OF UNEMPLOYED, NOW HEADS BIG
500, 900, 900 SHIPPING PROJECT

Washington, Feb. 1S.-From head
of an army of unemployed march
ing ca Washington to head of
proposed ship reclamation cor
poration to be capitalized at $780,
100000 is the evolution Of General
Jacob S. Coxey of Massillon, o.,
who % years ago next March be-
gan his famous pilgrimage TO
Washington
General Coxey has just present
ed to Albert d. Lasker, chairman
Of the shipping board, a plan to
motorize and reclaim 112 OF the
smaller, least desirable steel ships
of the feet. These ships average
5,375 lightweight tons each.
II the shipping board will enter
tain the proposition. which is
backed by complete history of the
successful motoTships now sailing
the seas, making money during
the period of depression in which
steamships are tied up losing
money, General Coxey is prepared
to go before congress to urge an
appropriation of $50, 120, 600 of
legal tender treasury notes to pay
for the converting of the ships.
Associated with General Coxey is
Theodore D. Wells, internationally
known naval architect and en-
gineer, of New York
Wells has worked OIt tables
showing that to motoFize these
ships will increase their zone of
operation on one fuel charge 275
per cent; will increase cargo carry
ing capacity 5 per cent; save in
operating costs at least As per
cent; increase speed of turn
around" and generally make the
ship more productive and less ex-
pensive.
Chairman Lasker has declared
the small steel ships to be imprac-
ticable for transoceanic trade pur-
poses.
General Coxey has the completed
plans for the installation of inter
nal combustion oil motors in the
small ships which, he says, will
transform them from a dead loss to
taxpayers into moneymakers and
will go far toward establishing the
American flag on the seven seas.
General Coxey proposes:
