MAY CANCEL ALL COAL DELIVERY 

 CONTRACTS. 



The United States Fuel Administra- 

 tion is considering recommendations 

 that all contracts for the delivery of 

 coal by producers be cancelled as of 

 April 1. Throughout the past winter 

 the Fuel Administration has allowed 

 all coal contracts to stand, although 

 the administration has the authority 

 to invalidate the agreements. 



Despite the fact that with practical- 

 ly the entire output under contract 

 the Fuel Administration found it diffi- 

 cult during the winter to secure "free" 

 coal for general distribution, the con- 

 tracts were not canceled. 



It was felt that the Fuel Adminis- 

 tration should allow the contracts to 

 continue pending the organization of 

 a complete Federal plan of distribu- 

 tion, which has now been developed 

 and which will become effective April 

 1. 



By far the larger percentage of the 

 contracts now outstanding will expire 

 with the beginning of the new coal 

 year on April 1. The small percentage 

 remaining affects but a small part of 

 the country's coal output. A part of 

 these will be automatically canceled 

 by the limitations placed on the move- 

 ment of coal by the new zone system 

 of distribution of bituminous coal. 



The cancellation of these contracts 

 would place the entire coal output of 

 the country directly under the control 

 of the Fuel Administration. Under 

 regulations already issued by the Fuel 

 Administration all new contracts for 

 the delivery of coal must be made at 

 the prices prescribed by the Govern- 

 ment. Many of the contracts now in 

 force were made at a time when prices 

 were abnormally high. The cancella- 

 tion of these old contracts would bring 

 the whole coal production into the 

 market at the Government prices and 

 under governmental regulations of dis-
