Government ends coal price controls April 1
President Wilson orders discontinuance of government control on bituminous coal prices starting April 1. He urges operators and miners to negotiate a low working agreement based on the majority report of the strike settlement commission. Without price controls, public costs may rise, including $100,000,000 in miners’ higher wages and more if a shorter workday is adopted. Armenian independence gains League protection, per the League’s Supreme Council.
