ENDS U. S. COAL RULE
President Paves Way for In.
creased Fuel Prices.
/ Says There Is No Provision of Law
for Fixing New Rates for Peace
Time Purposes.

Washington, March 25. - Govern
ment control over the maximum price
of bituminous coal was withdrawn by
President Wilson, effective April L.
At the same time the president
wrote the operators and miners trans
mitting the majority report of the coal
commission and informing them that
this report was "the basis upon which
the wage-scale agreements between
the mine workers and operators shall
be made"
April 1 is the date on which these
agreements normally would become eff.
fective, and by removing government
control of prices effective that day
the president paves the way for In
creased coal prices to absorb the
average 81 per cent increase recon-
mended in the majority report.
The president wrote the operators
and miners that 1t was essential tc
the public welfare that the agreements
be concluded at the earliest date prac'
ticable so that the uncertainty as tc
the fuel supply may be ended and
that the consumers may be able tc
make contracts for their coal supply
The president said he assumed that
neither party would raise any ques
ton and that he was sure that nc
question could properly be raised az
to the binding character of the aware
by the majority of the commission
Notwithstanding the fact that it was
not unanimous.
The executive order Withdrawing
government control of prices removes
virtually all government control Of
coal, placing the fuel administration
in the status 1t was before its author
ity was restored when the miners
struck last November 1.
The president said there was NJ
provision of law for fixing new Goa
prices for peacetime purposes ant
that sunless and until some grav,
emergency shall arise. which in m,
Judgment has a relation to the emer
gency purpose of the Lever act,
would not feel justified in fixing Goa
prices with reference to future condi
tions of production"
The majority report Of the commits
sion said the % per cent increase alb
sorbed the ID per cent increase al
lowed when the miners returned {,
work and that in dollars It would ap
proximate $2O0,Oo0,OO0 a year.
