Plan to govern coal and rail in emergency nationwide
President Harding unveils a government plan to control coal and rail movements during the strike crisis. A four member presidential committee led by Hoover and Daugherty will direct distribution, with operator and worker delegations and regional drafting groups to enforce fair pricing and car movements. The plan, validated by Attorney General Daugherty, authorizes use of the Transportation Act to grant the ICC broad control and sets up 14 regional offices to monitor equipment and prevent shortages.
