The new olan will have the moral i support of the foreign consula in the port, and the shipping firms who are vitally interested in having the business i of engaging" sailors regulated along the ": best possible lines, consul ueaerrjergn : eavs the two men, Wisschusen ana Jones, came to him highly reoom mended, but nevertheless he investi- tea ted their character and standing be- ' fdra assuring; them of the support of . the shipping fraternity so far! as he has been promised. Wisschusen is an : ex-army and navy man and Jones, who came here from Ogden, Utah, was for- me.-ly engaged with a construction con tract Ins; firm. ' ' " - The plan as proposed by Consul Cederbergh is io place the sailor on - en equal with other men who hire out for work, doiner away with the method of selling him like chattels. A fee of $10 will be charged a ship for each - man signed, and for that man only. For years past the price of a sailor in this port has been $55 and up, about half of that amount going as advance out of the sailor's pocket upon his ar rival at the ship's destination. - W1U Save Mm. Money. ' The advance was supposed to pay for outfits clothes, bedding", etc., but it is said that -these articles can easily be obtained by the men If they so desire at a nominal sum to be paid for by the : ship and bought In the open market. Cotfsul Cederbergh, who has given the nrnblem , of engaging sailors a great deal of attention, In speaking of the new proposition for furnishing crews, made .the following statement: "The federal laws, and our own state law passed in 1903, as regards the ship ping of sailors, have Improved matters to some extent, but much remains to, be done for theMwelfare of the seafar-1 Ing man and the owner of foreign ton-! nage, to say nothing of the necessity for redeeming the good name of this ort In these last nve years very lew. any,- cases have been , reported In I which sailors have been shanghaied. ! but rumors are still occasionally heard of sailors being Induced to desert their vessels, the proof of which It 4s prac- tlcally Impossible to obtain. "However, desertions have decreased considerably in the last few years In I this port, which I think has been due ( to the enforcement of the federal and 1 " state laws, and perhaps also owing to the- fact that tramp steamers have . largely taken, the placa Qt sailing ves- ' "Consul Jarhes Laldlaw, In his annual report for 1904, saya that in the year 1903 there were 40 per cent of deser tions of the crews of British ships In this port, but In 1804 the consul reports '. It had decreased to 25 per cent My , statistics for 1907 show a large de crease In desertions. ' Bold Xs Too Strong. "In my opinion the licensed boarding- master of this port has yet too strong i . . a hold on the shipping men. with the exception of our own Norwegian ton- nage, and In this connection it is only I fair to state that the first Norwegian! Vessel to enter this port since my ap- j :'pointment as vice-consul was in the ' year 1906. j I . "During the year 1906 we shipped on ! ' lour tonnage a total of 43 men, all ' ' through the boarding-master, paying ! V1 for each man the statutory sum of $30 per man allowed by the Oregon law to 'the boarding-master, totaling $1,505.1 besides the $5 shipping fee per man of I $215, which waa collected by the board- J Ing-master, and $5 par day for a watch- , man on each of the eight vessels from . this port to Astoria, averaging, inelud- ; in the railroad fare of the watchman . back to Portland, about $15 for each , : vessel, or a total of $120.
