon. but when the president learned
u had been completed he suggested 81
conference. When he left the com
missions offices he carried the rcport
with him and will study u.ovcr Sun

Three Courses Open to Wilson.
Three courses arc open To Wilson.
Under the food bin he may fix prices
AT the mines and to consumers, or he
may direct some government agency to
requisitton the output of all mines,
selling 1t To the public. The third
course would contemplate voluntary
agreement by operators to sell Mt a
fair price with the government direct
ing distribution.
Officials who have followed the sit
uation most closely believe the prcsi-
dent will direct the rcquisitionng OF
all coal mined.
How Requisition Will Work.
The reauisitioning plan, If adopted,
would call for a division of the coun-
try into districts Every operator would
be paid for his product on n basis OF
cost of production plus IA definite per-
ccntage of profit. All the coal in the
district would be pooled and sold to
the public at one price. although the
piNtS lIAeu LOT inherent ulSlflcIS
might vary considerably.
Officials of the trade commission say
no scheme could be worked out where
by 1t would be possible TO pay IA uni
form price for coal at all mines.
Priority of shipment Is recognized as
one Of tho biggest problems confront
Ing the government In any solution Of
the coal cituation. Powers vested In
the president by the priority act prob
ably will be turned over to Judge
LOvett next week.
An appeal to the government to be.
gin exercising Immediately. It's powcr
to direct shipments was made today bs

of providing coal for the northwest is
