Coal price control ends as Wilson withdraws order
President Wilson withdraws government price control on bituminous coal effective April 1, 1920. He informs operators and miners of the majority report from the coal commission, framing wage and contract terms and signaling a return to prewar conditions while noting no fixed future prices. The move ends government control and sets the stage for new wage agreements and potential price adjustments tied to production and hours.
