Drastic action taken to relieve coal shortage nationwide
The Interstate Commerce Commission ordered eastern and southern railroads to give priority to coal loads for water shipment to New England and domestic destinations. The plan, effective June 24 1920, directs coal car allocation to tidewater trans shipments and requires permits from designated agents to move coal for coastal or inland use, aiming to ease domestic supply within thirty days.
