Coal rationing tightens as essentials only rule takes effect
State and municipal authorities prepare to enforce coal limits under a national fuel order. The plan restricts supplies to essential uses such as transportation, government needs, public utilities, and urgent consumer needs. Retail dealers face oversight to prevent nonessential distribution while mine workers await the impact of a 14 percent wage hike.

Withhold ruling on essential industries
Washington officials noted the order could shut down industry but offered no firm estimates. Industries using their own power would likely halt when coal runs out while those on public utility power could continue unless utilities or local authorities declare them non essential. No rule is set yet on what counts as essential industry.

Palmer opposes further coal wage talks as futile
Attorney General Palmer urged Americans to reject pressure for more miner operator wage conferences. He said Garfield's proposed raise would lift costs without easing coal prices and warned renewed talks would prolong high living costs for three winters. The plan to form a joint consultative body was seen as acceptable to operators if miners return to work.
