FOR COASTWSE TRADE
Shipping Board Member Ask Business Men to Urge Neutral Boats
 for Coast Route.

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 19.-R. B. Stevens, vice-chairman of the Unit ed States Shipping Board, told the War Convention of American Busi- ness Men the demands of an army abroad will require the government to divert every available merchant vessel to the oversea service witn- in the next six months
 MT Stevens said the real pinch word in the shipping situation will come early next spring before the government has begun to turn out 2 large number of vessels.
 MT. Stevens urged the business men to support the bill now pending empowering the President to sus- pend the provisions of the shipping laws and permit neutral vessels to engage in American coastwise trade. He said the government lacks the power to cofnmandcer neutfa1 ships tied up in American ports and place them under the American flag. The neutrals are ready to place their tonnage, carrying cargoes between American ports, whenever this gov ernment gives it's permission. Hun dreds of thousands of tons of ship ping are available for this purpose
