TAKES CONTROL OF NEW
MINES
Government Will Regulate Opera
tons and Fix Price on
Output.

Washington. Nov. 23.-Newl>
opened coal mines were put under
direct government control today by
the fuel administration. which issued
regulations governing their operation
and fixed prices at which their out
put may be sold. Development OF
further new coal properties will be
discouraged on the grounds that old
mines can be operated more efficient
ly.
Operations classed as newly opened
mines are those opened before Sep
TENDER I and ready to produce coal
by January I, 1913. After the mines
are producing at the rate of $50 tons
day they will be permitted to charge
profit of fifteen cents ton above
the actual cost of production, until
then they may charge only the pres
ent government fixed prices.
