SHIPPING BOARD CUTS
FOREIGN SERVICE COSTS
Employees Reduced From 600
to $50 at $46O,OOO.

Heavy reductions in the Shipping
Boards foreign organization were re-
ported yesterday by Joseph f. Sheedy,
European manager for the board, on his
arrival aboard the America of the United
States lines. Last year. he said. the en-
tire European staff cost about S1.e00.o0o
"A year, and now the expense is $3.50, 600,
or $4,000 less than the former cost OF
the London office alone. t
There were 500 employees IS per cent.
OF whom were Americans. and now there
are $50. of whom 9S per cent. are citi-
zens. American ships and cargoes, Mr..
Sheedy said. are getting much better in
surance rates. In Europe, ne added,
there is a general feeling that If the
American ship subsidy bill is passed
British shipping win suffer.

SHIPPING NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE w
FLEET OF ELECTRIC
DRIVEN FREIGHTERS
Boats Would Ply From Here
to Chicago in Open Canal
Season.

Operation Of a fleet of Diesel electric
drive freighters between New York and
Chicago during the open season Tor
canal navigation and in coastwise or
West Indies service during the winter
js planned by the Central Steamship and
commerce Corporation Of New York.
The types of vessel heretofore operated
on the canals have been forced 10 lay
up during the closed season.
T. ID. Wells, naval architect, has
drawn plans for seventeen of the COM
bination canal, lake and ocean type ves-
sells and has asked for estimates on
the propulsive and auxiliary equipment.
The company, meanwhile, is working
out with the builders plan of pay
ment. Shippers are said to have shown
much interest in the plans. and an OF
fer for the winter charterng OF the
ships for fruit and sugar trade In the
West Indies is reported.
The Diesel engine permitting the
builders practically TO eliminate SUPER
structure, made the new types possible.
They will carry collapsibe masts Tor
handling cargo and will be 257 feet lonS
nv AZ broad and 1S deep. There will ba
two refrigerating holds and machinery
for this. as well as other auxiliary parts,
will be driven from the main power
plant a 1000 horsepower Diesel en-
600 each and it is planned to have some
OF the seventeen in service this year.
Mr.. Wells regards the new type as
Simplifying an answer to the farmer
demand for canalization of the st. Law
renee to admit ocean going steamships.
The Diesel ships will be small enough
to navigate the present canals and sea
worthy enough to be given the highest
classification by the American Bureau
of Shipping.
Another big ship construction job
which, however. is still in the embryonic
stage, Is the building of ten or more
steel tankers of a specialized light draft
type which is understood to be con-
templated by the New England Oil Re-
filming Company of Boston. The ships
would be about $50 feet in length and
would ply to Maracaibo Lake and other
Venezuelan ports. for which draft OF
eleven feet or less would be necessary.
1t is estimated by Marine Engineering
and Shipping Age that the first three
months of 1922 have brought out a total
of S34, 1927, 900 in contemplated ship build
ing and repair work and sl4.930.2o6 IN
actual contracts placed.
