GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF SOFT COAL PRICES REMOVED;
MORGANTHAU IS SENT TO MEXICO FOR UNITED STATES
IS WITHDRAWN
WILSON WARNS AGAINST UN
REASONABLE PRICES
.
Assumes That Neither Oper
ators nor Miners Will Ob-
Jeet to Settlement.
Washington, Mar. 23.—Government
control over the maximnm price of
bitnminous coal was withdrawn to”
effective April Ist, by President Wil
son. At the same time President Wil
son wrote to the operators and miners
transmitting the wmapority revort of
the coal commission aund informing
them that the report was the “basis
upon which the wage schedule agree
ments shall be made.”
April, Ist is the date upon which
these agreements normally would be
come effective and by removing gov
ernment contro!, the President paves
the way for increased coal prices to
absorb the average twenty-seven per
cent increase recommended by the
majority report.
The executive order removes virtu
ally all government control of coal,
The President said there was no pro
vision of law for fixing new coal pri
ces for peace time purposes and that
“unless and until some grave eme:-
gency shall arise, which in my judg
ment has relation to the emersoncv
purposes of the Lever act, I would not
feel justified in fixing coal prices with
reference to the future conditions of
production.”
The president wrote the operators
and miners that it was “essential to
the public welfare that agreements be
concluded at the earliest ddfe practi
cable, so all uncertainty as tq fuel sup
ply will be ended and so that consu
mers may be able to take contracts
for their coal supply. |
He said he assumed that neither
party *would raise any guestions and
that he was sure no question cnulrl;
properly be raised as to the hindinc:l
character of the award by the mzmm--i
ity of the commission, notwithstand
ing the fact that it was not unanimous. !
