DETAILS OF PROPOSED
NEW AIRSHIP ANNOUNCED.

Washington, Jan. 13.--LP)-Details
of the 100000 cubic foot all-metal
dirigible which the aircraft Develop
ment corporation ofDctroit has asked
to build for the navy for 100000, be-
came available today in published
proceedings of the house appropria-
tons committee in framing the navy
supply bill.
The navy has not yet awarded the
contract to the company, in which
Henry Ford is interested. although
it is studying the proposition.
AS explained by officers of the
Detroit company, the ship would be
$50 feet long and so feet thick, car
rying engines of 400 horsepower with
speed of 20 miles an hour. Dur
aluminium would be used instead Of
fabric to cover the entire ship.
To Have Higher Safety Factor.
The craft would be shorter and fat
ter proportionately than the Shenan-
doah, and, it was contended, have q
safety factor of between 8 and 10 IS
compared with the 1853 of the Shen-
andoah.
The cost, it was estimated, would
actually be about 100000 for con-
structi0n, the company putting in
100000 against the 100000 for the
navy.
Admiral Moffctt, chief of. naval
aviation. reiterated his stand in favor
Of construction of dirigible Of at
least 100000 cubic feet as COM
pared with the 100000 Of the Shen-
andoah, at a cost Of $4,0OO,OOO.

BOTH SIDES
STRENGTHEN
THEIR LINES
Mipers. and Operators Both
Plan 10 Maintain Their
Position in Strike

New York, Jan. 13.- R--With ne
gotiati0ns broken off because neither
side would recede an inch, antnra-
cite miners and operators today
strengthened their lines to MAINTAIN
their poxition in the hard coal strike.
Each side blames the other for
stif-necked opposition to any peace
plan that would send back to work
the $4,000 men and boys who have
been idle since September /.
Arbitration was the big issue on
which the conference split, the min
ers refusing to adopt that form Of
settlement if it involved the possi1
bility Of decrease in wages.
The grievance committee Of the
Pennsylvania Coal company, repre-
senting more than 10000 men. has
urged the calling out of 10000 main
tenance men. Union leaders say,
however, that no maintenance men
will be called out unless there are
violations Of the agreement by which
such workers stay on the job.
