Federal panel weighs using emergency powers on coal prices
Washington Aug 10 The Central Coal Committee considered using emergency powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission to rein in coal operators not cooperating with federal fuel controls. Departments of Justice officials said the ICC has authority to distribute coal to mines to curb price hikes, while Alabama operators reportedly broke from fair price pacts.
