Anthracitis Less Prevalent

With the end of the coal shortage in sight, however distantly, Attorney General Daugherty is taking steps to prevent profiteering in anthracite in the future. He ordered filed in the United States District Court at New York a final decree for separation of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company from its coal subsidiaries, pursuant to the Supreme Court order.

Mild weather eased the suffering caused by the shortage and quickened coal movements. In response to the Walsh resolution in the Senate, the Interstate Commerce Commission refused to lay an embargo upon coal exports to Canada in order to benefit New England.
