Action of Congress Awaited by
Federal Distributor-Soft-
Coal Output Jumps.

Control by the government of coal
prices and fuel distribution by volun-
teer organization stopped yesterday.
pending passage of emergency legis-
lation by Congress.
Federal Fuel Distributor Spencer
announced expiration of the fair-price
agreements with non-union operators
effective yesterday. Mr. Spencer said
the various district and general COM
mittees of the emergency fuel organ
ization will cease to function next Sat-
urday. Until then. he said, the organ
iZation will be busy cleaning up the
orders now in it's hands.
Price Restraint Ends.
The agreement as to price restraint
with the non-union operators" Mr..
Spencer said, expired yesterday with
the resumption of the union btu
minous mines. About 20 per cent of
the operators have held to this agree
ment. and it is felt that the public
has been saved a very large sum.
Pending the action of Congress and
the state authorities. the only re-
straint upon price is the schedule of
by state coal commissioners in some
of the states, to which it is earnestly
hoped the operators and dealers will
conform. These prices are about $3.50
ton maximum in the Kentucky, Ten
nessee. West Virginia and Virginia
fields, s3.75 for Pennsylvania thick
vein and s4.75 for thin vein. Stand
ards have not yet been set in other
states.

it is understood, to requests from the
governors of the northwestern states
for special priority orders for lake

governors, there is a shortage of
millions of tons of coal needed for
the adequate protection of the north
west against the coming winter.
Rapid resumption of production in
the various bituminous fields, as
shown by geological survey es-
Inmates, Mr.. Spencer said, indicated
production of 100000 tons this
