NEW SHIP BOARD PLAN.
Charles Piez to Direct Operations
of All Vessels.

Revision of the ship operation policy
of the Shipping Board will be brought
about within a few days and a new
director in charge of all operations of
Shipping Board vessels will be ap-
pointed, 1t was learned at the Ship
ping Board today.
Charles Piez of Chicago. former di-
rector general of the Shipping Board,
was in conference yesterday with the
board. and will be appointed director
general in charge of operations and
ALLEGATIONS. it was understood today.
The government would assume COM
plete direction Of operation of all ves-
sells owned by the Shipping Board and
either operated by it or by firms to
which Shipping Board vessels have
been allocated under the plan under
stood to have been discussed yester-
day by Mr.. Piez with the board.
VIII Not Delay Sales.
The ship-operation policy which was
discussed yesterday with the board will
not interfere with the sale Of Shipping
Board vessels to American ship opera
tors. 1t will, however. endeavor to place
most advantageous trade routes avail
able and will extend American trade in
American bottoms to all corners of the
world.
Mr.. Piez is practical shipping man
who has had large experience in admin
istrative affairs. AS director general of
the emergency Fleet Corporation In
'1917-191S he headed the organization
that placed the American flag on the
high seas as a challenge to the sub
marine during the war and which ulti-
mately brought American shipping from
a position of comparative insignificance
to one of International Importance.
Board Controls 1,60O Ships.
Approximately 1000 ships are now
either operated directly by the Ship
ping Board or are operated under su-
perVision of the boards division of
operations. Determination of the ad-
ministration to get the government
out of the shipping business will not
American ships in profitable trade
routes, it was said today.
The present shipping depression, 1t
was said, will practically force con-
tinued operation Of Shipping Board
vessels for some time. as the market
for ships has dropped to such a de-
gree that sale Of the government
owned vessels would result in a heavy
loss. While the policy of the new
board in regard to ship sales has
not been announced, It 10 q question
whether 1t would be more satisfac-
tory to push the sale Of the vessels
and take the resulting loss or con-
tinue their operation with the chances
for profit. That the latter course may
be pursued, in part at least, was un-
derstood to have been indicated ri
yesterdays conference.

Declared Complicated.

In addition to this large capital ex-
penditure on the part Of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company
the bill also requires the Capital Trac-
tion Company to make track extern
sions and connections which are esti-
mated to cost S1.3S7. 900.
Another section of the bill limits
the maximum allowable rate of fare
at four tickets for 25 cents. or cents
each, which will reduce the combined
annual revenues of the several COM
panies by $1.S50,000, based upon the
number Of passengers carried during
the year ended April 80, 1921.
1.-The last section of the bill author
ICES the Capital Traction Company to
acquire the property and franchises Of
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company. but makes no mention Of
the property of the City and Suburban
Railway Company. the Georgetown
and Tenleytown Railway Company
and the Washington-Interurb Rail-
road Company, all of which are inde-
pendent companies. although con-
trolled by the Washington Railway
and Electric Company, through its
ownership of majority Of their stock
THE commission is of the opinion
that the passage of such a measure
would tend to further complicate an
already complex situation. without
having the desired effect of enabling
the companies to furnish adequate and
satisfactory service at a reasonable
rate of fare. The commission there
fore recommends that favorable action
be not taken on Senate bill 19S3."
