Signs Order Ere Senate Votes on Fuel Policy
Dr Garfield faced a Senate hearing on the coal shortage and the five day fuel closing order. He insisted the plan aims to ship coal for ships and allies, with penalties for violations, while various groups urged restraint and considered alternatives like eight hour days. Schools and food industries faced exemptions and special rules as the administration maneuvers to keep production and supplies moving.
Stocks Break on Fuel Order and Recover in Opening
New York stock markets opened with sharp declines amid the fuel administrator order, with many investment issues slipping 1 to 3 points. Losses were largely reversed by midday as banks and allied institutions supported continued normal market functions. United States Steel fell to about 90 1/8, but closed just above, while rails lost near two points. Call money eased. bonds were irregular. The report notes Dr Garfield’s order excludes certain food-related industries and that state administrators will decide the position of other food-dependent sectors. Preferential fuel delivery directs reserves to specified consumer classes, potentially diverting coal to factories and stores during the next five days.
