On tha Saamen's Bill
Tbe American plowmen are interested in sea com¬ merce. It is expensive and likewise humiliating to bava to salute a foreign flag every time a fanner wants to sbip a busbel of wheat, a bale of cotton or a pound of farm products across tbe ocean, Tke American farmer is en¬ titled to tbe protection of bia flag In soiAing bis products across tbe sea, and Congress sboald give such encourage¬ ment to shipping Interests as is necessari to meet foreign competition in ocean commerce. A rec^it bill known as the Seaman's BUI became a law under tbe President's signature and Mr. R. P. Scbwerln. vice-president of tbe Paclflc Mail Steamship Company, wben asked to define this law and outline ita effect upon American steamship lines, said In part: "The bill provides tbat no abip of any nationality 'sball be permitted to depart from any port of tbe United States unless sbe bas on board a crew not less tban seventy-flve per centum of wblcb. in eacb department thereof. Is able to understand any order given by tbe offlcers of sucta vessel, nor unless forty per centum in tbe flrst year, forty-five per centum in tbe second year, flfty per centum In tbe third year, flfty-flve per centum in tbe fourth year after tbe passage of this Act, and, thereafter slxty-flve per centum of her deck crew, exclusive of licensed officers and apprentices, are of a rating not less tban able seamen.
"Tbe oversea trade of the world is competitive, therefore the original cost of tbe sbip and tbe operation of tbe sbip bave to be reckoned with In the keen competition of tbese rival nationa witb one another. The Oriental sailor Is obedient and competent and Is the cheapest sailor In tbe world. It '.i therefore manifestly clear tbat if this law applied to all nationalities In the transpacific trafflc, all would be on tbe. same economic basis, but it works a single hardship to all the ships of tbe world, except tbe Japanese and American ships, and with the latter it works two hardships. Witb the European, the cost of constructing a ship is no higher tban the cost of con¬ structing a Japanese sbip, but If tbey had to provide European crews, wbile the Japanese operated with Japanese crews, tbe condition of competition would be sucb that tbey could not overcome tbe handicap and tbey would be driven ofl. But tbe American sbip would have to contend not only witb tbe tremendous increase of cost of wage in tbe substitution of the European crew for the Chinese crew, but also tbe greater initial cost of tbe ship. As tbe Japanese have now done away with their European officers and Japanese crews, all of whom speak a common language, there is no difflculty for tbem to comply witb all tbe conditions of the bill and continue their Japanese crews, with Oriental wages.
"The law, therefore. Instead of assisting the American ship, adds another heavy burden, wbile it places none whatever upon the Japanese sbip, but, on tbe contrary, turns over to tbe Japanese tbe trafflc of the Pacific Ocean, which tbe American ship is forced to forego by act of Congress of tbe United SUtes."
