COMMISSION LIFTS BAN AGAINST COAL Public Utilities Must Supply Public Wholly in Order to Get Priority ?Other Changes Made Washington, Sept. 18.?Priority in shipment of coal by water to New. England, put into effect several weeks ago to relieve the New Eng land coal shortage, was suspended to-'i day by the Intrestate Commerce Commission. The order gave preference to coal ( shipments amounting approximately ' X,250,000 tons of coal monthly to 1 New England through tidewater ports 1 "The action of the commission," ] the commission announced, "is based y upon a thorough review of the coal c situation ^nd was taken with the acquiescence of the New England Coal i Commission and because the coal sit- \ uation in England had improved suf- , ficiently sc that the present continu- ] ance of this emergency order is re- ( garded as unnecessary. Whether the , order giving preference will later be ] revived will depend upon the future < course of coal production and move-i. ment." 1. Must Supply Public Wholly t( Priority of movement of coal to public utilities, public institutions and i"e plants, order about three months ago, was modified today by the Inter LUiic uummerce ^umiiiissiuii iu piwvide that priority shall apply to public utilities and ice plants only when such concerns supply the public wholly. The commissioner denied the request of the steel industry that open top cars with sides of 42 inches or less be exempted from the coal car preference order. Representatives ofi the steel industry in appearing before the commission declared that such an exemption would release many cars for the movement of steel, which it was said, was an urgent need. The request of the packing industx*y for preference in the matter, of coal supply also was denied.
