Coal Exports To Be War Use Only Policy Enforced
Washington reveals new export rules prioritizing war needs and essential commodities, restricting coal shipments abroad. Garfield says exports will not match last year's volume, with Canada exempt and nonwar exports controlled by the fuel administration. Prices for export coal remain higher than domestic but lower than other nations, as government aims to keep domestic supply for industry and households. Senate panel hears profits rose under government price controls, with Thorne arguing government mine operation or full output purchase needed to ease shortages. He criticizes high costs of small mines and calls for closing inefficient operations to lower consumer prices.
