COAL PRICES May

Thing of the
Past.

Especial Dispatch to West Virginian)
WASHINGTON, d. c., May "a
(2:00 p. m)-There will be no change
in the policy of the government on as
signed cars as determined when the
Railroad Administration and the Fuel
Administration came into c. lflict
some time ago. Tho dope at this min
ute 10 that the assigned cars viii be
done away with.
There is likely to be a reduction IN
the price Of coal through pressure
brought 10 bear by the Railroad Ad-
ministration which was sufficiently
strong TO get the Fuel Administration
10 concede the fairness of the claims.
This reduction is likely to be 20 or 25
cents a ton.
But there is nothing known positive
iy as YET. 1t is stated on the best or
authority that nothing has been put
in writing which binds either the Rail-
road Administration or the Fuel Ad-
ministration. Press reports Of what
are going on are ambiguous because
this is the straightest dope that has
yet gone into print regarding what is
going on, either in daily papers or
