Ban on fuel lifted aids Washington shops reopen
The fuel restrictions in the Allegheny region have been lifted and Washington merchants and manufacturers may resume normal activity. Rail passenger service to the National Capital is expected to restore early next week as lines resume operation and coal supply improves. A conference with business leaders led to the decision, and regional rail officials say service will return as coal supply allows while citizens are urged to conserve fuel until production normalizes.

NO SNUB TO GARFIELD DR HINES ACTING UNTIL NAMED
The resignation of Fuel Administrator Garfield prompts debate over the tribunal to set wage and price terms. Contracts provide that wage increases are passed to consumers, and operators seek to shield the public from higher costs amid coal price pressures.
Public concerns rise over coal wage decisions and control
A debate on future rate increases and price setting in the coal industry centers on public cost, miner and operator interests, and the principle of capital labor influence. Dissatisfaction exists among operators with the plan, while the fuel administrator weighs implications for broader industries and railroads.
