Navy fuel cost curbed by government orders
Secretary Daniels ordered coal and oil producers to supply the navy in large quantities at prices to be fixed later by the president after a federal trade commission ruling. The navy will use 1,750,000 tons of coal and 50,000,000 barrels of oil under this authority, with coal priced tentatively at 2.05 per ton at the mine and oil deliveries to Port Arthur valued around 1.58 to 1.80 per barrel. Steel for the navy is also being bought at a rate to be fixed, with orders prorated and payments adjusted to the commission’s rate if higher costs arise.
