George H. Wisschusen and Charlea

secured an employment agency's license
v this morning from the city and In view
of the fact that there will be no board-

floe opened this afternoon and will be
conducted along the regular employment
aaency lines with the exception that a
specialty will be made of aallora' Jobs.
' . 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.
" "To the foregoing expenses roust be. I

. of $1,070, making a total In favor of

"In my opinion the legislature Should
enact a law abolishing the boarding
