Emergency ruling orders coal moved by preferred routes
The Interstate Commerce Commission declared an emergency in territory east of the Mississippi and ordered preferred rail routing for essential goods, prioritizing coal and fuel. It mandated disregarding usual practices to speed movement, forbidden coal diversion, and directed empty-car delivery to coal lines to prevent congestion. Hoover noted arbitration failed and government may legislate if the plan endures.
