Price controls on coal removed by President Wilson
Washington March 24 President Wilson terminated government control over the maximum price of bituminous coal effective April 1. The move, aimed at absorbing a 20 percent wage rise and aligning with the coal commission majority report, ends wartime price regulation and reverts to prewar fuel administration powers. The action sets new wage and price terms for miners and operators, with a 2 percent wage basis and a per cent ton increase in coal, plus adjustments for day labor and other classifications. The measure includes a commission to handle rate differentials and contemplates future industrial tribunal use if recommendations from the president’s industrial conference are adopted.
